Burn out

[Kai]

I've had a really hard time dealing with stress and anxiety levels, and it's lead me to becoming burned out... I don't enjoy any of the things I used to. There is no creative juice for writing or drawing, no enjoyment for video games and even with my friends close by its hard to stay upbeat for very long.
I've had really bad luck with employment, getting stuck in shitty positions with bad companies. And i'm in a distance relationship.

How do you guys cope with burn out?

You sound identical to me. O__O I feel the same and my husband lives else where so I only get to see him in person once or twice a year which can make it harder when you don't have your partner around when you are brunt.

A big thing is too sleep as much as you can and eat well. This help soo much. Also let your doctor know you feel tired in case you have something wrong with your thyroid or anything else that can cause that feeling.

As for hanging out with friends and stuff, decline if you have to every now and then to save your energy for the next time. If they are good friends they will understand.
Try to skype with your partner during those times too IF it helps. I find even if I don't have much to talk about I feel better just having my partner around though sometimes I have to let them know I need sleep and that's fine too.

If you want to, you can always message me when you aren't feeling well.  ^.^

Oh, and as for hobbies, just do what ever you feel like doing that day or try something new. Some times I can't do the things I really like so I'll do something relaxing, or something like yoga or swimming or even looking for something new to try out.

I'm always trying to eat better... Yeah, I do different things to try to break routine.
I try to Skype with my boyfriend as much as I can, but we aren't always able to.
I'm starting to feel a little better. Thank you for the advice.
Hope you come back soon
