"Emotional exhaustion is that feeling you get in the lead-up. That sense of dread in the morning... All the things you used to do absolutely fine and in your stride suddenly feel like you can't cope with them. A lot of people talk about this inability to concentrate, which impacts the ability to make even small decisions, like not being able to think of what to wear."
"So you'll procrastinate over things that you would normally just get on with and so things build up, which increases the overwhelm. But also, you'll feel the urge to escape. That feeling of everything being so stressful...So you'll numb it out with food, substances or alcohol. Whatever you do to numb emotion will ramp up so anything that's addictive becomes more of a problem,"
Emotional exhaustion produces a pervasive sense of dread and difficulty coping with routine tasks, including an inability to concentrate and make small decisions like choosing clothes. It can act as an early warning sign of burnout. Burnout is characterised by physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion often leads to procrastination and a strong urge to escape. People may numb feelings with food, substances, or alcohol, increasing addictive behaviours. Everyday stressors accumulate and surround a person like ink poured into a fish tank, reducing resilience and making temporary relief feel insufficient.
