  Speaker 1: Do you feel tired all the time, but don't know why?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Does doing even the simplest and quickest of tasks make
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you feel exhausted and weary? We've made a video on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: seven signs of emotional burnout to find out more. Chronic
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: fatigue can be caused by a number of different factors.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Usually things like a poor diet, dehydration, lack of exercise,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and a bad sleeping habit are to blame. But what
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: if it isn't your physical health, but rather your mental
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: health that's the problem? If you're eating healthy, getting lots
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of sleep, and exercising regularly but still struggle to make
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it through most days, then the tiredness you feel is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: most likely due to emotional and mental distress. With that said,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: here are six possible psychological reasons why you feel tired
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: all the time. One, you're overwhelmed with life. Are you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: going through a particularly difficult time in your life right now,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: like dealing with the death of a loved one, the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: end of an important relationship, or adjusting to an unfamiliar environment?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It can be overwhelming enough that you start to feel
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: exhausted all the time trying to deal with it. There's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: too much pressure weighing you down, too many decisions to make,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: too many duties and responsibilities you need to attend to.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You feel like you don't have room to breathe anymore,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and you're seriously starting to think that you're only inches
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: away from a complete mental breakdown. Two, you're in a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: toxic environment. Does your family barely ever get along with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: each other? Are your parents always screaming at one another?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Or perhaps you feel like they're all just taking advantage
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of you without any care for your personal wellbeing at all.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's your work life that's got you feeling so
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: burnt out all the time. Is your boss overworking you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the point where you have no work-life balance anymore?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Or maybe all your workmates are trying to sabotage one another.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Either way, being in a toxic environment constantly puts your
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: mental health at risk and drains a lot of your energy. Three,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you've neglected your self-care. Have you been neglecting to take
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: care of yourself you stop eating right, you barely get
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: any sleep, and you don't keep yourself hydrated or physically fit.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Not only that, but you don't make time for yourself
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to do the things you love and enjoy. You don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: have a social life anymore. You don't spend time with
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your friends and family. And worst of all, you've lost
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: touch with yourself. Four, you feel anxious all the time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's not uncommon for people who suffer from anxiety disorders
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to feel exhausted all the time because your brain is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: always on high alert, fight or flight mode. You often
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: experience sudden spikes in energy levels, which leads you to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: feeling mentally and emotionally drained. You feel tired a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because your mind is usually running 100 miles a minute,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: overthinking and fixating on all the ways something could go
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: horribly wrong. 5. You're suffering from depression. Chronic fatigue is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one of the core criteria for a person to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with depression, along with feelings of sadness, emptiness, loneliness,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and hopelessness. When you're depressed, you don't have the energy
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: or motivation to do anything, not even the things you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: used to love and enjoy so much. You feel exhausted
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: even when you're just lying in bed all day. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: wonder what the point is in doing anything at all anymore.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You become emotionally numb, shallow, and apathetic. It's a kind
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of tiredness that doesn't go away no matter how much rest, eat,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: or sleep you get. And six, you're always stressed out.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Are you stressing about studying for a good grade meaning
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: an important deadline or finishing a project perfectly? Constant long-term
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: exposure to high levels of stress is one of the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: leading causes behind emotional and mental exhaustion. When you're stressed out,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: your body kicks into high gear and expends all of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: its energy on dealing with whatever it is you're so
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: stressed out about. Researchers have found that an oversupply of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: cortisol and adrenaline can wear you out over time and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: even cause you to suffer a mental or emotional crash. Sometimes,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Treating exhaustion with some rest and relaxation, eating healthy, getting
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: lots of sleep, and exercising regularly isn't going to be enough.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's important that you get to the root of the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: problem so you know the best way to treat it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Do you relate to any of these reasons mentioned here?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: What do you plan to do next? If you're worried
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: about your mental health, reach out to a therapist or
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a counselor today and get the help you need to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: deal with your problems in a positive way. And who knows,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it might just bring back the skip in your step again.
