Who said i 76 and i tired

If you feel burdened and depressed by diabetes, consider getting professional help. A therapist who is trained in treating depression can help you improve your mental health. Ask your doctor or diabetes educator for a recommendation. Connect with your peers. Talking with others affected by diabetes can also provide some relief.

Discussing day-to-day challenges, worries, and emotions with peers who have experienced similar situations can help you manage stress and brainstorm coping strategies, suggests the American Diabetes Association.

Ask your diabetes educator about local support groups or become a member of an diabetes online community for virtual conversation. Aim for quality sleep.

As many as half of all people with diabetes may have trouble sleeping , Fritschi says. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all contribute to insomnia , while frequently having to wake up in the night to urinate can also worsen overall sleep quality. Modifying your evening routine and sleep environment can help you get more rest , she says. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends; keep your bedroom cool and dark; and turn off electronics the computer and the TV before going to bed, recommends the National Sleep Foundation.

On this page: Some illnesses cause fatigue Can emotions cause fatigue?

What else causes fatigue? My mom passed in and she was an awesome and caring person but she use to tell me to stop helping my siblings so much because they never help me. Now I realize that she meant that I was helping them at the expense of helping myself. The last manager lasted 7 months and is now on admin leave because he was so awful.

Im just…sooo….. I can see some of these signs in myself. What to do? But, if you can, please help me out. To read a article like this and then pick apart and criticize grammar is absurd…. Hows that for proper grammar?? Yes so I am also burning out right now. My family always make fun of me. Few weeks back I thought that they had stopped to make fun of me but it never ends.

Last night they again make fun of me and said that I depressed peoples around me and I am so boring and also look at other people constantly and never talk to them always give weared looks. You know what that when your own family says these kind of things without even thinking then it hurts very badly. They do that far away ignoring u and then taunt you online by breaking into ur phone.

I think I finally burnt out last year. For me, it was constant rejection and loneliness. I was raised in a traditional Christian family and wanted to be married by 30 with a home and family. I was happy to work but I wanted to be a wife and mother above all else. The last one openly admitted she only cared about his money, insulted and humiliated him in public, and asked myself and another woman to help her cheat on him.

Yet he still decided that was better than being with me. I love him, not his bank account. Everyone else told me it would. But it never has. Ellie I feel you. I feel the same. I am the same. I have had the chance to have children which I feel blessed for, but have been a single mom for over 10 years and am sometimes lately just emotionally and physically exhausted from doing it solo my whole life. I have always taken pride in the fact that I love wholeheartedly and truly and not for money.

I try to be kind and helpful to everyone. I take care of myself and am personally accountable and self-reflective. We have lessons to learn that help shape us into our highest selves- our best version of ourselves -if we let it. We are becoming who we were meant to be; to share ourselves with the world- to influence in a positive way.

We are learning to be unselfish and nurturing, but must also do so for ourselves. We can step into our divine birthright and trust that there is purpose, and strength in all the we come across. That we have made a choice to be here, and have CHOSEN to have certain lessons come to us to tech us, and allow us to grow and have this amazing although sometimes sad, hurtful, or lonely human experience!

I trust in divine timing and that which is meant for me, can never be taken from me! We are powerful beings when we recognize that we hold the ability to create, endure, trust, grow and become who we were meant to be. I trust that when we think back to our darkest times, there are gems of lessons there if we but look through a different perspective. I hope you find comfort and hope in this comment.

I too feel lonely and tired at times- like today, but I came here and have found that if nothing else, I could empathetically share this journey with you, and encourage you to feel hope and joy and to trust the process! I wish you well!!! The pain that you describe is very real and I can only imagine how hard it has been to go through these relationships. Your life has meaning and purpose and so much value. It is beautiful and precious to the Lord.

I am praying and rooting for you. I never wanted men. I wanted a husband. I wanted a real picture perfect family. That never happened. And that is ok. Sometimes we have to sacrifice what we wanted and just be happy with what we have. You have your health, you have a job, you need to realize that any man would be blessed to have you as a wife, and any man that does not see this, needs their vision checked.

He is 1, and until you are really ready to make a man who comes into your life your 2, God will keep withholding that man from your life. You lie between 1 and 2 always, because you are a child of God, you are important so never think of yourself less than. God made you just the way you are right now. There is a reason for all that He does. Sometimes it seems unfair, but there is always a plan.

Keep your eyes on Him and He will always show you through. I guarantee when you stop looking for a man, just give it up already. Wallah God knows that you are ready for the blessing of a truly good man of God.

A lot of people, including men, have no idea what they want. They often want someone who carries the load, does work or labor for them and bring in income they can use. Make yourself balanced, comfortable for you! Then you will attract or allow healthy people around you. They want a sarcastic, abusive, cheating gold-digger who runs around asking other women like me if we know any richer guys they can hook up with.

I have read very few stories on the web of mothers, in a relationship, doing all the heavy lifting in a family. Excuse me, but the guy would be toast before he knew it…ludicrous to suggest such behaviour would be allowed. We had three under tens at the time. Burn out flirted with me, but I refused to give in. Find strength, good will conquer all. You may well have dodged a bullet. She remarried ten years ago and is close to breaking that one up. Beyond burned out….

I have medical issues but yet still give my all to only feel used. All 4 of my tires are flat and now suffering from PTSD.

I feel so alone. Sorry to hear how you feel. I know the feeling. With me I am surrounded by people but feel as lonely as ever. We live in South Africa gunshuts assaults murders are as common as sending kids off to school. I have turned so numb to the gunshots and violence …. I was also diagnosed with PTSD. I am past burn out. If I ever get back to where I was I dont know. I lived in Egypt for 3 years had to come back to SA because my son was attacked in school. I cry every night myself to sleep because I miss Cairo my friends my family.

Hello Ellie, A month or so ago since you wrote this but hope you might still appreciate a reply from someone who counsels with a lot of those years of experience you write about not wanting to be in the same position in 10,20,30 years time.

What you say you want out of life — the so called traditional roles of being a wife and mother are brilliant aims to have. The great news is that it sounds like you are still up for having a family so that is still likely an option. Another piece of good news from reading what you have written is that you sound like you would be an amazing wife to someone who would really appreciate you.

And that is the key really… it is finding that person who would actually recognise quality. We just have to work out why you kept falling for the ones who are not worthy of you.

You are NOT disgusting…. Yes, and those men do prefer to be abused rather than loved …. But enough of them… this is all about you. The question is why have you loved those men who did not return your love? Is it because you hoped they would magically change one day? However you say that you have been single for 7 years — well although that might sound a bit grim, in one sense it is not because you seemed to have moved on from hanging around losers who treat you badly..

Yet 7 years as you are obviously sensing is high time to start dating again and putting yourself out there. Realise that you now recognise what you will not put up with so this time round you will quickly bat away anyone who is not committed to you or appreciates you for who you are.

Rather than only having the all important feeling of hope you have to start actively doing some different stuff to what you have been doing for the last 7 years apart from the not investing time in the uncommitted partners which is a good thing. Change things by changing where you go out socially, finding new friends, new interests, charity work, job change if appropriate to do so.

Chat, chat, chat to people you meet in these new situations. If you end up going out with someone who is starting to treat you truly badly again, you now know to detach yourself quickly remember you have not got time to hang around now! So Ellie, get out there safely and try new things, whether it is socially, work wise, charity wise, sports wise, travel wise… whatever.

There are billions of people in this world and you know in your heart of hearts that means there is a multitude of potentially lovely partners for you. Keep going! You can do this! Hello, thank you for the response. And I agree with all of what you advised to do. But I had no reason to think they were pretending.

So he seemed honest and sincere and I had no reason to think otherwise. Was very open about his ex and the drama she had caused, mentioned they had broken up a few months ago, but neglected to tell me he was dating someone new. I now feel as though I have to give anyone I meet the equivalent of the spanish inquisition before I can start getting to know them. They can seemingly act very open and sharing, but just leave out key information if they want to pretend to be available. That makes me stress over talking to anyone at all.

This has bin helping me so, so, so, so, so, much I can understand my self more than ever ,and I love this piece of your life story it suprized me. Oh and thanks. Does someone follow up with those whose comments are concerning? Is there a way to make sure these individuals are being supported? Hey Lisa , did you actually find help in these tips? I think i did to some degree too , it definitely hit on some good points. Now on to what am i gonna do about it.

All the things that used to make me happy now seem like a burden including praying and it also feels like God is mad at me. Finding this online makes me know for sure that I am not alone. God bless you. I hope you are able to reach out to a counselor and get help.

I think maybe you could have given yourself permission to buy a modest sports car, a convertible at least. Driving with the sky overhead and the wind in your face is pretty close to heaven and darn good for the soul.

Totally agree! Unlike you I have not support. Not my supportive wife, my loving caring children, old friend, nothing. I am not interested in normal. I hate being fake. I once enjoyed that I was different, but having been the mistreated, scapegoat, target for so long I see that this will never change.

I am intelligent, but not in the way others are. After working very hard I become burnt out. I have not been able to re-energize.

There is no break. There is no time where I can put aside responsibility to focus on centering. I have needs that go unmet and maybe they are simply greater needs than others have.

I am always beyond tired. I have nothing in the tank and on a good day I run on fumes. So when I can try my energy is used up before I can even achieve my goals.

So I read your article. You wrote some stuff and seem to be selling something even though you are giving it away. I wish you had something, but society has always been cruel to me. The only people I e ever received kindness from are the outcasts and odd balls. Even among them kindness has been rare. So why did you write this as if anyone can be helped.

There is hope, sometimes, but only if you have the support. Otherwise we are all just statistics and worthless creatures who will never be able to achieve even a hint of the life we were promised as young Americans.

Some of us are just weird and losers and society will always reject us. We are screwed. For me that is clear. Having read your apparently different perspective I see that there is no alternative. Wow, did I just write that? I agree, he just told us what we already figured out.

Then when I wean myself off to save money I got blackballed. How are you doing now? People can be nasty, but there is also people out there that will be empathetic towards you and genuinely want to be there for you to make your life happier.

Having said this, I believe it starts from within. Once you accept yourself and all your flaws, other people will too. Be confident in being different. Just be you. I have been at the same job for 21 years now. It is a stand up job on tile floors and I work 8 to 10 hours a day usually without a break because we seem to always be short staffed. About a month ago I knew I was probably headed down a less than postive path when something very strange happened.

I came home after work and sat down in my chair and stared up at the ceiling waiting for my body to stop throbbing so I could change clothes and go to bed. After a while I realized that I had been staring at the ceiling for a long time and I checked my watch to discover that I had been sitting there doing that for nearly three hours.

Then there was what is most accurately described as numbness. I have no joys in life at all. Nothing makes me happy. I fake laughter when I think it is the appropriate response for the sake of a coworker.

I have no friends for a variety of reasons and the few people that I am acquainted with do not really share my interests and I very often find myself intellectually isolated from the people around me. On the rare occasion that I feel something genuine it is just anger which is so pointless that I have nearly lost the ability to become angry.

This blog entry hit home in so many ways but the real question is what do I do now that I find everything to be meangingless? This is how I fought my way back from Burnout.

Would love to have you follow along the launch journey. Sounds like you are in a hard season. Please trust that I am going to stop right now and pray for you. God bless you and may he give you wisdom on how to move forward in good physical and mental health. I appreciate reading your article on burnout. I appreciate your perspective, in that even those truly engaged with life, spiritual connections with integrity, can still become burned out.

It seems like anyone who puts a lot into the world around them, will come to that place where they feel discouraged and possibly disconnected from their true joy and inspiration.

Thank you Carey. I needed the recognize some of these indicators. I feel like that so mutch,sad,things seem meaningless lack of self control over my emotions worthless and just feel stuck here.

Me too , I feel the exact same way lately. I hope we feel better soon. I have a few ideas but I have to start eating more and better , that should help at least a little then I was going to join some kind of gym or club.

But soon as you went into a sales pitch I quit reading. Too bad your help come with aprice tag. Which is revealing and rings hollow. The signs are here with me! I am happy for you man. I smiled for those victorious moments you have had, and laughed at others.

I feel so desperate, and hopeless. I am a lone. I do nothing. I am waiting for something to happen. I wish it will happen soon.

However, I am certain it will happen at the right time, when I jump from where I am right now ….. I see no point! What else to do! Thay bad too! I am very confused. I may confuse my self purposely! But why? Thank you! Yeah you Dont remember who you are also stop acting like your not burned out cuz your burned out dude stop trying to hide it or it will become worse.

Hey all , did you actually find help in these tips? Thank you for giving light to this topic. I am not close to the edge, Im in the edge. And it saddens me why, how is started. My motivation dropped to zero. All I have is my drive, my motivation. Thank you so much for opening up about this. I hope that this can be a first step towards healing for you.

I would really recommend that you reach out to someone in your local area that can help. A Christian counselor would be best. Carey, I have lived reading your stuff and listening to your podcasts since Covid started.

I had hoped to attend your conference this past June, but sadly Covid got in the way. I just want to offer one piece of constructive criticism.

My eye goes to every mistake, and while most of them I can figure out and just keep reading, I thought I would bring this one to your attention, because you might want to correct it.

Read your own words carefully: For me, that meant not doing three things. Carey, is quitting your job and having an affair part of your long term plan? You are better than this. Get someone reliable to eyeball it for you before you send this stuff out. Praying for you and the groundbreaking work that you do. Thank you for mentioning that. Threw me off. I reread it like 5x. Pretty good one. Mike, Mike, Mike. The words are written correct. You need to get a pair of reading glasses.

Sorry Lisa, you are wrong. And frankly calling out someone for being rude makes me think you are the one who should so some self evaluation. The wording in the OP is ambiguous at best, and should have been edited.

This is me right now and has been me since From layoffs from one of my jobs, to having to move as a result two months later, having my live in relationship break up two weeks after the layoff to literally being two days after that and again a month later.

I managed to reverse course, get a new job that replaced both of my old ones, and get back to some semblance of even keel again but then next thing you know this COVID crap starts up and the rest is history.

My contract ends on January first and now I have to start a job hunt. I have exactly zero interest in doing that in my field. In fat I have hated doing what I do since I grew up and had to start doing it to make money instead of doing it for the reasons I started in it, which was the magic and wonder of it.

I am tired of living in California with hysterical idiots. Tired of being lied to by politicians, doctors, other people. Tired of buzzword solutions to such a conundrum.

Tired of being interested in people. Tired of knowing what awkward means. I have an interview today, and have absolutely no motivation to go through with it. The idea of interview after interview infuriates me. Tired of phone calls. Tired of notifications constantly begging the question of why there is so much vital that I need to know so badly that I have to be hounded by electronic noise to avoid missing any of it, knowing I could do without all of it.

Thanks for this amazing story I felt all eleven things and it helped me know what is going on with me.

I just saw your post this is a seriously late response but gonna respond anyway how are you doing now? Anything change? My job sucks the life out of me due to the endless hostility between co- workers and the power struggle between management.

And being pulled in 10 diff directions. In my opinion, the biggest sign of burnout is decrease in productivity. If you already have a proper method to measure performance, this should be fairly easy to recognize.

Another clear sign is constant fatigue and a decrease in creativity, among others. There are various approaches you can take to slow down. Personally, you can take a vacation or sabbatical leave. On the organizational level, you can arrange an employee gathering, group vacation, etc.

Thanks again Carey. I peaked in and used your advice as a guide as God recovered me. Really appreciate your honesty and thoughts. I praise God He has made me whole again. He is awesome. For me, at the moment, it is weariness of life. Especially had a hard year and a half and those things have passed. That looking ahead to a job search will take a lot of energy and time. I have a sense of narrow options to find something to give me work-life balance AND enough money to live off.

I may need to retrain. Currently, I want to get away from people. I feel like a child and just wish someone would take care of me!! Very regressive. Living in a house with difficult owners, who interfere a lot, is stressful. The negative experience of not being able to find and afford a new place is also tiring. I have found many jobs before. I have found homes before.

I have come through parenting this far, not much further to go. We have phases of being close to people and not, being social and not. I see a lot of good is here in my life and where I live, work. I feel bad. There must be a little more enthusiasm for what we do, I think it can be found. So today all I have to do is put away my computer, go to the loo and get into bed and sleep!!

However, he would at some point like to have a sports car. I really hope so. I saw that too! Not the part to have a error in word usage. I want to email him so he can fix. Thank you very much for this post, super helpful and from the comments, helpful to lots of other people! Three months ago, I was experiencing a definite case of burnout. Being on staff at a decent-sized, growing and thriving church had me at the edge of work balance overload.

After some prayer and coming across this article, I realized for my situation the best thing to do was step away from the ministry that meant so much to me, in order to heal. Three months later, here I am… doing much better after rest and time off, and part of another amazing church ministry but on a bit smaller scale which is helping me slowly get acclimated again.

Fantastic advice. One of the biggest causes for my dilemma has been criticisms. Bless you for your honesty and your advice. Please rule out underlying issues such as Diabetes, Thyroid, Auto immune disorders….. Life coaching is awesome…. Faith is the best medicine! Be realistic about your ability to give of yourself …. You know when to stop pouring your morning coffee before your cup runs over…..

Sometimes our cups are too big…… Scale it down….. Take care of you! You are the most important person…..
