When we go through difficult changes, or unexpected events arise, these can cause emotional exhaustion. However, emotion exhaustion will depend on how many things are also happening at once to you. If there is a load, we may not know how to deal with them all at once. Therefore, causing burnout, depression, anxiety etc.
Somethings we are not in control of and that’s natural. When this happens, remember that we cannot have all the answers or skills, or solution to deal with them. We might not already be in a great place sometimes when more events happen, this is where we need to be mindful of the importance that we give to each of them. Of course the event maybe important to you, but given it too much importance will allow the mind to take over causing you to feel exhausted.
The good thing to do is process it first, acceptance and give yourself the permission to go forward with what’s at hand, not trying to avoid, which is called avoidance coping, which in the long run collects negative energy that then over spills. If its not recognised, accepted and worked towards. Events need a process to happen in your mind. Not necessarily trying to figure and fix but process, acknowledge and understand it mentally. Once this has been done then you can start the solution, calming or re balancing of oneself. Emotions are like an electrical current, they need to keep flowing and stay in motion.
Things that help are; Talking to someone about it, taking time to process it, demanding time in your day to process the event. Time is of essence here, some people need longer than others, do not rush your mental state and do not put the pain aside. Once you start this you can be free of exhaustion, even if you do find yourself emotionally exhausted you will come out of it very quickly. Again, processing is not about speed of recovery its more to do with working through what needs your attention
