Emotionally and mentally exhausted people display these warning signs. A long, stressful day at work, followed by a full house with children running around and leaving a mess in their path can really take a toll on someone’s mental and emotional state. #Psychology #MentallyExhausted #MentalHealth Timestamps: Intro - 0:00 7.

You Focus Inwards Instead of Outwards: Someone who is depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted will tend to focus on things that reflect them on the inside rather than look at the bigger picture. Everything becomes about them, even when it shouldn’t. People will also isolate themselves and detach themselves from the rest of the world. 6. Irritation: Is there a connection between irritation, depression and mental exhaustion? There sure is. In fact, depression and mental exhaustion are intricately tied. When everything is going well in someone’s life, they don’t stress or worry about anything. But when someone is unable to cope with certain things, whether it is small or big, they begin to become irritated. When it becomes a pattern, it’s basically the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The stress becomes too much for the individual and because it has now become part of his or her daily life, they stay irritated because they can’t seem to break the pattern. 5. Lack of motivation: Lack of motivation may be a sign that a person is suffering from mental exhaustion. One of the reasons people become unmotivated in life is because of exhaustion. Think about people who like to run marathons. If you are a sprinter or a runner who runs a marathon, you’re not going to feel like running once you complete it, and you’ll be depleted. Mental and emotional motivation are much the same. If you’re too tired to feel motivated, you become unmotivated. In many cases of mental and emotional exhaustion, especially depression, anhedonia is often present. Anhedonia is when people lose interest in activities they used to enjoy and have also decreased their ability to feel pressure. 4 Sleeping Disorders: Sleeping disorders can be a direct sign of depression and mental and emotional exhaustion. When someone first suspects that they might be depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted, one of the first things they notice is that their sleep has been affected. There could be two aspects of sleep that can be a warning sign. If someone sleeps too much, or if someone sleeps too little. 3. No Patience: As explained earlier in the video, irritation, which can also include lack of patience, is a common sign of depression and mental and emotional exhaustion. Lack of patience and irritability are often common for younger people, where sadness is more prominent with someone who is much older. The reason why people often become short with their colleagues and family is because they are overwhelmed. They don’t feel like talking because their mind is in a million different places and they cannot concentrate on just one thing. The small things become big things, and big things become larger. This can be overwhelming for someone suffering from mental and emotional exhaustion, resulting in stress and anxiety. 2. Disruption of Appetite: The body has certain hormones and neurotransmitters, and when we become hungry, certain ones are produced by our body. But when the body has a hormonal imbalance, like low levels of serotonin, it leads to impaired functions of all the hormones and neurotransmitters involved in this process, which leads to loss of appetite. Leptin and ghrelin both play essential roles in regulating a person’s appetite. When you have high blood levels of leptin, your appetite is reduced, and when you have high levels of ghrelin, your appetite is increased. 1. Sadness: Sadness is more associated with the older generation. The reason why people become sad when they are depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted is that they cannot handle the stress that is associated with it. When a person becomes mentally and emotionally exhausted, their mind races with feelings of stress and anxiety. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Bestie : https://goo.gl/tUqro6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestieinc/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical Disclaimer: https://pastebin.com/xLmigD6i Website: www.bestie.com
