You’re Not Lazy, You’re Just Emotionally Overdrafted
You're not lazy. You're emotionally overdrafted.
If you’re waking up tired, canceling plans, doom-scrolling, and then beating yourself up for not being “productive enough,” you’re not broken—you’re burned out. Emotional exhaustion builds in quiet ways: saying yes when you mean no, holding space for everyone but yourself, pretending you're fine when you're anything but. This blog breaks down the myth of motivation, the truth about emotional rest, and why shame only deepens your exhaustion. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, this is your permission to stop pushing and start repairing.
Comfort in the Chaos
You’ve learned to function in the storm—but at what cost?
When chaos becomes your norm, stillness can feel unsafe, rest can feel unproductive, and calm can feel unfamiliar. High-achieving adults often wear “thriving under pressure” like a badge of honor, but survival isn’t the same as peace. This post explores how therapy can disrupt the burnout cycle, why chaos might feel safer than calm, and what it means to find true comfort—not in the storm, but in yourself. You don’t have to abandon your ambition to feel grounded. You just don’t have to bleed for it.
