Am I depressed or burned- out

2025-01-29 17:00:04
I've been struggling with my mental health for quite some time now. Most of the time I feel lonely,sad and angry and I feel like things will never get better for me, I don't know what makes me happy anymore because nothing does and even if it does it is very short lived and soon I go back to feeling awful. Some days I feel good and optimistic but most of the time I feel awful all I do is rot in my bed all day long I don't have any will to do anything and it's so frustrating and this makes me even more angry, I don't have any goal or ambition in life I just go from one day to another wondering when it will be over but the weirdest part is I look fine on the outside I laugh and joke around nobody around me know how much pain I'm in and I don't know how to ask for help, I just don't understand why I get so normal in front of everyone but I feel dead inside.

Let me start by asking a simple question - What would happen if the people around you saw your sadness? Will it change the way they know you? You might try reflecting on it a bit. Based on your question, it sounds like you’re carrying so much inside while trying to appear okay, and that can be incredibly exhausting. Feeling sad, lonely, and disconnected is painful, and it makes sense that you’d want to protect yourself from judgment or discomfort. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Even small steps—acknowledging your emotions, expressing them in a safe space, or reconnecting with what once brought you comfort—can help. If you ever feel ready, counseling can be a place where you don’t have to pretend, where your feelings are heard and understood.

Hi I hear you. It sounds like you’ve been carrying a lot of emotional weight for a long time, feeling stuck in a cycle where moments of relief are brief, and you keep falling back into sadness, loneliness, and frustration. The fact that you can laugh and appear fine on the outside while feeling empty inside makes it even more exhausting because no one truly sees what you’re going through. This emotional numbness, the lack of motivation, and the feeling of just “existing” rather than living could be signs of persistent depression or burnout. When nothing feels fulfilling anymore, it’s usually because your mind is exhausted from battling emotions internally for so long. You don’t have to go through this alone. Asking for help is hard, but it’s the first step toward breaking this cycle. Even if you don’t know what to say, reaching out to a therapist, a trusted friend, or someone who can just listen without judgment can make a huge difference. You are not broken, and things can get better. You deserve support, even if your mind tells you otherwise. Let’s take it one step at a time.

Hi dear concerned, I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds really hard to go through alone. Talking to someone you trust or a therapist might help—you don’t have to carry this by yourself. Things can get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

It sounds incredibly tough, and I want you to know that you’re not alone, even if it feels like it. You don’t have to carry this weight all by yourself—reaching out to someone you trust, whether it’s a friend, family member, or professional, could really help. I know it might feel pointless right now, but even small things like getting some fresh air, writing down your thoughts, or finding one tiny thing to look forward to each day can make a difference over time. You don’t need to have everything figured out, and it’s okay to take life one step at a time. Please be kind to yourself, and know that you deserve support, happiness, and a future that feels lighter. You’re stronger than you think, and you don’t have to go through this alone.

Hi... These are all very early signs of Depression. Although, these are not very uncommon in young adult these days. Try reaching out to the Counselling facility in your college campus. It is usually free and easy to access. You can also seek paid Counselling online/ offline through professionals outside. This is not a diagnosis, only a suggestion to seek professional help. We all feel this way at times, but if it continues beyond a period, i.e., 15 days or more. We must seek professional help. Childhood trauma, inadequate parental or personal expectations, Interpersonal relationships, sexuality, etc. all have a potential to cause this kind of psycho-emotional response.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist. CBT along with Interpersonal Guidance and Supportive Counselling using existentialist approach will help.

Hi, It takes immense courage to acknowledge and share the depth of your emotional pain, and I want you to know that your feelings are valid and recognized. It's as if you're living a double life, where the outward facade of happiness and normalcy conceals the intense sadness, loneliness, and anger that you're experiencing internally. This disconnect between your inner and outer worlds can be incredibly draining and frustrating, making it even more challenging to find the motivation to engage in daily activities or pursue goals and ambitions. The fact that you're able to put on a mask and interact with others without revealing your true emotions is a testament to your resilience, but it's also a reminder that you're shouldering this burden alone, which can be overwhelming. It's essential to understand that your feelings are not a sign of weakness, and seeking help is a sign of strength. Reaching out for support can be daunting, but it's often the first step towards healing and finding a way to reconcile your inner and outer worlds. Remember that you don't have to face this alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help. By acknowledging your pain and taking the first step towards seeking help, you're already taking a significant step towards reclaiming your life and finding a sense of purpose and happiness that's not just a fleeting feeling, but a lasting and meaningful one.

Hi there , Seems like you have been struggling with underlying depressive symptoms while managing your daily life , but without actually healing from things causing these symptoms , one can feel overburdened and burn out . I say this is a very brave step of admitting that this is what is happening with you Seeking help is important and it doesn't make you weaker or a problem.
