Crashing out

The past few days, it feels like things have just gotten worse. One mistake onto another, and it’s all just starting to get to me because it feels like i should have been doing better. Right now, all it just feels like is that I just keep messing up again and again.

And to be honest, it’s all just starting to feel really tiring. Like im so tired. I just want it all to stop. Even admitting that feels so shameful. Like i wasn’t strong enough to manage it like I should have.

Hi @anonymoususer654,

It sounds like you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, maybe even competing with yourself to keep doing better each time. I wonder if you’ve always set the bar high, to the point where stopping feels like falling behind.

When mistakes start piling up, it’s often not about ability anymore but about the body and mind running out of fuel. Going on in that state usually makes things feel worse, not better. I’m curious, why are you so hard on yourself? And what makes it feel risky or wrong to take a proper rest?

If this is exhaustion speaking, not weakness, where do you think the shame comes from? Sometimes we learn early that slowing down equals failure, even when our body is simply asking for care. Try giving yourself a bit of stillness, a quiet walk, a warm shower, or just a few minutes to breathe without guilt.

It’s okay to stop for a while. Rest isn’t losing; it’s how you rebuild the strength to begin again. Would you be comfortable to share more about your situation?

hello, I understand you are overwhelmed, and I think it is okay to take some breaks to recharge, such as walking in the parks to take a breather. rooting for you, OP!
