What should I do if I feel depressed every day and exhausted both physically and mentally?

Good day, My name is Chen Xiaobin, a licensed therapist. I am contacting you today to discuss an issue you have raised.

From your correspondence, it appears that you are experiencing some degree of discomfort at this juncture. I am curious as to the duration of this condition.

If you are experiencing depressive symptoms on a daily basis and feeling exhausted, you are encouraged to describe this feeling, which is also a positive indicator. Please express the current state you are in. Have you recently encountered any circumstances that are different from what you have experienced in the past and are causing you to feel this way?

Due to the limitations of the information provided, I am unable to offer any further advice regarding specific actions.

The fact that you were able to type out this text on the platform is a significant achievement. It allows you to express your feelings in a constructive manner. When feelings are expressed, it provides clarity and insight.

There are numerous professional resources available to you, which is an excellent form of social support. When you feel depressed, remember that you have the support of many people around you. Additionally, you are not alone in experiencing this challenge, as many others are facing similar difficulties.

From your description, it appears that your daily routine is somewhat irregular. Regularity in one's daily activities has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety. I am curious if there is an activity, either a hobby or otherwise, that you can perform at the same time each day.

As an example, I find it beneficial to engage in mindfulness meditation at the same time each day. This simple action provides a sense of stability in the midst of change. You may wish to explore whether there are activities you can incorporate into your daily routine.

If you are experiencing fatigue or depressive symptoms, it is recommended that you prioritize rest, adjust your expectations, practice self-compassion, and prioritize self-care. If you are seriously considering professional assistance, we encourage you to explore that option.

I hope you can allow yourself to experience a degree of low mood without feeling pressured to move out of a depressed state.

Depression may be a signal that our thinking patterns, lifestyles, work pressures, or other aspects require adjustment. This is not a negative occurrence, akin to a phone with low battery power reminding us that it needs to be charged. It is important for individuals to take time for rest and replenishment of energy.

We hope you will find more peace in your everyday life.

Hello, my friend. I can feel your exhaustion and helplessness between the lines, but I'm here to give you a friendly hug and a big thumbs-up for promptly identifying your own problems and actively seeking solutions.

First, the moon has its waxing and waning, and people are the same. We all need to slow down and take a break sometimes, especially when we're tired. A short pause is for a better forward movement! So please take a deep breath, close your eyes, give yourself a holiday, reminisce about the good old days, and imagine yourself in the future, allowing yourself to bask in the memories and expectations.

Second, it's really important to have a regular routine, stay away from electronic products, go out of the house, integrate into society and nature, find a couple of good friends, go on a spontaneous weekend trip to the countryside together, fall in love with a sport, participate regularly, develop a lifelong sporting awareness, and protect your study life.

Third, in work and life, people need a driving force that comes from the heart. This driving force can be oneself, one's parents, one's future family, one's children, and life. With a driving force that comes from the heart, all suffering will be a shortcut to success.

Don't worry, my friend. You might feel a little lost and even depressed right now, but you're not alone. Many people who love you are with you, communicating with you with love and care. They're looking forward to and believe that through your hard work, your life will get better and better. You've got this!

Hello, landlord! I really hope my answer can be of some help to you.

After reading the landlord's description, I can tell you're feeling more stressed during the week. It's totally normal to feel this way! But it's also important to recognize when you're feeling stressed and find ways to release your emotions and relieve your stress. On the weekends, you just sleep and watch TikTok, which can make us feel like there's not much meaning in life. But we all need to create some fun in life, relieve some of our stress, and take care of our own feelings.

I hope this advice helps!

Dealing with stress

It's true that some people find this really stressful, while others don't even think about it.

The famous American psychologist Lazarus has a really interesting take on stress. He believes that stress is actually our entire response to events that we perceive. And this response is determined and completed through our cognitive evaluation.

In other words, how much stress we experience depends on how we perceive and evaluate what is happening.

Our cognitive evaluation of events is divided into two aspects:

1. It's totally normal to feel this way! We all have those moments where we wonder, "What does this matter have to do with me? What demands does it place on me?"

I just want to check in and see if you've thought about the potential benefits and dangers of this?

2. Let's take a moment to assess your internal resources. Have you encountered anything similar before? Do you feel like you have sufficient ability to deal with this matter?

If you feel like you can handle it, then you're already over the emotional impact of this external event. If you don't feel like you can handle it, then we'll feel pressure and experience negative emotions like helplessness and anxiety.

For example, the year before last, I was lucky enough to be given the responsibility of editing and publishing the WeChat account of our wonderful Psychological Counselor Association. When I evaluated this event, I was really happy to find that the leaders of the association attached great importance to the work of the public account, so assigning me such an important task shows that she trusts me. Moreover, by editing the public account, I can exercise my abilities in many areas, which is a great opportunity for me. Then, I need to do a good job, and I'm excited to get started!

Then, I took a moment to evaluate my own abilities. Do I have sufficient abilities and resources to cope with this work? I'm happy to say that I have previous experience! I previously worked as an associate editor of our college journal at university, mainly responsible for editing the journal. I also love to write, so I can put this advantage to good use when editing the public account. I have some friends who have more experience in editing public accounts, and I can ask them for help if I need it!

When I think about it this way, I feel so much less stressed!

But if I think about it the other way around, I've never written a public account before, so I'm not sure how to format it. I don't know many of the skills required to edit a new media account, and editing a public account will take up a lot of my time, which I just don't have right now.

I totally get it. I feel stressed too, and I know the negative emotions and feelings that follow.

Have you ever noticed that how we perceive and evaluate external events and our own abilities to cope with them can make stress feel very personal? It's like our stress levels are a reflection of how we think about things.

It's totally normal to feel stressed sometimes! We all have different ways of thinking and feeling, and that's okay. Sometimes, it can feel like the demands of a situation are too much for us to handle. This can happen when we have high expectations or when we feel like we're facing challenges that are bigger than we can handle on our own.

It's so common to feel stressed when we think about how much we have to do and how little time we have to do it in. It's often because we're worrying about the event itself and also our own expectations.

Let's say, for example, that your boss says you'll be docked a pay cut if you don't do your job well, your teacher says you need to retake the exam if you fail, your family expects you to bring honor to the family name, or your friends expect you to help them out when they're in trouble. These are all external requirements.

Let's say, for instance, that your boss says you'll be docked a pay cut if you don't do your work well, or that your teacher says anyone who fails will have to retake the exam. Or maybe it's your family who's putting pressure on you to bring honor to the family name, or your friends who're expecting you to help them out when they're in trouble. These are all external requirements.

We all have those moments when we feel like we have to get things done right, or our boss won't be happy with us. Or when we feel like we didn't do well on an exam, and we're worried our classmates will think less of us. Or when we're afraid of letting our family down. Or when we're worried about making our friends angry. These are all things we put on ourselves.

We all have those moments when we feel like we have to get things done perfectly, or our boss won't be happy with us. Or when we feel like we didn't do well on an exam, and we're worried our classmates will think less of us. Or when we're afraid of letting our family down. Or when we're worried about making our friends angry. These are all the demands we place on ourselves.

So, when we don't really know what we need to do, or even have a tendency towards perfectionism, it can lead to cognitive deficiencies or distortions, which in turn cause us a lot of additional stress.

So, when we don't have a clear understanding of what we need to do and we're perfectionists, it can lead to stress.

We can't change the external environment, but the good news is that we can control our own perceptions! When we know the reasons that cause us stress, we can slowly adjust ourselves to better deal with it.

We can't change the external environment, but the good news is that we can control our own perceptions! When we know the causes of our stress, we can slowly adjust ourselves to better deal with it.

2. You can definitely find some great ways to relieve your stress!

When we're feeling tired and uncomfortable, it's important to let go of those inner feelings. There are so many ways to release our emotions and stress! Here are a few methods I think you'll find really helpful:

You can find the right friends to chat with, whether they are in the same city as you or not.

As social beings, we all need human relationships. But we need supportive human relationships, not ones that drain us. So, it's really important to find people who can understand you and support you to socialize. The other day, a friend of mine called me and said that he doesn't even need to hear my voice. Just thinking about the way I look, he would feel happy and relaxed.

So, don't worry about upsetting them. You can find them, and they'll be really happy because they'll feel valued and important.

You can also set aside some time every day to write in your mood diary. This is a great way to find a quiet and safe space to spend some time alone with yourself.

Use a pen and paper to write down your inner feelings and thoughts as much as you like. It doesn't matter if your handwriting is messy or if you don't worry about making it logical. Just let your feelings out as much as you like. This writing process is a way of letting go of your emotions.

When you can regularly express your emotions and feelings in writing, you'll find that your emotions will become more and more stable, my friend.

3. Have some fun in your life and get your mojo back!

You know what? Life is actually full of fun and joy! When you're feeling down, it's easy to miss all the good things around you. But when you can lift your spirits, you'll find that you feel completely differently about the same world.

I know exactly what you mean! There was a time when I was also rather boring and low-spirited. I spent every day at home watching the children and doing the housework, rarely going out to see the sky and flowers and trees outside. They had almost disappeared from my world, so I felt so boring every day, because every day was full of the trivialities of life, without a bit of fun. But later, through a series of growth and adjustments, my emotional state became better, and my whole state of mind changed.

Even just a little bit of time spent on the balcony, whether it's during the day looking at the clouds or at night feeling the night breeze and watching the moon rise, makes me feel so beautiful and relaxed. It's all worth it!

One great way to do this is to start recording three good things in your life every day. This will help you focus on all the wonderful things in your life. It's so much fun if you can do this with some friends, so that you can create good things together and make life more fun!

I'm so excited to share with you how you can do this! Every day, find three good things in your life and write them down. Just record each event in one sentence (you can write more if you want), and you can also add a sentence of thanks to upgrade it to a grateful event.

It's so important to record what makes you happy in life, and what you have done, whether it is something small like calling a good friend, or something big like passing an exam. And remember, whoever is worth thanking, you can thank yourself, your family, friends, nature...

It's so important to record the things in life that make you happy, and the things you have done, whether it is something small like calling a good friend or something big like passing an exam. And remember, whoever is worth thanking, you can thank yourself, your family, your friends, nature...

While you're writing, really feel the feelings this event brings you. After you've written, you can share it with your family, friends, or even strangers. You can even invite your family and friends to take part together!

I really hope this is helpful for you! Wishing you all the best!

I really hope this is helpful for you! Wishing you all the best!

Hello!

I can totally relate! You feel tired inside and can't muster the energy.

Two years ago, I shared a video on TikTok that said not to abandon your cat. Unfortunately, it was later exposed online, so I stopped using the app.

It might be helpful for the questioner to consider whether there's a particular atmosphere on TikTok that's not a good fit for them.

I really think you'd enjoy improving your sense of humor with mobile phone videos! Have you heard of Wong Chi-wah's stand-up comedy? I think you'd love it!

There's lots of reflection on social phenomena, and the banter may also help ease the difficulty of interpersonal relationships at work.

You said you're not feeling motivated to work, study, or socialize, and it seems like you're not quite ready to enjoy some good, quality solitude.

Reading is connected to socializing, and it seems that reading some reference books is to use the knowledge in them to put it to practical use in real life as soon as possible.

Sometimes, you just want to get things done efficiently.

If you have a holiday, why not treat yourself to some time in nature, curl up with a good book, make yourself a cup of tea, and spend the weekend eating simple, delicious meals?

It's so important to remember that you still have to come back to reality, and to be ready for that. It's all part of the process of self-cultivation through travel.

If you're still struggling with some inner conflict, it can really hurt. It might help to chat with a counselor. They can help you understand your needs, face your true self, and embrace a renewed sense of self.

Hello, question asker! My name is Evan, and I'm excited to help you!

From the questioner's own description, we can see that they feel depressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and even have some physical adverse reactions when dealing with work and interpersonal relationships. This is especially obvious when faced with their own work arrangements. They even feel unmotivated on weekends. I wonder when this situation started?

It's important to know that depression is common when certain things are repeated every day or when one does not know the purpose of life. The questioner's negative emotions have affected their health. Can we say that they are dissatisfied with and dislike their work?

And give the questioner a little boost by giving them a heartfelt pat on the shoulder. When did this situation start?

Before those pesky physical reactions like chest tightness and headaches set in, what kind of event did the questioner experience that was harmful to them or that they felt was unreasonable? This event caused a series of subsequent adverse physical reactions in the questioner, and it is possible that this event caused it, or it could be that the questioner is afraid of some consequences.

It seems that the questioner has a resistant attitude towards their current work, but the good news is that the questioner does not have the ability to change these circumstances. Over time, these things have triggered the questioner's negative emotions, which is something we can change! These negative emotions are disturbing the questioner, causing various adverse physical manifestations.

Learn how to detect and eliminate negative emotions and replace them with a positive mindset! What cannot defeat you will definitely make you more courageous in the face of difficulties in the future.

Since the question was asked on a platform, we unfortunately can't communicate in detail about it. But don't worry! I can still give you some great advice on how to deal with the negative emotions that arise:

Let's find out what the root cause of the negative reaction is!

Let's dig deeper! What caused this negative reaction? Is it the concern about work, or is it the person who assigned the work to the questioner, or is it the work arrangement of the entire department that caused the questioner to have these negative reactions, such as depression?

This is an exciting step! It requires the questioner to search for and perceive what exactly is affecting them to produce such a reaction. Then, they can record it on paper.

Now for the fun part! It's time to identify what makes the subject depressed and negative. Once we know that, we can figure out what the root cause of the negative emotions is. For example, the subject might feel that their education level is low in the department. Or, they might be new to the department and feeling a bit suppressed by the leader.

The questioner said that he would react with nausea when faced with the work arranged by the department. Why is this so? Does the questioner feel that there is something unreasonable about the work of the department? If so, he can absolutely speak up! He is a valuable member of the team and has valuable insights to contribute. Is the questioner worried that someone else's work arrangements will be assigned to him, but he often fails to do a good job, which causes serious anxiety? If so, he can absolutely work on his weaknesses and become an even better employee!

What is the main cause of the questioner's adverse reactions? It's so important to figure out the root cause of their real anxiety so that the questioner can come up with a coping strategy based on their concerns.

You can absolutely solve your own problems!

Once you've identified the root cause of your negative emotions, it's time to turn that frown upside down! See if you can find a solution to the problem. For instance, if you feel overwhelmed by your workload, you can learn how to manage your time more efficiently at work.

The four-象 work method is a fantastic way to divide work into four quadrants: important and urgent, important but not urgent, unimportant but urgent, and unimportant and not urgent. This method is a great way to improve work efficiency! Once you've done that, you can then see if your adverse reactions have been reduced. And don't forget that there are always more ways than difficulties!

When you're feeling down, don't dwell on your negative emotions or talk about them. Instead, focus on the positive! If you do this for a long time, you'll get used to it and your mindset will change.

Now for the fun part! It's time to list the worst possible outcomes.

Now for the big question: What is the worst possible outcome? And what is the worst possible outcome for the questioner? Write them all down and see if you have any coping strategies or if you really can't accept them.

Instead of worrying about this and that, let's list these worst-case scenarios and come up with a strategy to deal with them early on! For example, what will happen if you can't do your job well? When it really happens, you will be able to deal with it according to the strategy, so you'll be able to conquer your anxiety!

It's so important to remember that there are always more solutions than problems! Our ancestors were absolutely right when they said to discover problems early and take precautions.

Be aware of your own verbal habits and make a conscious effort to switch them up!

It's totally normal to feel annoyed or frustrated when things don't go our way. But when we let these negative emotions take over, they can really drag us down. Instead, try to focus on the positive! Even if you feel like you've messed up, there's always room for improvement.

The person asking the question should avoid using such words. In order to help you turn negative emotions into a positive side, replace these negative words with positive thoughts and praise. For example, replace "terrible" with "unfortunate" or "there is room for improvement" and "disaster" with "challenge" or "inconvenience."

Look for the positive!

Nothing is perfect, and no matter how capable someone is, they can't be perfect. So don't demand perfection from yourself! Allow yourself to make mistakes at work. Once you find yourself dwelling on negative or negative emotions, stop immediately and think of something positive instead.

For example, a game has been lost. This is unpleasant in itself, but it's also an opportunity to learn new methods so that you can avoid making the same mistakes in future games!

Seek help!

If you feel that the above methods don't work for you, don't worry! There are plenty of other options out there. You can actively seek external help and psychological intervention from a professional psychologist or counselor. These professionals are there to help you, so don't be afraid to speak up about your negative emotions. You can speak boldly and confidently because these interventions are confidential, so you should be honest.

Let's dive deep into how these anxiety attacks make you feel, how they usually start, and how you respond. If necessary, we can maintain ongoing communication with these professionals until these anxiety attacks no longer affect you.

I really hope my answer helps the questioner!

Good morning,

Host:

My name is Zeng Chen, and I'm a mindfulness coach. I've taken the time to read the post carefully, and I can sense the depression in the content.

At the same time, I also noticed that the host has courageously shared his own struggles and actively sought help on the platform, which will undoubtedly help the host to better understand and recognize himself, so as to adjust and encounter a better self.

I hope that by sharing my observations and thoughts from the post, I can help the poster to view themselves from a more diverse perspective.

1. It might be helpful to try to express your emotions in a reasonable way.

In the post, I have observed that the host mentioned that every day you feel depressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and don't want to deal with the pressure of interpersonal relationships and work. I feel stuffy in my chest, my head is a bit heavy, and if someone annoys me, the situation will get worse, and I will get a headache. This situation is especially obvious during the weekdays, and I am also very low-spirited during the weekends.

From this information, it seems that the original poster mentioned some physical manifestations of their body. From a psychological point of view, it may be helpful to consider that symptoms on our bodies are not always solely due to organic lesions.

Many of the symptoms are related to our emotions. It is often the case that we repress our emotions and do not express them in a reasonable way.

It is possible that at this time, emotions may seek physical expression.

At this time, we may be able to try to express our emotions in a reasonable manner. We can keep an emotional diary, writing down our feelings, thoughts, etc., and also have some exploratory conversations, asking ourselves why we have these emotions.

It can be challenging to identify the root cause of fatigue. Initially, it's not always easy to pinpoint the reason.

With practice, this kind of exercise can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. Writing can also be a useful tool for processing our emotions and listening to them in a constructive manner.

In this way, we can find relief from our emotions. Just as when we talk to someone and they listen to us and understand us, we can feel better.

2. You might like to try connecting with your body.

In the post, it was observed that the poster mentioned feeling stuffy in the chest, a little heavy in the head, and sometimes headaches. These symptoms were also mentioned above, except for organic lesions.

It is often the case that emotions have not been expressed properly. At this time, we may be able to use these symptoms of the body to explore our emotions and the needs behind them.

One way to explore this further might be to try to connect with our body, focus some of our attention on the part of our body that is uncomfortable, and stay with that part of our body for a while. This can often help to relieve our emotions to some extent. We can even imagine that if this part could express itself, what would it express, what would it want to say?

This approach may help us gain insight into our needs and better understand ourselves. It can also help us understand why we are the way we are.

Once the root cause is identified, it often paves the way for a solution.

3. I would like to briefly discuss depression.

In the post, the host mentioned his depression. I'm curious to know your thoughts on what depression means to you.

Given the many different ways in which depression can be understood, due to differences in upbringing, education, etc., I will share my understanding of depression here, in the hope that it may help the original poster to view the issue from a different perspective.

Depression can perhaps be understood as a prolonged state of self-negation and self-attack. It may be helpful to view this as if there is an "instructor" in your mind.

It might be said that we are constantly in a state of self-negation, hating one aspect of ourselves in our minds while rejecting another. Such self-negation and attacks could potentially lead to depression.

If we take the time to understand depression, we can adjust ourselves accordingly.

At this time, it may be helpful to consider why we attack ourselves and to reflect on our own growth experiences, which are often related to this. At the same time, we might also benefit from learning to forgive ourselves and to stop attacking ourselves.

It is worth noting that self-attack and self-negation can result in a significant depletion of internal energy, which may ultimately lead to feelings of fatigue.

If we continue to attack ourselves, we will eventually reach a point where we have no energy left to do anything else. By stopping this self-attacking, we can regain strength and explore and understand ourselves better.

I hope that this has been of some help and inspiration to you. If you have any questions, you are welcome to click on Find a Coach to communicate with a coach one-on-one.

This may assist the host in delving more profoundly into your own thoughts and feelings. As with any Q&A format, there are inherent limitations to this approach.

Hello! I'm counselor Wheat.

Your description shows you are stressed, powerless, and anxious. I'm curious about your beliefs that allow you to work under pressure.

You still go to work despite the difficulties, so there must be a reason for you to persevere.

You want to change the situation!

Look at your situation.

When did you stop wanting to deal with people?

Is it because of something that happened? Find out!

Do you really not want to deal with people? Or do you not want to deal with some people, and what distress do they cause you?

How do you handle it? How do you see your relationships?

2. Tired, stuffy chest, heavy head.

How long has this been going on? How's your sleep? Have you been staying up late? Are you eating regularly? Has your workload increased?

Check your habits. Bad eating and sleeping habits make your body feel uncomfortable. Adjust your work and rest schedule and eat regularly.

3. On weekends, you sleep late, scroll through WeChat, and just hang out. You don't have a sense of direction.

You're like a boat without a destination. You're not moving forward, you're just drifting. You'll get seasick if you don't find a direction or motivation to move forward.

Here are some suggestions for you!

Adjust your work and rest schedule, get enough sleep, and try it!

Psychological aspects: anxiety, panic, and unwillingness to socialize. Make a basic household plan, cook a meal, and read books.

Doing something will help. You'll feel better.

The questioner seems to be doing well overall, but they seem to be experiencing some depressive emotions at the moment.

How long has the questioner been in this state? Has the questioner visited a hospital? It's important to know whether the questioner is currently experiencing depressed mood or depression. They're two different concepts. Depressed mood is just a mood state, while depression is a type of neurosis.

So, it would be a good idea for the questioner to go to the neurology or psychiatric department of a hospital to see if it is a neurosis.

What was the first thing that caused you to worry, feel anxious, or even experience depression? You can ask yourself about these things and become aware of any negative thinking that is affecting you.

Make a note of everything.

Here are some ways to relieve your current emotional state:

1. Accept your current situation and don't fight it!

2. Try getting up early every morning and going for a half-hour run, or dancing for half an hour.

3. Try to develop more interests and hobbies, and practice them every day.

4. Get out there and make friends who will accept and embrace you.

5. If you can, try to meditate for ten minutes every day with a guided audio.

Depression isn't the problem. It's our attitude towards it. Having a goal and practising it every day will give you more positive energy. When you have enough positive energy, you will feel empowered, your whole body and mind will feel comfortable, and your negative emotions will become less and less!

If you're struggling to find a solution, you can also seek the guidance of a counselor to help you navigate the situation. Best of luck!

Hello, dear question asker!

It's tough to give advice on your mental state in just a short description of less than 200 words. But I really hope I can help you see a few possibilities when you feel a loss of interest in everything.

[Seeking help is a positive attitude]

[Seeking help is a positive attitude]

It seems like you've lost motivation for work and a lot of things in life. You feel like lying down, but you're not sure if you should. You've gone online to seek help because there's still a part of you that wants you to pull yourself together. If that's the case, it might help to think about when this feeling of depression and tiredness started. Was it a month ago, three months ago, half a year ago, or even longer?

I'm wondering if something important happened in your life when you first felt this way. Do you think there were times when you felt slightly better, despite the low mood and lack of interest?

If you can see these changes in yourself more clearly, you may be able to find a more suitable way to help yourself out of your predicament. I'm here for you, and I'm sending you lots of love and support!

[It is enough to change 5% of yourself]

[It is enough to change 5% of yourself.]

I'd like to recommend a book to you, if I may. It's called "5% Change," and it was written by a personal counselor I really like, Li Songwei. Sometimes, we get stuck trying to change ourselves completely, and I think this book can help you.

However, if you really want to change yourself 100%, it means 100% rejection of the current self. It can be so painful to rebuild the current self from scratch that almost no one can do it. But remember, no matter how bad the current self may seem, there are always many valuable things that support us to this day.

So, there's absolutely no need to change yourself so much! Just take a small step, break away from inertia and the deadlock, and let your life energy flow.

[A small step is a small step]

We know that when we say "start with a small step," it can feel like a big ask. You've mentioned relationships and work stress, both of which are biggies. But we're here to help! We can start by breaking down the goal and turning long-term expectations into practical, achievable steps.

For example, relationships can be divided into relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Choose a direction that you feel comfortable starting with, and the goal is to gain confidence in interpersonal relationships and emotional support from others. A small step is to take 15 minutes to sit at a table, take out a piece of paper and pen, and write down the names of your usual contacts, dividing them into three levels according to their degree of intimacy. After you finish, you can end this small step. You don't need to spend too much time on it, and don't let yourself do too much at once. After a day or two, you can decide what the next small step is.

Take your time and go at your own pace.

I really hope the original poster will let their vitality flow and live freely!

Hello!

I'm not sure how long this has been going on for you.

If it lasts for more than two weeks and is the same every day, with no breaks or improvement, it's probably a good idea to see a psychologist.

On top of the lack of mental energy caused by physical discomfort, emotional distress can also affect motivation and critical thinking.

If you're feeling down, not wanting to do anything, and losing interest in everything, it could be a sign of depression.

Depression can be short-lived, lasting about three to five days, after which the mood improves.

There are also long-lasting forms of depression.

Depression can range from mild to severe.

Mild depression can be handled on your own, but moderate and severe depression require professional psychological intervention.

It seems like the stress you're experiencing at work and in your personal life is causing some pretty negative physical and mental effects.

Maybe you've been hit by something, like a heavy workload, a bad workplace atmosphere, or something else you can't handle. You're mentally and physically tired and want to escape.

This is pretty common when you first start working.

You're not used to the new environment and the changes in personnel, so you're unfamiliar with the work, unable to quickly integrate into the group, and even feel ignored, excluded, and suppressed. You feel unappreciated and unrecognized, develop a low sense of self-worth and self-doubt, and thus avoid and withdraw.

If these issues aren't related to a new job, it's possible that something significant has happened that's caused you to feel down.

I get a tight feeling in my chest and my head feels a little heavy. If someone annoys me, it makes it worse and I get a headache.

The above symptoms are caused by emotional physical symptoms.

If we can't express our feelings, they can build up inside and cause physical symptoms like chest tightness, palpitations, dizziness, and headaches.

Your symptoms seem to be more pronounced on weekdays, which may be because that environment is the source of the problem and you can't relax there.

I'm not in the mood to do anything at the weekend because I've lost my motivation.

To avoid jumping to conclusions, I'd need more info, like your age, gender, job type, how long you've been in your role, what's been going on at work recently, how long this has been going on, and how you were brought up.

Even if you don't want to do anything, you feel stressed at work and don't want to deal with interpersonal relationships, you can still persevere and have not completely lost your social functions. So, if you solve the problems at work and in interpersonal relationships, or re-examine and face them from a psychological perspective, you may be able to adjust quickly.

To get a clearer answer, you'll need to gather more information to treat the symptoms.

As I mentioned earlier,

I'm Yan Guilai, your friendly neighborhood psychologist. Wishing you well!

From the original poster's statements, it is evident that they are experiencing distress. I appreciate their trust in me and hope that my response is beneficial.

First and foremost, I have previously experienced a similar situation, wherein I was overwhelmed by physical and mental exhaustion. It is imperative not to prolong this state by forcing oneself to endure it.

It is recommended that you speak with a trusted individual. The act of listening to another person can provide a sense of strength and support.

In the absence of these measures, it is recommended that you relax and engage in leisure activities.

In the event that all available methods for regulating one's emotions have been attempted and have proven ineffective,

Should the necessary resources be available, it is recommended that professional assistance be sought.

In conclusion, it is imperative to devote greater attention to one's own psychological well-being.

In the event that one is disinclined to pursue professional assistance, it is nevertheless recommended to prioritize self-regulation of one's psychological state.

The following methods may be employed to maintain peace of mind: 1. Meditation, preferably in a quiet, private space, alone. 2. Engagement with the natural environment. 3. Listening to music that evokes a positive emotional response. 4. Reading a book that provides intellectual stimulation.

I recommend perusing the following literature, which I have found to be of considerable benefit. It is perhaps inevitable that one will experience suffering; it is, however, a catalyst for growth. This may be an opportunity for you to grow.

1. Zhang Defen's "Meeting the Unknown Self" is a novel that explores the theme of spiritual practice and the process of learning to live with oneself.

2. Brené Brown, Daring to Lead: The capacity for courage is essential for individuals to be able to reveal themselves fully, and the text primarily concerns the acceptance of one's own imperfections from a different perspective.

3. Kishimi Ichirō and Furutsuki Shiken, "The Courage to Be Disliked": The entire book is a dialogue between a wise man and a young man seeking advice, mainly for self-inspiration.

These styles are distinct, and readers are encouraged to select the book that aligns with their preferences.

In conclusion, it is recommended that one adopt the belief that circumstances will eventually improve, and that the world is a benevolent place.

Hello, question asker!

I think a lot of people can relate to what you're going through.

I think a lot of people have been in a similar situation to what you've described.

I'm feeling pretty exhausted, and I'm not really interested in anything right now.

I'd love to chat with you for your reference.

1. Think about what these emotions are trying to tell us.

Emotions are like messengers. When you feel depressed and tired, it's like your body is saying, "Hey, we're having a rough time and can't find a way out for the time being."

That we're facing some challenges and haven't yet found a solution.

We're facing some challenges and haven't found a solution yet.

Are we feeling stressed and in need of a break?

Do you ever feel stressed and want to take a break?

Depression and fatigue are basically just ways of protecting ourselves.

And give yourself a chance to handle it all.

We do think this approach could be improved, though.

You can go about your work, living, and resting as usual, but you just feel tired.

So, the big question is whether we feel stressed at work.

Are you tired of socializing at work?

Apart from taking a quick break, are there any better ways to cope?

Mental fatigue is another thing to consider, as well as physical fatigue.

It's when you're tired because you're not using your muscles much, but you're also tense and bored at work.

On top of that, negative emotions can make us feel lethargic and unmotivated.

So, we can start by figuring out what emotions we're dealing with.

2. Respond more positively.

Depression is a state of mind, similar to how a fever affects our body.

There are lots of reasons why we get fevers.

"My chest feels tight, my head feels a bit heavy, and if someone annoys me, it gets even worse." Have you ever felt a little better?

I'm curious about your line of work.

Have you ever considered what might make someone upset you?

Do you talk to your colleagues about how you're feeling?

Do you ask for what you want?

Or do you just wallow in self-pity?

A lot of pain comes from interpersonal relationships.

In your personal or professional life, is there someone you have a somewhat closer relationship with?

If so, talking about your concerns can sometimes help you move forward.

How are you sleeping?

Do you get enough exercise?

If you want to get out of this situation, you can also make some small changes.

For instance, you could try not being too hard on yourself, exercising regularly, or listening to meditation music, for example.

When you're feeling stressed at work, it can help to ask others how they cope with it.

It's not uncommon for us to also put pressure on ourselves, on top of dealing with external stressors.

For instance, we should learn to accept that we won't always meet our own high standards.

That should help reduce stress a bit.

Keep an eye out for exceptions.

For instance, was there a time during the past month when you felt somewhat better? What happened during that time?

If we focus on the good stuff, we're more likely to feel positive.

If you feel like you're at your limit, you can also check in on whether your current workload is too much for you.

If it needs to be adjusted, it might be worth considering some proper rest.

If you've been feeling depressed for a while and have lost your joy and hope, you can also see a doctor to see if you need medical help.

I'd like to share with you a fragment of Hellinger's poem:

I let myself feel whatever I'm feeling, and then I let it go.

I know that emotions are just physical sensations, and there's no inherent good or bad.

The more I push back, the more intense it becomes.

If I think I shouldn't have these emotions,

It's only me who gets hurt.

The only thing I can do is give myself permission to allow.

I accept myself for who I am.

If you're interested, you can check out the book, The Terrific Me.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Good day. My name is Yiyan Tree (also known as Yiran), and I am a coach specializing in heart exploration. I am available to assist you.

After reading your post, I empathize with your situation. I have previously experienced a similar state, during which I was persistently in a low mood, akin to the OP's description. This period was characterized by a lack of interest in relationships and work, accompanied by profound physical exhaustion. It was as if I were driven by an overwhelming desire to succumb to sleep, devoid of motivation and interest in engaging with others.

Upon emerging from this experience, it became evident that the underlying cause of this condition is an overdraft of the body and mind.

Typically, when individuals engage in work activities, they are performing a "social function," which can be defined as actions that are perceived as obligatory.

The majority of interpersonal relationships in the workplace are not ones that we genuinely enjoy. It is not possible to express our true emotions when dealing with colleagues, supervisors, and clients; instead, we must communicate in a business-like manner. When this is combined with the inherent stress of the workplace, it is not uncommon to experience a strong sense of anxiety. If one is unable to adjust flexibly on their own, the subconscious mind will automatically trigger depressive emotions, which will result in the suspension of those social functions that consume one's time and energy, thereby preventing further consumption and depletion. This is the reason why one may currently feel unable to muster any enthusiasm for work, studying, or socializing.

Indeed, depressive moods serve as an alert, indicating that the body and mind are experiencing exhaustion and that greater self-attention and energy conservation are necessary.

If the questioner can accurately identify this depressive mood and value himself accordingly, he will benefit from it.

It is recommended that the OP engage in some restorative rest.

It is important to note that humans are not machines and that they cannot sustain high levels of exploitation indefinitely. Despite the demands of a busy workweek, rest and relaxation are essential for maintaining optimal well-being. It is likely that the questioner is not particularly attuned to his feelings and emotions, which hinders his ability to recognize and address fatigue. He may only become aware of his exhaustion when it reaches a critical point.

It is recommended that the questioner develop greater sensitivity to his emotions and energy levels. This will enable him to recognize the onset of fatigue and take appropriate measures, such as a break and relaxation, at an earlier stage, rather than waiting until the situation has reached a critical point.

Secondly, it is important to recognise that the need for rest and relaxation should not be subject to judgement. Contemporary society is characterised by a utilitarian outlook, shaped by the hardworking ethos of previous generations. This has led to a perception that rest and relaxation are incompatible with a sense of duty and obligation, particularly in the context of work. The tendency to persist in work beyond one's physical limits, coupled with the rapid pace of societal development and the intensity of work, has led to a situation where many individuals are working beyond their physical limits. This is a dangerous belief, as it leads to the neglect of physical and mental health without any awareness of the consequences. This ultimately results in a depletion of resources, with the body bearing the brunt of the burden. The cost of this is significant.

It is therefore recommended that individuals engage in activities that nourish themselves and facilitate self-repair outside of their professional roles.

It is my hope that the following suggestions will prove beneficial and facilitate a shift in perspective, enabling individuals to discern their genuine requirements, achieve a healthier work-life balance, and prioritize their personal needs. Best wishes for success!

Hello, I'm Jiang 61.

Thanks for trusting us and sharing your situation so we can help. We can also give you some tips to relieve your anxiety.

From what you've told me, it seems like your current physical condition isn't great, and you're feeling pretty depressed. I was wondering if something has happened recently.

I'd really like to be there for you, give you a shoulder to lean on, and help you take a break to relieve your tiredness. I care about you and I empathize with you.

1. Ask

You said you feel depressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed by stress at work and in your personal relationships every day.

How long has this been going on? If you can, please describe it.

You said you get a bit of a pressure in your chest, your head feels a bit heavy, and if someone annoys you, the situation will get worse and you'll get a headache. This is especially the case during the workday.

It's clear that you're dealing with a lot of discomfort, stress, and emotional issues. When you're at work, your headaches and chest tightness seem to get worse.

Have you seen a doctor recently?

You said you also feel pretty low on the weekends. You don't want to do much, you just sleep a lot, watch TikTok videos, and hang out. You feel like doing nothing, working, studying, or socializing.

From what you said, it seems like you're feeling pretty anxious, a bit out of breath, and like using TikTok and sleep to help you deal with these thoughts, relieve your stress, and forget your worries. Given your poor physical condition, you're not interested in doing anything else, including work, reading, or socializing.

2. Manage your emotions

Given your current physical state, you're not in a position to take on much. A more direct way to change things up is to release some pressure and regulate your emotions.

1. Jot down what you think might be causing your stress, anxiety, and negative feelings.

Stress at work is a common source of stress. We all have to interact with people and deal with things every day, which can be overwhelming and exhausting. Write down these negative feelings until you've expressed everything you're feeling.

2. Group your negative feelings and identify the root cause of your stress.

Jot down where these negative feelings are coming from. Is it work, life, relationships, family, or something else? Group these feelings, and identify the root cause of the emotions and stress.

3. Let go of your emotions and pressure.

Find a quiet spot where you won't be overheard and let it all out.

For example, you could say, "Hey, I don't want to talk to you right now. Just say whatever you want to say."

You can also just let it all out by crying, and then you can go back when you've had enough.

You might also want to try jogging, playing ball games, jumping rope, or going hiking. Exercise can help your body by boosting your metabolism, burning energy, stimulating dopamine secretion, and regulating your excitement.

If you release your emotions like this, you'll feel a lot better and your stress levels will drop.

4. Try mindfulness meditation.

Mindfulness meditation can help you relax and get a good night's sleep.

3. Get some professional help.

Based on your physical condition and the emotional adjustments we discussed, I think you should also seek professional help to address your depression, anxiety, and other issues.

I think that after you make these changes, your outlook will improve.

Wishing you all the best!
