I’m emotionally exhausted. For weeks and months I’ve been under pressure nonstop.. finals, school ending, fear of the future, worrying about careers, a new school, friendships changing, my habits, religion, my body, everything at once. I kept pushing through it without really recovering, and now my brain and body are overloaded. That’s why I’m: crying easily, getting angry over tiny things, overwhelmed by normal tasks, isolating myself from people, overthinking constantly, feeling numb sometimes and emotional other times, struggling with urges more when I’m stressed or exhausted, feeling like everything is “too much”. I’m also grieving a chapter of my life ending. Even though I wanted the school year to finish because it stressed me out, it was still familiar and important to me. Now that it’s actually over, part of me feels sad, scared, and not ready to move on yet. My nervous system is probably burnt out too: my sleep schedule has been messy
