What is harder admitting, “I am burned out” or actually asking for help?
Both feel heavy in different ways, and sometimes silence feels easier than vulnerability. But silence also keeps us stuck....!
Which one has felt more difficult for you?

I think admitting what actually is burning you out is the hardest thing. Having to fully understand what is going wrong

I feel like it's almost a badge of honor to say you're burned out. It's like a meme, kind of, or a joke. Actually asking for help is much harder and requires vulnerability.

Again, sometimes you got no option but to just ask for help regardless....

I had a hard time admitting I was burned out. I was falling apart but kept thinking I was holding it together better than I was. It finally got to the point where I realized how out of sync I'd really become. Once I realized where I was, and that the problem was real, seeking help was relatively easy.

I see! When we reach the extreme end , the only available option becomes the one which will solve the problem ASAP!

I’ve learned recently about some traumatic events that family members of mine have gone through but I had no idea had occurred. Besides my parents divorcing I really have not experienced that many hardships or trauma in my life. Sometimes it makes me worry if I’m due for something bad to happen, if the other shoe was going to drop at some point. I know hardships are a part of life and I feel like I have had far less than normal
