00:00:00.000 i've tried lex pro i've tried adderall i've tried no um ability we will try anything but meditation

00:00:08.400 what's going on guys welcome to my reaction series today we are going to be reacting to

00:00:13.840 a woman who said that she quit her corporate job and still feels burnt out of what what are

00:00:20.080 you burnt out of oh my god because genuinely i don't know if i know anybody else who feels this

00:00:27.520 way and if i do they do a good job of hiding it because i don't know but maybe someone can relate

00:00:34.560 because i just realized since quitting my job and getting another job that's way less stressful

00:00:45.680 and still feeling burnt out i'm thinking about it because i'm i'm thinking about you know how

00:00:52.720 how do I need to heal to where, you know, I feel better. And I'm trying to think back at what I did

00:00:58.700 the last time I was burnt out and what made me feel better the last time. And the more I'm

00:01:03.700 thinking about it, the more I'm like, I don't remember a time in my life where I wasn't burnt

00:01:10.300 out. And I'm thinking all the way back. Can you imagine if women had to do men's jobs,

00:01:15.240 like manual labor jobs? So she went to, I'm guessing Oxford, or she banged a guy that went 1.00

00:01:19.360 to oxford one or the other no british accent though so probably had sex with a british guy 1.00

00:01:23.840 um and now she worked in corporate america for a few years got burnt out i don't think women's 1.00

00:01:29.960 corporate jobs are as bad as they say i think women just complain about everything to high 0.92

00:01:36.960 school i don't remember a time where i wasn't so busy like and i think we got to stop believing it 1.00

00:01:46.780 when women say that right because women say they're burnt out when they do literally everything 0.98

00:01:52.020 sports we say we're burnt out motherhood we say we're burnt out like there's nothing that we do 1.00

00:01:57.760 and we don't feel burnt out and tightly wound up that the smallest thing would set me off

00:02:04.620 because that's that's how burnout manifests for me is i snap i snap at people i i cut an attitude

00:02:12.420 because i'm just so like going so fast i'm so overwhelmed so she wants it to not be poor

00:02:18.860 character like it can't be i snapped because i was pissed and i took it out on you it has to be

00:02:26.360 i snapped because i'm too busy and stressed and now when she doesn't have an excuse to blame her

00:02:32.960 job because she quit her um she quit everything or whatever she still feels that way and the demon

00:02:39.380 is in her and she wants to blame everyone else and then one thing is out of order and i just lose it

00:02:45.780 and you'd think that quitting you know eliminating the main stress in my life which was my old job

00:02:53.380 you would think that that would make me not feel like this and it helped you know i feel way way

00:03:01.220 way better since quitting my job but now that i have another job and now that that's you know

00:03:10.380 over with i've started you know i've started being more consistent on youtube i've been trying to

00:03:16.160 post videos every single week now i i was singing in choir i was taking tennis classes choirs done

00:03:22.540 for the season same with tennis and now i'm doing 75 hard which why did i start 75 hard

00:03:29.040 well I know why because my cousin started it and I wanted to do it with her but other than that

00:03:34.620 like I should I should not be doing that right now I should not be I should just be resting

00:03:40.040 but I can't because now there hasn't been a day where I could just sit and watch tv like

00:03:45.280 the new season of euphoria I've not had time to watch it at all we have to be doing something

00:03:51.680 it's like our worst trait even if it's useless things not I have not even turned on the first

00:03:57.120 episode because I don't have time to sit down and watch it because I'm busy from 4 30 in the morning

00:04:03.040 when I wake up to 10 o'clock at night when I go to sleep non-stop chill and be still we can't and

00:04:09.080 I do when we play on our phones myself but in my head I'm like there's no other choice because on

00:04:16.240 days you know when I think back on the days where I did just try to chill and lay in bed and watch

00:04:21.700 TV like that. I didn't, that didn't make me feel better. I just felt worse. I just felt

00:04:27.120 not. No, I did feel guilty. I think it was guilt that I felt. So I just know I'm the type of person

00:04:35.300 I love staying busy. I love activities. I love, I love. Yeah. And again, so this is going to prevent

00:04:41.780 her from finding a husband because if you fill your time with all these activities, there's no 0.98

00:04:45.860 room for a man um so yeah they they tell and that's what you tell young women to do right and 0.75

00:04:51.920 what women want to do is stay busy and do things i love doing things so for me recharging is not 0.96

00:05:00.720 laying in bed and doing nothing all day because that doesn't make me feel good either but also 0.83

00:05:06.400 i'm realizing recharging is not going on vacation and seeing friends because going out of town does

00:05:12.480 not feel like rest to me going into town feels like work and when I think about in February I

00:05:17.740 took four days off work took a long weekend and did nothing but hang out go to the gym work on

00:05:24.080 YouTube videos that's all I did the whole weekend I didn't feel ready to go back to work I didn't

00:05:29.900 feel rested I didn't feel better I mean I felt a little better because I was you know four days

00:05:35.720 I think women might feel better when we're just home and we're not going to all these things and

00:05:39.600 seeing all these people and we're just home it's not at work so then i think back at the last time

00:05:43.940 before that when i went on like a week-long vacation and you know i went to the beach with

00:05:48.960 family and after i got back i was in like a month-long depression because probably hung

00:05:55.540 out with your mother they'll send you into that i just knew that i needed more i you know or or

00:06:01.420 that you know i wasn't ready to come back to work and i wasn't you know i wasn't ready to

00:06:06.480 re-enter society I it it literally put me in a month-long depression and so I'm like what is

00:06:14.100 the solution here because I've considered getting a hotel room by myself for like three days and

00:06:22.040 just not leaving I've considered you guys should be happy you're not us like do you hear this

00:06:27.100 hamster wheel going mine goes too but it's just um we're just not happy people that

00:06:34.100 and that's feasible maybe within the next month or two but I just feel like one weekend or you

00:06:43.520 know one one break one vacation I feel like that's just not enough but then on the other side of it

00:06:50.080 I need to pay my bills so I can't I can't just quit my job and like you know go MIA for two

00:06:58.760 months and at this point i don't know what to do i mean realistically i know that i can't slow down

00:07:07.480 anytime soon because i'm getting married this year i've got a lot going on and you know me me and my

00:07:16.020 fiance just have a lot to do this year so i know like realistically i'm not gonna get a break till

00:07:21.180 2027 i just realistically and it's not fair but young women are told they need breaks when

00:07:28.560 And, I mean, you never got a break from the farm when you were, like, a serf.

00:07:32.620 It just was what it was. 0.99

00:07:34.240 Like, I promise to God, if we had to go spend a day in the life of the Amish, we would all be begging to come back. 1.00

00:07:40.940 Like, begging. 1.00

00:07:42.440 To me, because I don't want to feel this way anymore.

00:07:45.080 But it's also not fair to my family and my fiancé.

00:07:47.280 It's not fair to him because, you know, who's the one constantly seeing me when I'm at my last nerve and I'm about to snap?

00:07:54.600 Him.

00:07:54.960 and unfortunately i take a lot of my stress and my anxiety i take it out on him and that's not

00:08:03.120 fair i mean i don't want to be like that and i try not to and oh i've also i also forgot to

00:08:09.320 mention other things i've tried therapy therapy for 10 years i've been in therapy um medication

00:08:16.940 i've tried lexpro i've tried adderall i've tried no um ability we will try anything but meditation

00:08:26.120 i've tried all the antidepressants anti-anxiety adhd like i've tried it and i still feel this way

00:08:36.480 so i'm kind of at a loss maybe i'm just i know i'm let me see what the comments say

00:08:43.720 did nothing helped me gain a lot of perspective no phone no tv no books just sitting in silence

00:08:48.180 and doing nothing i do it for an hour and it's changed my life for the better this sounds less

00:08:52.520 like i need better time management more like your nervous system doesn't feel safe unless you're

00:08:57.260 doing something that's the exhausting part i try to not watch the news connect with nature all the

00:09:02.680 men see the women so funny even the comments it's like some mumbo jumbo but you're the exhausting

00:09:09.660 part is your nervous system the men have practical don't watch the news connect with nature go for a

00:09:15.940 drive get lots of sleep explain being stoic make mental effort to not let little things that don't

00:09:21.760 matter bother you remember that you have only a finite amount of time on this earth embrace being

00:09:26.840 alone only been away from my really stressful job that really sent me over the edge i've only been

00:09:31.440 away from that for a month and a half so maybe i'm just still needing some time to heal

00:09:37.020 but what does that say about me when the second that stress is over i add more stress on by

00:09:44.140 piling all the extracurriculars by starting 75 hard taking tennis class take you know singing and

00:09:51.140 you know going to the gym like i have to go to the gym like i have to stay in shape

00:09:56.420 but it takes up so much time so it's like what do you do how do you ask your fiance what to do

00:10:03.180 spouse at all this is why I'm like bro I cannot be a mom right now like I that's not like

00:10:11.140 possible right now I mean it's not like I was wanting to be a mom before this but

00:10:16.020 I just I'm like I'm not ready to have kids I feel like I mean I know I'm making the right

00:10:24.200 decision getting married I want to get married I want to be married to my fiance but it's like

00:10:28.480 am i even ready to be a wife because i feel like i just don't have it together

00:10:33.520 but i'm gonna figure it out and when i do i'm gonna tell you guys when i figure it out

00:10:41.520 i'm gonna tell you guys and i'm gonna crack the code maybe i need to find a good book to read
