Think burnout only happens at work? Think again.

Burnout can also come from code-switching, always needing to "be one", and carrying invisible stress that no one else sees. These hidden pressures take just as much energy or more than a heavy workload.

If you've been feeling drained, disconnected, or exhausted its not all in your head. These are the signs your mind and body are asking for rest and support.

Save this post as a reminder that burnout has many faces.

Did you notice Patrick on the new season of Love Is Blind struggling with racial and ethnic insecurity?

Many people carry the same quiet fear. Wondering if their race or ethnicity makes them "less desirable" or feeling pressure to hide parts of who they are.

This isn't about personal weakness. Racial and ethnic insecurity often comes from racism, colorism, and cultural stereotypes that leave people questioning their worth.

Healing starts with affirming your identity, finding safe and affirming spaces, and (when needed) working with a therapist to unpack internalized bias.

You are more than enough, exactly as you are.

Burnout isn't just about long work hours. For people navigating marginalized identities it shows up in deeper, heavier ways.

Emotional numbness, detachment from joy and identity-based exhaustion are signs that burnout has gone beyond workplace stress. Systemic pressures can make it feel unavoidable.

You don't have to push through it alone. Small steps can start to restore your energy.

Have you seen the recent wave on TikTok where people were convinced the rapture was about to happen?

For some, it was just a trend. But for others, the fear and urgency felt very real. When religious fears or beliefs become overwhelming, all-consuming, or disconnected from reality, it may be a sign or religious psychosis.

Religious psychosis can show up as hearing voices from a higher power, believing you are a prophet or chosen one, or interpreting random events as personal religious signs. These experiences go beyond faith. They cause distress, isolation, and disconnection from reality.

Understanding the signs of religious psychosis can help you support yourself or a loved one. Recognizing early symptoms is the first step towards compassionate care and healing.

If you or someone you love has been struggling after these recent rapture predictions, reaching out to a mental health professional can help bring grounding and clarity. You don't have to face it alone.

Have you ever been told you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional"?

Many of us were taught that showing emotions means weakness. The truth is, emotions are valuable pieces of information that help us navigate stress, relationships, and identity struggles. Suppressing them doesn't make them disappear, it only intensifies overthinking and burnout.

Emotional awareness is a very powerful tool for managing anxiety and reclaiming our mental health.
