There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Someone didn’t pay the electric bills, or did not change the batteries.

Life is a never-ending rollercoaster that can offer us the highest highs and the lowest lows. But when the lows outnumber the highs, the ride is no longer exciting or enjoyable. Instead, we end up utterly drained on just about every level.

When we’re being sucked dry of all our mental and emotional strength, the effects manifest physically as well as spiritually. Unless we find a way to stop all our strength being sucked out of us, we can bleed out, energy- that is.

 One year of covid situation, losing our jobs, laid off, cutting our working hours, it put great strain on your financial and on your day to day work and on your family. It seems that there is no light in the end of the tunnel. I think someone didn’t pay the bill, or changed the battery.

Feeling fatigue and exhausted after a few days’ worth of partying or doing home renovation , fixing your car and the garage, but that kind of exhaustion can be remedied with a couple of nights’ worth of decent sleep. When you’re suffering from fatigue, it doesn’t matter if you sleep 30 hours a day or drink 20 coffees in the span of a few hours: you will still be tired to the very marrow in your bones.

Mentally drained is the worst kind of fatigue, thinking how to pay the bills and rent, how are you going to pay your kids schooling and put food on the table in the lousy government amount they pay while they force you to stay home.

When you’re dissatisfied at work, you may feel overwhelmed with depression and panic attacks, and that can also manifest as unbelievable exhaustion, There’s always a way to change your work circumstance to something you truly want to do: it just takes some planning, and courage, and some time as well But once you decide to make the change happen, you’ll have a goal to work towards, and you’ll find that your energy builds back up again because you can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Covid situation and losing jobs is causing millions of people to suffer from insomnia, thinking to find another job and travel or relocate, but where? Everywhere there are travel restriction, and similar Covid work situation.

Adding to the bone-weariness of fatigue, insomnia can be a horrible way that mental and emotional depletion can manifest, and that can lead to stress and depression.

You are so very, very tired, all the time, and all you want to do is sleep, but you can’t. Why? Because your thoughts are racing at top speed and you can’t break the loop. Just as you start to drift off, some worry will intrude and knock you back into wakefulness, so you can’t get that much-needed rest, which compounds the fatigue that’s already draining you dry.

Thinking of your partner who have to leave to find a job far away from home so you can pay the bill, your wife have to take extra night shifts somewhere and you need to take care of the kids and take the dog for a walk .

Some people will have heart palpitations from low-level anxiety, acid reflex and stomach upset, when they know that the boss is coming to talk to the workers to cut the hours and let some go. Mental fatigue can cause you chronic headache and joint pain. Emotional exhaustion will often manifest physically, perhaps unsurprisingly given how intricately our minds and bodies are linked.

This is especially true if you’re the sort of person who carries stress in your belly, or if you clench your muscles subconsciously to brace against whatever is hurting you. Are you walking on eggshells to avoid upsetting someone, like a megalomaniacal boss or emotionally unstable abusive partner?

Whatever the cause, you may experience physical symptoms such as TMJ from grinding your teeth, shoulder pain from hunching your shoulders, or intestinal issues, clenching your toes and twitching one of your eye. If you are at the point where you are get irritated for small things, that’s not a good sign.

When you’re depleted emotionally and mentally, your natural ability to handle things like normal, day-to-day stress or upset is shaved down to pretty much nothing, so the slightest thing can make you burst into anger, and cry. This covid situation is causing many people to be hypersensitive, and hyper emotional. For other people quite the opposite, it cause them withdrawal and detachment, Lost of hope, lack of feeling and they become numb.

Whatever it is that you’re dealing with has drained your light to the point where you literally can’t feel the emotions you’d normally feel when you encounter a situation or subject. There is no light in the end of the tunnel. You feel that God didn’t pay the electric bills, or his angels forgot to change the batteries at the end of this covid tunnel.

This is sort of like depression, only instead of feeling weighed down by emotion; you’re weighed down by the absence of feeling; Anhedonia is a type of emotional detachment that specifically prevents you from being able to feel joy or pleasure, and is a strong sign that you are dangerously depleted. I have been in this level once in my life when I left Iraq.

This covid strain on my job and income is bringing me closer to this level again. I started to get irritable and angry faster than before. I feel that this virus is robbing me my life and my income, I have to count the blessing of been healthy and a life as people telling me! While the responsible criminal who let this virus lose by their delay tactics (the Chinese communist party) getting richer by the minute, that make my anger goes to the roof to the level of rage.

You know you are getting to be like me when small things like the sound of your partner’s chewing or farting, gagging or doing tik tak, or a coworker never clean the microwave after using it, makes you want to throw the office microwave through a window. Instead of dealing with the source of what is actually draining you, you’re hypersensitive to the tiniest irritation.

That’s why we see so many divorces, so many splits, so many suicides, so many depressions and alcohol addiction, so many injuries and abuse in this Covid year. Fanatic Christians keep telling me this is the Roth of God and Covid is God punishment as he did in Moses time , they adding more wood to the fire of anger, and I keep telling them ” NO” , Your God didn’t pay the bills, or forgot to change the battery in the end of this dam tunnel. This is not helping at all. People must be sensitive with those of us who reached the hypersensitivity.

Many of those people who lost their jobs are wearing the same underpants a few days in a row because they can’t be bothered to change their clothes, let alone shower and shave. Some have lost weight because they can’t bring themselves to eat (it’s not like you have much of an appetite anyway). So this evil covid virus causing many to go hungry, eat more junk food, be diabetic and have a high cholesterol level. I call it the caveman virus.

And all they want to do is go back to bed so they can sleep and hide away from either the overwhelming emotions they’re dealing with, or their awareness that they don’t feel anything at all. This is especially difficult to contend with at one’s workplace or school, since there are inevitably due dates for various tasks or assignments.

 The worse level to reach is hopelessness and that where it gets dangerous as in this level, you don’t know what people might do, and hopelessness can lead to destructive behaviors. Instead they light small candle to light the dark tunnel, they just sit and curse the tunnel, and to me I say I am ready to light a candle but how many I need? How I will pay for them if I have no income, and how long is tunnel?

It is easy to give an advice and give a wise quotation but you don’t know what we are going throw with this covid situation, what people around us feel, total hopelessness.

It’s dangerous to reach this point, because once hopelessness sets in, you might feel so trapped in this situation that you’ll either resign yourself to this horrible fate forever, thus remaining in a state of depletion indefinitely, or consider taking drastic measures in order to stop it.

If you’re at this point, please get help: it’s a very dangerous line to cross, and you may not be able to find your way back on your own. I did, thanks goodness to my positive thinking, the holy book, prayers and worship, good friendship and sound advice away from fanatics, and a good clinical psychology books.

You may have been suffering in a horrible, depleting work environment for far too long, but have held back from looking for a new job because you’re comfortable and secure where you are now, even though it’s sucking your will to live.

Rest, eat well, get the help you need, and then please be honest with yourself about the life you’re living. You may need to reevaluate all the aspects of your situation and then take informed steps to bring about long-lasting change.

When you have people around you who drain all your light in an attempt to sort out their own messy lives, you may end up feeling that even an hour in their presence will leave you a depleted husk of your usual self.

So avoid negative people at all cost. Sometimes, spending authentic time with people close to you can be incredibly cathartic. Try to take your sick days off, do spiritual retreats, if it’s at all possible to take a leave of absence, and try to sort that out: you can’t keep putting energy out into the world without replenishing it at the source and you can only really do that when you take a step back to regroup.

It’s really difficult to be creative when you honestly feel like you don’t have a single spoonful left of energy to give, but interestingly enough, being creative actually fills your well, even just a tiny bit at a time making sure that you draw from your creative spirit and pouring some beauty out into the world is immensely healing. Try to relax and learn how to avoid stress. Avoid political news and bad news.

Covid is also destroying people relationship, reducing the good time and good romance due to stress and anger. When you’re in a romantic relationship that just isn’t working anymore, for any number of reasons, you may feel like you’re slogging through each minute. You may want to sleep a lot (possibly as a form of escapism), spend a lot of time alone, and get irritable when you feel any sort of obligation to do anything with your partner.

When it comes to things that drain us of energy, one of the worst contenders is being in the situation of doing our best to please others, at a detriment to ourselves. Often when people who are highly empathic pair up with narcissists but it can happen to just about anyone, in any kind of relationship.

Problems arise when we’re doing our best to get positive reinforcement and validation from other people by doing what they expect of us, or what suits their vision of who we should be. Pretending to be something you’re not takes an extraordinary amount of energy; just remember that nobody is perfect. There’s no such thing as perfection, and striving to achieve it will do a hell of a lot more harm than good.

If you broke a bone you go to see a doctor and fix it , then physiotherapist , If you got pneumonia, you’d need bed rest and medication, and to ease back into regular life slowly so you didn’t relapse.

Emotional and mental illness are no different, and they originate in the brain, which is a pretty solid, squishy organ sloshing around in your cranium. If you wouldn’t refrain from seeking medical help for a broken bone or phlegm lung, why hold back from getting help when your brain is going haywire?

Undiagnosed autoimmune conditions and food allergies can wreak havoc on mental and emotional wellbeing (nightshades are incredibly inflammatory for many people and can cause panic attacks, for example), and chemical imbalances can be sorted out with medication, so you need to talk to your doctor.

Emotional burnout is generally a pretty good indicator that life changes need to be made, even if it’ll be difficult to do so. That’s why I am seeking new jobs and trying to get out of this circle, but where? Covid is everywhere, travel restriction and I am all dressed up and ready to rumble but nowhere to go, nobody is hiring.

People ask me so many time why I am not afraid of ghosts and demons as I run my paranormal investigation service for free, I always tell them because i have been in the dam dark tunnel all my life trying to find the light and I dont give a dam with any ghost or demon along the way , the evil humans are more worrisome due to thier envies, jealousy ,greed, lust and they are the one who makes the tunnel black and dark so they can steal , kill, and corrupt others.
