You used to be so "good, I can do it" that you didn't dare to say you were tired.

At first, doing well may make us proud.

We're the ones the chief trusts.

Is the person the team calls for trouble time.

Is someone who always says, "I'll take care of it."

But over time,

Excellence may gradually become an expectation.

A job that used to be a compliment.

Became a duty everyone thought we had to do.

Responsibility increased.

But the space gives us less fatigue back.

Many talented people therefore do not stop.

When I started tired

They stopped.

When there's really no strength left

If you feel like you're not the same today,

Maybe it's not because you're less good.

But maybe it's because

You've been trying to excel everyone for too long.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ที่เคยทำงานในตำแหน่งที่ต้องรับผิดชอบมากขึ้นและถูกคาดหวังสูง ฉันเข้าใจดีว่าการเป็นคนเก่งอาจไม่ได้มีแต่เรื่องดีเสมอไป เมื่อเราถูกวางตัวให้ทำงานได้ดีเสมอ คนรอบข้างมักจะไม่ถามว่ารู้สึกเหนื่อยหรือไม่ เพราะคิดว่า "เก่งอยู่แล้ว เดี๋ยวก็ทำได้" ซึ่งความจริงแล้ว สิ่งนี้ทำให้เราไม่กล้าบอกความรู้สึก หรือแสดงออกถึงความอ่อนล้าของตัวเอง ความคาดหวังที่สูงขึ้นทำให้งานที่เคยเป็นคำชมกลายเป็นภาระหน้าที่ที่ต้องรับผิดชอบมากขึ้นโดยไม่มีโอกาสได้พัก ส่งผลให้หลายคนเผชิญกับภาวะหมดไฟอย่างรวดเร็วโดยไม่รู้ตัว การอดทนและฝืนทำงานต่อเมื่อเริ่มหมดแรงส่งผลกระทบต่อสุขภาพจิตและร่างกายในระยะยาว สิ่งที่ฉันเรียนรู้คือ เราควรสร้างพื้นที่ปลอดภัยให้ตัวเองในการแสดงออกถึงความเหนื่อยล้า เช่น การพูดคุยกับเพื่อนร่วมงานหรือหัวหน้าที่เราไว้ใจ เพื่อให้พวกเขาเข้าใจและไม่ตั้งแต่ความคาดหวังสูงเกินไป แต่ละคนมีขีดความสามารถและความรู้สึกที่แตกต่างกัน การยอมรับว่าตัวเองเหนื่อยและต้องการพักจึงเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ นอกจากนี้ การตั้งขอบเขตในการทำงาน เช่น การแบ่งเวลาให้สมดุลระหว่างงานกับชีวิตส่วนตัว ช่วยลดความเครียดและรักษาพลังงานเพื่อทำหน้าที่ได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพในระยะยาว การได้พักอย่างเต็มที่และมีเวลาทำกิจกรรมที่ชอบช่วยเติมพลังบวกกลับมาใหม่ เราไม่ควรมองความเหนื่อยล้าเป็นเรื่องอ่อนแอ แต่ควรมองว่าเป็นสัญญาณเตือนให้เราหยุดพักและให้โอกาสตัวเองได้ฟื้นฟู เพื่อจะได้กลับมาทำงานด้วยความสุขและความมั่นใจได้อีกครั้ง คนเก่งควรได้รับการดูแลและเข้าใจเหมือนกัน เพื่อชีวิตการทำงานที่ยั่งยืนและเต็มไปด้วยความสุข

20 signs you need better boundaries
Nobody teaches us how to set boundaries. So we end up drained, resentful, and wondering why we feel so tired all the time 💔 I started tracking my boundary-setting as a daily goal in @Psyfy — and recognising these signs was the first step. #psyfy #journaling #journal #boundries

If you’re tired… but still trying… this is for you.
👉 “You’re tired… but you’re still trying.” Some days it’s not about being strong… it’s about not giving up. You can be exhausted and still be showing up. You can feel worn down and still be moving forward. God sees every quiet effort you’re making. Even this version of you is enough. 🌿

The image displays the title "7 Signs You're Emotionally Exhausted That People Don't Talk About" in white text. It shows a lit candle, a glass of red wine, a book, and a pen on a table, with a blurred city skyline at night in the background.
This image presents "01. you start ignoring people you actually love." It includes text about isolation being a sign for rest and not being able to pour from an empty cup. A lit candle, mug, book, and pen are on a table with a city night view.
The image shows "02. you fantasize about disappearing for a while." with text explaining this desire for relief and quiet. A lit candle, a mug, a book, and a pen are arranged on a table, set against a city night background.
You’re Probably Emotionally Exhausted If…
Sometimes emotional exhaustion doesn’t look like crying nonstop or having a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like ignoring texts, overthinking every little thing, feeling disconnected from yourself, or wanting to disappear for a while just so your mind can finally rest. I think a lot of us became

A text message exchange where a mother complains about not being acknowledged on Mother's Day. Her child responds, explaining that the mother hasn't been acting like a mother and needs to stay sober for herself, not for them.
Continuing the text conversation, the child emphasizes the mother's need for self-driven sobriety and expresses being tired of being blamed. The mother responds with disbelief, and the child reiterates their exhaustion and the mother's responsibility.
The child tells the mother she won't be invited to the wedding until she acts like a mother. The mother expresses confusion, and the child explains she needs to learn to be a parent or the relationship cannot continue.
Am I the a**hole?
So these messages (May 25) and post (June 22) was made by my biological mother. A little background story I was taken from my bio mom at the age of 8 due to drugs and alcohol and didn’t talk to her for 10 years after that. This past year I reached out for the first time and tried to reconnect with
