🟦 1. Constant Fatigue — Even After Sleep
You wake up tired, feel drained all day, and have no energy for normal tasks.
This means your body isn’t fully recovering overnight.

Difficulty focusing, forgetting simple things, or feeling mentally “slowed down” are strong signs of mental exhaustion.
🟦 3. Irritability or Mood Swings
When you’re depleted, small things feel overwhelming.
You may snap easily, feel impatient, or experience unexplained sadness or anxiety.
🟦 4. Sleep Problems
Exhaustion can show up as:
-
Trouble falling asleep

Waking up multiple times

🟦 6. Loss of Motivation
Things you usually enjoy feel like “too much.”
You avoid chores, work tasks, or social interactions because you have nothing left to give.
🟦 7. Emotional Numbness or Feeling Detached
When the mind is overwhelmed, it sometimes shuts down emotionally.
You may feel disconnected from people or like you’re on “autopilot.”
