    I think it's worth pointing out how much the mentioned symptoms overlap with depression.

    be on the lookout for the following symptoms:

    • Apathy or indifference to even the most pleasurable parts of life
    • Mental and/or physical exhaustion or overwhelm
    • Insomnia
    • Difficulty concentrating
    • Headaches
    • Loss of appetite
    • A desire to isolate
    • A low sense of self-worth
    • A shortened temper
    • A feeling of aimlessness

    If this is relatable for you, and you've felt these long-term, please consider talking about it with your physician or a psychiatrist.
