Burnout Stories

Ang ibang istorya ay isinusulat para maisapubliko at kung minsan isinusulat para makalaya sa potensyal na ibinabahagi nito. Dahil minsan nakakapang hinayang kung ang isang istoryang may potensyal ay manatiling hanggang doon lang...at maging hanggang doon ka na lang. Isusulat para makalaya o isinusulat dahil hindi makalaya? @luyangdilawxamatcha

A while ago, I had a math assignment. For most people, it would've taken about 10 minutes. But I have ADHD. Most people consider ADHD to just mean "fidgety and hyper." It's not. I know so many people who are struggling so hard, and society just ignores us because it's inconvenient to try and figure us out. I did end up getting my assignment done. It took at least an hour of crying, a bit of self-harm, and I accidentally wrote a short story about neurodivergency, overworking, and masking differences and suffering in the process. This is that story. And yeah, this is Wattpad. You're probably here for romance or fanfiction. This is neither. But I figured, why not publish it? So here it is. Enjoy.

Burnout. Stress. Fear. The life of a creative is almost never stable, but things tend to get worse before they get better. CW: depressing thoughts, suicidal implications

(ONGOING) || There comes a time when the fire within begins to dim. The weight of constant responsibilities, silent prayers, and spiritual exhaustion wears down even the most faithful hearts. Many have walked this path, feeling empty, numb, and far from the passion they once had for life and God. Even the strongest believers in Scripture had moments when their zeal wavered. Elijah, who called fire from heaven, once asked to die under a broom tree. David, the man after God's heart, cried out in loneliness and despair. When the flame flickers, we are not alone. Here is a 30-day journey drawn from the quiet wrestlings of a servant of God-words born not from strength, but from surrender. Through reflections shaped by the Word of God, may you be reminded that your flickering flame is still seen by the One who never lets the fire die.
