We've been through one heck of a year, and the Corona Virus crisis is still going strong. Between these troubles and family, work, relationships, finance and everything else an adult nowadays must contend with, is it any wonder that many feel emotionally and mentally exhausted? It's nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something that is good to be aware of and treat. So test yourself: Are you exhausted?

READ MOREOh my, you poor thing, you are really mentally and emotionally exhausted. Can't blame you, it's been one heck of a year and we all have so much to bear and to do as adults living through this difficult time. Never feel bad about feeling bad! This is a very common occurrence. What you need now more than anything is to take stress off yourself, sleep well, exercise, eat and take care of your body. <br><br>Try to take a break from the things that make you feel the most stressed and take some time to be with yourself or the people that make you happy. It won't happen overnight, but with time you'll start feeling like yourself again.

READ MOREYou're not quite exhausted yet but you're getting there, and are in serious risk of taking that mental and emotional tumble. These things happen when we feel too much stress for too long, or suffer too many sadness or frustration. <br><br>You're still not in the "red zone" but you at risk if you don't start taking better care of yourself. It's time to put yourself first, which means getting enough rest and sleep and diminishing the stressful elements in your life.

So keep doing what you're doing, get plenty of rest and avoid stress to continue being the happy person you are.

READ MOREAccording to your answers, you may be a little bit exhausted, but not much. You may be just starting the process or perhaps just feeling a little down lately. It's reasonable enough after the 2020 we all suffered, and nothing to feel bad about. The important thing is to realize this and take care of yourself, put yourself first for once and get some needed rest, away from the stressful elements in your life. With you only just a bit 'maxed out', a bit of rest should return you to a more healthy emotional state.
