117. Why Do I Feel So Stuck? 3 Ways to Break the Cycle of Depression, Anxiety Symptoms & Burnout

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of depression, anxiety, stress, or burnout, knowing what you need to do but unable to find the energy to do it?

When PTSD, depression, anxiety symptoms, stress, or burnout take over, even simple things can feel overwhelming. You may feel emotionally exhausted, isolated, shut down, or struggle with trouble focusing.

But you don’t have to go from frozen to fully operational all at once.

In this episode of Practical Solutions for PTSD, I’m sharing 3 things that have helped me break the depression cycle again and again:

1. Take small steps. Focus on the next doable thing instead of trying to fix everything at once.

2. Get help. We aren’t meant to do everything alone. That might mean getting support from your doctor, counselor, chiropractor, church, friends, or even getting help with basic needs like food and nutrition.

3. Put God first. When you don’t have strength for the whole journey, ask God for strength for the next step.

If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety symptoms, PTSD, stress, burnout, guilt, isolation, loneliness, relationship difficulties, or trouble focusing, this episode is your reminder:

Start small. Get help. Put God first. Then take the next step.
