Have you been feeling completely exhausted and burnt out lately?
Have you tried various solutions for your physical and mental exhaustion but nothing seems to help?
This is most likely because our struggles are sometimes not just physical or mental, Sometimes it is not only the body and mind that are tired, but also the soul.
The exhaustion of the soul, or the so- called "soul disease" can happen if we ignore its cries for a long time and do not pay special attention to our spiritual well-being.
Our soul can feel drained for a variety of reasons.
Maybe we went through a difficult breakup that took a toll on our emotional and mental health.
We may be experiencing an unexpected loss or a turn of events that has changed our reality beyond recognition. The soul also suffers when we are surrounded by toxic people or when we don't live our lives according to our own understanding.
One of the most noticeable signs of soul exhaustion is the desire to sleep longer than normal and the inability to perform even basic functions such as eating or exercising at the usual times.

Here are some of the most common signs and symptoms of soul depletion:
1. We experience inexplicable pains
Our mind, body and soul are connected. If there is any imbalance in one element, it will affect the other. Therefore, if the soul or heart is tired, it may try to attract our attention by creating physical disturbances in the body.
We may experience unexplained pains, dizziness, nausea, migraines or tension, headaches, blurred vision or gastrointestinal problems without any medical reason.
2. We experience anxiety or panic attacks
When the soul is exhausted, it can be difficult for us to find peace and the world can seem dark and confusing. We may try different ways to improve our state of mind. To try the things that gave us joy until recently. Despite our efforts, it is not excluded that this leads to feelings of fear and hopelessness, causing anxiety or panic attacks.
3. Difficulty in dealing with challenges
Ups and downs are a part of life and we are usually ready to deal with them, but when our soul feels tired, we don't have the strength to deal with even simple challenges or difficulties that life throws at us.
It is very important to pause for a moment and allow ourselves time to attend to our spiritual well-being. Yoga, meditation, silence or spiritual solitude are ideal for gaining the energy we need to face life's challenges.
4. We suffer from insomnia
If we are not in a happy and relaxed state, it will become impossible to sleep well. Even if we manage to sleep for a few hours, our sleep will be filled with anxious thoughts or nightmares and we will wake up feeling tired and exhausted.
5. We experience negative emotions such as bitterness, anger, resentment or jealousy
Each of us is subject to negative emotions at times, but when the body and mind are not in harmony with the soul, we experience negative emotions such as bitterness, anger, resentment or jealousy more often and more violently.
6. We feel extremely lonely even when surrounded by people
When we are out of sync with our soul, we can feel extremely lonely even in large companies. We may feel that no one understands us and we are unable to trust the people around us.
We may face an existential crisis and question the deep meaning of life and how we are connected to one another.
