This is the point of all the chaos. You can’t fight back now. Stay vigilant, maintain awareness, and keep on, keeping on.

29% were too tired to reply, or concerned that their employer would fire them for being exhausted.

yea

That’s how you keep a work force from rebelling. Bone deep exhaustion.

No shit I am burned out and ready to just quit and live in my Suv for 4 to 5 months and just travel around trying enjoy life.

For fucksake there are vanlifers living better life then I am!!

Im not so much exhaused as I would just like one month where something expensive doesn't break. I had to spend $400 on one vehicle, then $200 on another, then my EV gave me an error and its a problem I could easily fix but nobody sells the parts, and then today I was going to work and my motorcycle broke down and it needs, you guessed it, a $300 part.

Yes it would be really cool if there was some kind of public transport.

We're going to look back at this current time of exhaustion as "the good days before it got worse".

I "joke" all the time: Now that I've been laid off from work, I've never been busier. I can't even say all the extra stuff crept up on me, per se, it's been like the concept of punctuated equilibrium where there are sudden and dramatic new tasks/projects/responsibility falling in my lap all at once, things will maintain at that level for a bit, maybe looking at getting a break soon, then the next set of things comes at me.

So, yes, I'm exhausted. Fortunately some of this will be resolved soon, at least enough of it that I'll actually have the time to brush up my skills, polish the resume, and get back out into the job market. Might need a vacation first, though.

Maybe you should have spent more of your time advocating for your interests against the wealthy and powerful who are making you into exhausted slaves and early corpses.

My levels of apathy have increased. And the amount of schadenfreude I have enjoyed has increased. Not towards others but I've been enjoying companies close down. For example I've stopped taking service calls, there's a huge shortage of people that repair things, and well it leads to them shutting down.

Made America Great Again?

Pretty misleading headline

The researchers defined fatigue in this study as people saying yes when asked if they had felt “very tired or exhausted.” In 2024, a total of 71.5% of respondents said they were fatigued in the preceding three months. Of these, 54.9% said they had fatigue some days, 10.7% said it was most days, and 5.9% felt it every day.

If you're part of that 15-20%, think about going to the doctor for it. Many incredibly common and treatable things can cause fatigue or make it worse. Sleep apnea if you're overweight, iron deficiency if you have a uterus, depression and anxiety if you pay attention to the world and have a conscience. Life can be hard, but life with untreated disease is even harder.

You voted (or sat at home) for this.

Can't imagine why. Things are going so well for everyone.

Can’t organize revolution if you’re all burnt out just trying to survive. Though Americans could probably all stop working for a week or two and end all of this, half of you hates the other half so you’d never band together and support each other for something as little as… Freedom?

That is the goal of this style of facist takeover (for example Putins regime).

I’m tired, boss

We are the 71%

The other 29% just took their ADHD meds.

Except those who are fueled by twitterslop rage-bait-farms. Somehow their energy to target minorities is endless.

I'm not American and I'm also exhausted of hearing about their stupid president.

it'll get better once iran and palestine are annihalated and trans people are barred from the public, dear ameriKKKan

everyone is completely exhausted everywhere.

people won't stop tolerating this shit though. so hard on themselves.

I have four years left before I leave the workforce forever. I don't know if I can make it.

Can’t protest if you’re exhausted. Also you’ll lose your job and health insurance.

And these motherfuckers want to cut my SNAP and Medicaid while I'm the closest I've been in years to getting my legs back under me.

If people think the "roving bands of homeless people with machetes and nothing to lose" problem is bad now, just wait til summer 2027 when hundreds of thousands of people on Medicaid have been off their meds a few months.
