Emotional exhaustion is an invisible enemy
In the modern world, we face constant stressors that leave us in a continual state of stress. Stress can lead to mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.
Emotional exhaustion is an invisible enemy. A person suffering from it will often not know how to articulate how they are feeling. Emotional exhaustion will creep in and affect every part of their lives, eventually leading to burnout.

- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Unable to focus
- Increased apathy or cynicism
These symptoms often seem contradictory. How can you feel tired and have difficulty sleeping?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
