In this world, there are 3 key states of feeling: sad, happy, and tired. Although there are way more than these three states of feeling, these three can often be misunderstood. It can be quite confusing to decipher what exactly someone is feeling. Within the state of being tired, comes both mental and physical tiredness.

Being sad might have some reasoning behind, or sometimes not. It's perfectly fine; perhaps the weather reflects your mood. Perhaps a bad test grade has discouraged you, or maybe even worse reasons, unfortunately.

Being happy doesn't always require a reason at all either. It's a mood that can be as abrupt as April rain. On a random day, at any random moment something as small as a good gesture can make someone smile.

Tiredness on the other hand, is something that happens after an amalgamation of the other two.

I usually walk with a dark cloud above me, as many of my friends say. It doesn't mean that I'm sad, but more "emotionally drained" and tired of going back and forth with happy to sad to frustrated and whatnot. Emotionally exhausted, tired, and drained from the lack of empathy and positivity around me.

Being emotionally drained isn't something so bad, as we all reach a point like this in our lives at least once. The difficult part is coping with it. Here are a couple ways to cope with emotional exhaustion:

1. Recognize it.

First thing's first, recognize it and tell yourself that you're exhausted and list out why exactly you're feeling that way. Or how you're feeling. It's healthy to understand that you're exhausted, tired, and not feeling too well.

2. Distract yourself with good habits.

In order to keep yourself moving forward with good results health-wise and education-wise, you should have fun, like join a hangout with friends or simply watch some shows that make you happy. Do things you never found time for before.

3. Talk it out.

It is important to not internalize every thing you feel. It might become too much to store in your mind and body. It's important to find someone you trust, like a best friend or even a therapist to discuss what you're feeling and how you can improve your sleeping habits and etc.
