When resting fills you with guilt so you stop resting

The second I sit down to rest, the guilt shows up, this nagging voice saying I should be doing something useful. So the rest never actually feels restful. I've started skipping it altogether just to dodge the guilt, and now I'm more worn out than ever.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Rest triggers so much guilt that you avoid it, and the exhaustion just builds.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
