Feeling Burnt Out by Everything? You’re Not Alone — Let’s Talk About the “Crash Out”
Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot about something called the “Crash Out.” Maybe you’ve seen it on TikTok or Instagram — people talking about how they’re done, checked out, overwhelmed, angry, and tired all at once. Sound familiar?
At Purple Sky Counseling, we’ve been sitting with clients who are feeling that same emotional burnout — and we want you to know: you’re not broken. You’re responding to a world that feels incredibly heavy. And you don’t have to carry that weight alone.
So, What Is the Crash Out?
The “Crash Out” is a term that’s been trending lately, especially online. It’s that tipping point where everything builds up — the stress, the politics, the parenting, the news cycle, the mental load — and then you just... crash.
It might look like snapping at someone over nothing, crying in your car, zoning out completely, or feeling ragey for no clear reason. It’s emotional exhaustion, and it’s real.
People are talking about it publicly more than ever, which is actually a good thing — because naming it is part of healing it.
Why This Hits So Hard Right Now
At Purple Sky, we’re seeing a wave of clients who are deeply affected by what’s going on around them — socially, politically, environmentally, and personally. For a lot of folks, especially women and caregivers, it’s not just burnout. It’s years of pushing through, taking care of everyone else, and never really getting space to just feel or fall apart.
The constant pressure to be fine is exhausting. The “Crash Out” is your body and brain finally saying: enough.
