Introduction

Mental exhaustion (精神内耗 in Chinese) is one of the most discussed emotional states in recent years: the feeling of being drained not only by what you do, but by constant thinking, self-criticism and unrelenting standards.

This self-built reflection explores four common internal drains: rumination, perfectionism, self-criticism, and exhaustion. Use it to understand where your energy goes — not to label yourself.
