Depression—which often culminates in burnout—follows from overexcited, overdriven, excessive self-reference that has assumed destructive traits. The exhausted, depressive achievement-subject grinds itself down, so to speak. It is tired, exhausted by itself, and at war with itself. Entirely incapable of stepping outward, of standing outside itself, of relying on the Other, on the world, it locks its jaws on itself; paradoxically, this leads the self to hollow and empty out. It wears out in a rat race it runs against itself.

R. D. Laing talked about a similar thing in his 'The Divided Self' but I can't find the exact quote

One who mourns is entirely with the beloved Other. The late-modern ego devotes the majority of libidinal energy to itself. The remaining libido is distributed and scattered among continually multiplying contacts and fleeting relationships. It proves quite easy to withdraw the weakened libido from the Other and to use it on new objects.

In the social networks [of the late-modern individual], the function of “friends” is primarily to heighten narcissism by granting attention, as consumers, to the ego exhibited as a commodity.

Have you ever noticed that you can only sleep really well when you're tired (but not very tired)?

The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" —which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.

— Dune, by Frank Herbert

Spannungsbogen (n.) comes from German, and it means something like "bow of suspence," like a tense bow before it shoots the arrow.

Rituals can be defined as temporal technologies for housing oneself. They turn being-in-the-world into being at home. Rituals are in time as things are in space. They stabilize life by structuring time. They give us festive spaces, so to speak, spaces we can enter in celebration.

قريتله The Agony of Eros و The Burnout Society وثنينهن جانن يخبلن، وبديت ب psychopolitics همين يبدو جيد.

His criticisms cut to the core

"لقد وهبتني أعظم سعادةٍ ممكنة. لقد كنتَ بكل الطرق، كلّ ما يمكن لشخص واحد أن يكونه. لا أظن أنه من المعقول لاثنين أن يصبحا أكثر سعادة منّا... ما أريد أن أخبرك به هو أنني مدينة لك بكل السعادة التي عشتها في حياتي. لقد كنت صبورًا معي وطيّبًا بشكل لا يعقل. أريد أن أخبرك -والجميع يعلم هذا- لو كان لرجلٍ أن ينجح في إنقاذي فستكون أنت هذا الرجل. فقدتُ كلّ شيء يا ليونارد، عدا إيماني بك وبقلبك. لا أستطيع الاستمرار في إفساد حياتك. هذا يكفي. لا يمكن لشخصين أن يكونا أكثر سعادة مما كنّا عليه".

- رسالة انتحار فرجينيا وولف إلى زوجها

*فرجينيا كاتبة وشاعرة انگليزية(1882-1941)، أصيبت بالإضطراب الوجداني ثنائي القطب (bipolar) والذي لم يكن الطب قد اكتشف علاجًا له آنذاك.
أنهت حياتها بملئ معطفها بالحجارة وإغراق نفسها في نهر أوز.
كُتب على شاهد قبرها آخر جملة كتبتها في آخر رواية لها (الأمواج): "سأقذف نفسي أمامكَ، غير مقهورة أيها الموت، ولن أستسلم".

Today, we do not deem ourselves subjugated subjects, but rather projects: always refashioning and reinventing ourselves. A sense of freedom attends passing from the state of subject to that of project. All the same, this projection amounts to a form of compulsion and constraint
