Psychoanalyst Shares Personal Struggle with Rest Guilt, Sparking Online Discussion

A recent social media post by psychoanalyst Lorrayne Oliverz has sparked discussion around the pervasive feeling of guilt associated with rest in modern society. In a short video, Oliverz shared her personal experience, stating, "I always feel guilty resting, I don't know why, but when I rest, it feels like I'm losing time of my life." She elaborated, "I see that my value is directly linked to how much I have/produce, so I feel bad when I take time to relax." This candid reflection highlights a common psychological struggle where individuals tie their self-worth to their productivity, often leading to burnout and an inability to truly disconnect. The post, which has garnered over 120,000 views, resonates with many who face similar pressures in a demanding world.
