What is Drained?
Your reserves feel empty, and even small tasks may take more effort than usual. This can come from sustained emotional, cognitive, or physical effort over time. Sharing this with your team sets helpful expectations and may open the door to support.
When you might feel drained
Drained is a specific form of tired, which itself is a type of low. You might experience this feeling in situations where low is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define drained.
