Two Burnout

According to my enneagram type, I am “The Giver.” This often comes with something known as two burnout. This refers to the exhaustion we feel from giving too much. We tend to pour until our cups are empty. Right now, there are too few drops in my cup for me to drink. It feels like my lips are turning blue from the burnout of my flame. My insides feel cold. The fire is dwindling. Hues of orange have been replaced by the color that indicates a lack of oxygen. My lips are dry from dehydration, my stomach empty from starvation. I mean this literally and metaphorically. I am not okay, but what do you need? I do not feel well, but how can I make you feel better? It is time to look within and ask myself these questions.
