Burnout

Burnout is a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that can occur when demands outweigh what you can cope with. Burnout can happen for different reasons including:

• A workplace or role demanding more than can what reasonably be done or causing persistently high levels of stress.

• Giving more of your time, attention, or effort than what can be sustained long term. 

• Perfectionism.

• Struggling to say 'no' or set limits.

• Being asked to do something without the tools, resources, or training you need.

• Not being valued or rewarded for your efforts.

Burnout is often seen in the workplace but can also happy to parents, family caregivers, and students. 

​

Signs of burnout include:

• Fatigue

• Detachment 

• Anxiety

• Loss of motivation

• Feeling cynical

• Less satisfaction or joy

• Feeling defeated or useless

• Irritability

• Difficulty Concentrating

• Muscle tension

• Difficulty sleeping

​

​

Unresolved burnout can lead to anxiety, depression, or health problems. Recovering from burnout requires rest, self care and, often, uncovering underlying issues that may have contributed to the burnout.
