How Do I Know If I Am Experiencing Burnout?
If you feel emotionally exhausted, detached from your work or relationships, unable to care about things that used to matter, and physically run down in a way that rest does not fix , you may be experiencing burnout. It is more than tiredness. It is a state of depletion that builds over time.
Burnout often develops so gradually that you do not notice it until you are deep inside it. Common signs include emotional flatness, cynicism, difficulty concentrating, physical symptoms like headaches or recurring illness, loss of motivation, and a feeling that nothing you do makes any difference. The key difference between burnout and tiredness is that rest alone does not resolve burnout. If a weekend or a holiday provides only temporary relief before the exhaustion returns, that is a sign the issue is structural, not just about needing more sleep. Therapy can help you understand the patterns driving your burnout and find a sustainable way forward.
