Common Signs Of Burnout

January 30, 2023

"Burnout is preventable. Take some time for yourself, focus on the positives in your life, and practice self-care to prevent burnout from taking over."

Do you need help finding motivation? Feeling burnt out at work? Or just struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life? You're not alone.


According to a recent study, nearly one in five Americans have experienced burnout symptoms.


This is because we live in a society that is constantly on the go. We are expected to be available 24/7 and always to be productive. This can lead to stress and, eventually, burnout.


And it is not surprising that the most common causes of burnout are related to our work. According to a study by the American Psychological Association found that 50% of respondents said their job was very or extremely stressful. Other causes of burnout include caring for a sick family member, managing a chronic illness, and dealing with personal relationships.


So what are the signs that you are burning out? Here are eight common symptoms and how to deal with them:


* Feeling exhausted all the time

You are always tired and have no energy, even after a good night's sleep. This is because your body is constantly under stress and trying to cope with the demands of your life. One way to deal with this is to take time. Even if it is just a few minutes a day, do something that relaxes you and takes your mind off work or other stressors.


* Feeling detached from your work

You used to love your job, but now you cannot stand it. You feel like you are just going through the motions and not accomplishing anything. This is a common symptom of burnout because you are so stressed that you cannot enjoy the things you used to.


Again, take some time for yourself and try to find activities that make you happy because work should not be the only thing in your life.


* Feeling like you are not good enough

You constantly compare yourself to others and feel like you are not measuring up. This can lead to a lot of anxiety and stress. The best way to deal with this is to focus on your accomplishments and what makes you unique. Keep in mind that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and there is no need to compare yourself to others.


* Feeling hopeless

You have lost all motivation, and you feel like giving up. This is a dangerous symptom because it can lead to depression. If you think this way, reaching out to a friend or family member is vital for support. Sometimes you need someone to talk to who will listen and understand what you are going through.


* Changes in sleeping habits

You either cannot sleep, or you are sleeping too much. This is because your body is trying to cope with the stress of burnout. It is essential to establish a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up simultaneously every day and try to avoid caffeine and electronics before bed.


* Changes in eating habits

You are either not eating enough, or you are overeating. This is because your body is trying to cope with the stress of burnout. The best way to deal with this is to establish a healthy diet. Make sure you are getting enough nutrients and avoid processed foods.


* Feeling irritable

You snap at people for no reason, and you are easily annoyed. This is because your body is under a lot of stress and is trying to cope the best way it can. Find a hobby or activity that relaxes you, and avoid stressful situations.


* Getting sick more often

You are getting sick more often because your body is trying to fight off the effects of stress. The best way to deal with this is to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get plenty of rest.


If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you must seek help. Burnout is a serious condition, and it can hurt your health. Talk to your doctor or a mental health professional if you are struggling.


And remember, burnout is preventable. Take some time for yourself, focus on the positives in your life, and practice self-care to prevent burnout from taking over.
