Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like functioning on the outside while quietly struggling underneath.
Burnout can show up emotionally as:
-feeling detached from yourself or others
-low patience for things that normally wouldn’t bother you
-constant dread before everyday tasks
-emotional numbness or feeling “flat”
-crying more easily than usual
-feeling guilty for resting or slowing down
Your mind and body were never designed to run on survival mode forever.
Rest isn’t something you have to earn, and support isn’t something you have to justify
