it’s really important to listen to your body and mind. Burnout is more than just being tired—it’s a deeper, more chronic exhaustion that affects every part of you. Here are common ways it can show up:

🔥 Emotional Signs

Irritability or mood swings: You snap easily or feel overwhelmed by small things.

Numbness or detachment: You don’t feel excited or moved by things that used to matter.

Cynicism or hopelessness: Feeling like “what’s the point” or being overly negative.

Anxiety or dread: The thought of work, responsibilities, or even getting out of bed feels crushing.

💭 Mental Signs

Foggy thinking: Hard to focus, remember things, or make decisions.

Constant overthinking: Your brain doesn’t shut off even when you’re supposed to rest.

Loss of motivation: Even things you once loved feel like chores.

🏃‍♀️ Physical Signs

Chronic exhaustion: Tired even after sleeping, or sleep feels useless.

Headaches, muscle pain, or stomach issues: Your body is always tense.

Weird sleep patterns: Can’t sleep or can’t stop sleeping.

🚩 Behavioral Signs

Withdrawing: Not wanting to talk, socialize, or even respond to messages.

Procrastinating more: Even small tasks feel huge.

Neglecting self-care: Skipping meals, showers, or basic routines.

If you’re recognizing yourself in this:

Please know that this is not your fault, and it doesn’t make you weak. It means your body is sounding the alarm, and it’s time to pause, rest, and possibly reach out—to a therapist, doctor, or someone you trust.
