Quiet burnout is real—and often invisible.
Not all burnout looks like exhaustion or disengagement. Many people experiencing quiet burnout still show up, meet expectations, and smile through meetings—while feeling mentally drained, disconnected, or overwhelmed inside.
This kind of burnout often involves masking: pushing through stress without expressing it, fearing judgment, or believing rest isn’t an option.
🚨 Some subtle signs may include:
▪️Feeling numb or detached from work you once cared about.
▪️Increased irritability or anxiety behind the scenes.
▪️Trouble concentrating, even when tasks feel familiar.
▪️A sense of “I can’t stop, even though I’m exhausted.”
Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a signal that something needs care and support.
If work stress is affecting your mental health, therapy can help you unpack what’s happening and build sustainable coping strategies—without shame.
