Sometimes just getting out of bed and facing the workday can feel like an impossible task. However, if you feel like this most of the time, you might be dealing with more than you think. You could be suffering from burnout, a gradual process with subtle signs and symptoms that worsen over time.<\/p>\n<p>We hear the term \u201cburnout\u201d all the time, but most of us think it\u2019s just another name for stress and all of the challenges that come with it. But there is a distinct difference. Stress is having too much on your plate (too many responsibilities, work to handle, etc.), but burnout is the opposite. With burnout, you may feel like you don\u2019t have enough, as in not enough energy or not enough motivation. It feels like you\u2019ve run out of gas and completing even small tasks can seem like an impossible feat. Burnout has become a chronic issue in the workplace, so much so that in 2019, the World Health Organization classified it as an \u201coccupational phenomenon.\u201d And this was <em>before<\/em> the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re going through the day-to-day of life, often we don\u2019t feel like we have time to step back and assess our overall mental health. We just keep pushing through to get it all done. But burnout is sneaky. What starts as a few \u201cbad days\u201d or weeks can result in something far more serious. Burnout can affect every aspect of a person\u2019s life from emotional to physical and behavioral. Below, we\u2019ve broken down the signs and symptoms of each:<\/p>\n<p><strong> Emotional Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feeling hopeless and trapped<\/li>\n<li>Experiencing loss of motivation<\/li>\n<li>Having an increasingly cynical and negative outlook<\/li>\n<li>Feeling like a failure and experiencing self-doubt and lack of accomplishment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Physical Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feeling drained and tired the majority of the time<\/li>\n<li>Experiencing frequent headaches and muscle aches<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with changes in appetite and sleep habits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Behavioral Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Taking frustrations out on others<\/li>\n<li>Withdrawing from responsibilities and isolating from other people<\/li>\n<li>Using food, drugs or alcohol to cope<\/li>\n<li>Continually procrastinating or taking longer than usual to get things done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Burnout not only leads to issues in the workplace, but spills over into every area of life, including home and social life.
