Stress is a normal part of life. Burnout develops when stress becomes ongoing and your mind and body no longer have time to recover.
You may feel emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and less connected to the things that once felt meaningful. Even rest may not feel restorative, and everyday responsibilities can start to feel overwhelming.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent exhaustion
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feeling overwhelmed easily
- Irritability or frustration
- Reduced motivation
- Sleep difficulties
- Physical tension or headaches
- Feeling detached from work or relationships
If stress has become your baseline, support can help you understand what is happening and begin to restore balance.
