Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It often stems from work, caregiving, or other responsibilities that leave little room for rest or recovery. Left untreated, burnout can lead to more serious health concerns, including chronic fatigue, chronic pain, or mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.

Common Signs of Burnout & Overwhelm:

  • Constant exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest.

  • Feeling detached, numb, or emotionally drained.

  • Loss of motivation, even for things you once enjoyed.

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.

  • Resentment toward work, responsibilities, or people.

  • Inability to say no, often prioritizing others’ needs over your own.

  • Increased irritability or frustration.

  • Feeling ineffective or unaccomplished.
