Burnout
It seems like the word "burnout" is everywhere these days.
Burnout is common - no one is immune to burnout - but just because burnout is common, it doesn't have to be normal or ok or tolerable for you to continue living with.
​
Common signs of burnout include:
-
Feeling uncomfortable even considering seeking help for burnout, because YOU are supposed to be the one that helps others
​
-
Comparing your own stress to the experiences of the individuals you are working with on a daily basis (ie: “I should be able to handle this, it’s not as bad as….”)
​
-
Frequently thinking through worst case scenarios and crisis management in your personal life
​
-
Feeling numb to emotions
-
Not wanting to talk about your job with anyone in your personal life in order to protect them from the things you see and hear at work
​
-
Often wondering if there is anything good or productive happening in the world
​
-
Thinking about leaving your profession in order to survive, even though you love the work that you do
​
-
Feeling like no matter what you do to help, it doesn’t seem to be enough
