What Is "Burnout"?
Burnout is a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion due to prolonged or repeated stress. Burnout is often associated with work, however it can also be a result of family, friends and anything else that causes you accumulating stress. Burnout may look or feel different for everyone, but some of the common signs are constant exhaustion, irritability, frequent headaches, trouble sleeping, frequent illnesses, heightened emotional reactions, constant negative thinking or cynical thinking, and even signs of depression.
