So That's What They Call It!!!

I think I'm suffering from burnout?!

Found this on an adoption blog.


"Unmanaged stress leads to burnout. Burnout is a slow-growing condition that derives from stress and poor stress management. It occurs over months.

Burnout risk increases when people:
  • Are nurturing by nature and anticipate the needs of others  check
  • Have less support than they need check
  • Feel powerless check
  • Are workaholics
  • Are perfectionists check

Are you suffering from burnout?

Symptoms of burnout:

  • Tiredness check
  • Small health complaints
  • Too little or too much sleep check
  • Feeling sad, angry, irritable and depressed check
  • Appetite changes (I wish - sigh)
  • Lack of motivation and loss of interest in everyday activities which you once enjoyed check
  • Feelings of hopelessness or being trapped check
  • Feeling like running away" check and double check
