Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, often in the workplace. It’s characterized by fatigue, cynicism, reduced performance, and feelings of detachment. Burnout can impact health, relationships, and productivity but is manageable with support, lifestyle changes, and strategies to address underlying stressors.
“Burnout left me completely drained, unmotivated, and unable to focus. I felt like I was just going through the motions. With the right support, I’ve learned to set boundaries and regain balance in my life.”
Burnout is more than just feeling tired—it’s a profound state of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion that often follows prolonged stress. Some professional are at higher risk of burnout. For example high-achieving professionals like lawyers, bankers and executives can feel like losing control in a fast-paced, demanding world. Acute stress reactions, such as racing thoughts, irritability, and trouble sleeping, often evolve into chronic symptoms over time. You may feel detached from your work, despite your ambitions, with a sense of cynicism or disconnection from colleagues.
The relentless pressure to perform can lead to neglecting self-care, straining relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches, tension, or gastrointestinal issues. Despite outward success, burnout creates an inner void, where fulfilment and energy once thrived. Left unaddressed, it can significantly impact career and well-being. The good news is that with the right support—like tailored interventions, stress management strategies, and therapy—balance and vitality can be restored.
