Have you ever felt physically and psychologically exhausted?

The term burnout is a state of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion as a result of chronic or prolonged stress in important areas of your life, including interpersonal, academic, work, or financial relationships.
Symptoms of burnout may include:
• Emotional exhaustion: low energy or motivation to meet the demands of your work or responsibilities.
• Physical exhaustion: chronic fatigue, changes in appetite, and changes in sleep patterns. It may also be reflected in the appearance of psychosomatic symptoms such as migraines, gastrointestinal problems, and muscle pains, among others.
• Depersonalization: changes in behavior such as indifference and detachment (for example, decreased interest in tasks at work). Emotionally, negative and cynical attitudes toward work, academia, or significant people around you develop or intensify (examples, isolation, low tolerance).
• Low productivity and demotivation: some examples are lack of concentration, frequent forgetfulness, increased errors, and difficulty concentrating. This increases the feeling of inefficacy or lack of achievement. People may feel that nothing they do makes sense or yields results.
Burnout can harm the mental and physical health of a human being as well as delay their path to well-being and may affect their work, and relationships, among others. Awareness of the symptoms should be created in order to address and treat them immediately.
Incorporating strategies and tools to reduce stress such as breathing techniques, writing or journaling, exercise, setting boundaries at work, self-care practices, and seeking help from a mental health professional would greatly help reduce symptoms and regain control of your mind and body.
