Extreme and sustained stress can lead to burnout, which is a source of emotional, physiological, and mental weariness. When you’re stressed, mentally tired, and therefore unable to cope with the demands, it is called burnout. As the tension mounts, you start to lose passion and enthusiasm for the role you took on in the first place.

Burnout dampens your vitality and lowers your performance, keeping you feeling powerless, despondent, pessimistic, and spiteful. You may start feeling as though you have nothing left to contribute.

Burnout has negative consequences in every aspect of your life, especially your family, career, and social relationships. Burnout can also lead to long-term changes in your body, making you more susceptible to illnesses such as colds and flu. Burnout must be addressed as soon as possible due to its numerous effects.

Stress refers to an adaptive mechanism to any type of demand imposed by adverse situations. Burnout, on the other hand, is a state of emotional or mental exhaustion that comes as a result of prolonged stress exposure.

Someone suffering from work-related tension, for instance, may feel unmotivated and be dissatisfied with their job. Burnout, on the other hand, can cause physical exhaustion and the incapacity to perform. Burnout would produce dissatisfaction, unrest, and strong skepticism about everything linked with the profession.

The latest stats on stress and burnout highlight the necessity of addressing these disorders as quickly as possible to enhance the lifestyles of those who are struggling to come to terms. In the previous year, 74 percent of those polled said they had been too stressed to cope with everyday tasks at some point.

Every year, 12.5 million workdays are missed in the UK due to job-related stress, anxiety, or depression, with anxiety, depression, or stress accounting for 40 percent of all job-related health problems cases in 2016/2017 and 49 percent of all lost workdays due to illness.

So, how can you determine whether a person is burnt out? We’ve listed some of the most common symptoms and signs below:

Fatigue – a person may begin feeling weary most days, have poor energy, and be sluggish. They will eventually become emotionally and physically tired, and their mental and physical resources will be drained.

Insomnia — a person may find it difficult to fall or remain asleep at first. Yet, this can quickly escalate into sleeplessness, which can be extremely distressing. Despite rising weariness, sleeping becomes increasingly difficult.

Memory loss or an inability to concentrate – there may be a loss of concentration or some memory lapses at first. Work becomes overwhelming as time goes on, and things start to stack up.

More vulnerable to illness – a person’s immune system deteriorates as the body’s normal capacity is limited. They might notice an increase in sickness, anything from a common cold to flu-like illness.

Stress might cause a decrease in hunger at first. However, this can result in a complete loss of appetite, resulting in significant weight loss.

Physiological symptoms – these can occur in some extremely severe forms. Difficulty breathing or even chronic chest aches are common physical signs. Chest palpitations, drowsiness, migraines, and gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea may be experienced by some.

Anxiety – at first, tension, concern, or unfavorable projection may be present. The longer this goes on, the nearer a person comes to completely burning out. Anxiety can cause problems in our private life and work life, to the point where we may dread or despise going to work.

Depression can make someone feel sorrowful at first. As a consequence of failing to deliver, for instance, there may be emotions of remorse and unworthiness. People may feel ashamed, confined, and despondent in the worst-case scenario. You may start to believe everybody will be best off without you. If a person’s depression has progressed to this level, you can refer them to a professional for help.

Anger can appear as impatience and frustration at first. This may eventually evolve into bitterness, resulting in aggressive outbursts. There could be severe disputes at home, as well as the impression that no one respects what you do. If a person’s rage escalates to the point of contemplating or committing acts of violence against family or coworkers, professional help should be sought immediately.

Isolation – when the person’s anger grows, they may feel compelled to shun everyone because they are too upset and occupied to develop and keep friendships, resulting in much more time alone and a loss of social engagement.

If any of the following apply to you, you may be on the cusp of burnout:

It’s an awful day every day for you.
It appears like caring about your career or personal life is a complete waste of time.
You’re constantly tired.
You spend most of your day on chores that are either mind-numbingly boring or burdensome.
You have the impression that nothing you accomplish matters or is valued.

Reach out

Encouragement from coworkers, colleagues, and close relatives is invaluable. Because the natural reaction to burnout is to retreat, it’s easy to lose connection with others. Speaking to a friend or seeking counsel from a family member, on the other hand, can be beneficial.

Working with an expert is a good idea

Burnout can be treated with the support of a psychotherapist, counselor, trainer, or other mental health specialists. Employees may be eligible for free or subsidized therapy and coaching at some organizations. If that option is accessible to you, make use of it, or find someone out on your own.

Fitness

Moving your body is an excellent technique to divert your attention away from the source of your exhaustion. It may also help to alleviate the underlying stress that has contributed to your burnout.

Try doing some mindful activities. Mindfulness, meditation, tai chi, qi gong, and other mindfulness activities can all aid with burnout.

Take some time off

Taking a week or two off from the activities that have made you feel worn out can be beneficial. It may not be a long-lasting remedy, but it can provide some relief in the short term.

Change the status in which you work

Discuss the job reasons that are making you feel burned out with your employer, supervisor, or human resource manager. If it is your home life that’s driving you crazy, speak about it with your partner and other household members to see if you can make things better. If your burnout persists, you may need to make significant changes to your employment or family life.

Make sure you get enough rest

Getting proper rest can help prevent burnout. If you’re having trouble sleeping because of your stress levels, try to improve your sleeping habits or speak to your physician about supplements or drugs that can help.

Eat healthy food

Stress can be reduced by eating a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin C.

We used numerous peer-reviewed articles to compile a list of treatment options.

Here is a brief description of each technique.

It is critical to recovering every day. According to the majority of studies, everyday rehabilitation efforts are more beneficial than preparing for a vacation or a weekend (Bakker & Oerlemans, 2014; Bakker & Derks, 2014).

To put it another way: A series of shorter breaks are preferable to a single large annual vacation.

Once a week or less frequent recovery intervals are less significant and effective than everyday rest periods.

Remove your cell phone from the scene. Scientists gained an insight into endogenous tactics employed by individuals to avoid burnout by reading their frequent diary entries.

Work–home entanglement, or when our work and home requirements collide, burnout recovery is hampered, according to Bakker and Derks (2014). Cellphone use after work, according to the study, raises the risk of work-home interference, particularly:

Receiving work-related text texts after hours
After hours, actively monitoring work mails

Bakker and Derks (2014) split their subjects into 2 groups: those using their work cellphone after work and those who didn’t. Individuals who had used their cellphone after work were much more likely to have work–home disruption and had a harder time recovering from burnout. These individuals were able to rest if they could ‘disengage’ from their job and not use their work cellphones.

If you’re inquisitive, don’t link your wristwatch with your work email because it will have the same negative consequences.

You should lie down on the couch more often. Bakker and Oerlemans (2014) investigated how the following 3 everyday routines impacted burnout restoration in a diary study.

Social activities – socializing with family and friends, whether at home or away from home; participating in social events with other people.

Low-cost pleasures – include laying on the couch, watching television, doing nothing, and resting.

Sport participation, exercise, or yoga are all examples of physical practices.

Bakker and Oerlemans (2014) investigated 247 people’s journal entries over 2 weeks. To assess burnout recovery, participants were asked to score statements related to:

Physical vigor manifested through a sense of vitality and strength
Thinking rapidly, feeling innovative, and developing creative solutions and ideas are all signs of cognitive vitality.
Recovery, the state of being restful and having adequate time to recuperate.

Overall, engagement in any of the 3 sorts of activities improved burnout recovery.

When Bakker and Oerlemans (2014) divided the respondents into low – and high-risk burnout groups, they discovered the following for the high-risk group:

Cognitive liveliness and physical vitality were boosted by low-cost activities, but not perceptions of restoration.
Recovery, mental liveliness, and physical energy were all boosted by social activities.
None of the 3 outcome variables improved as a result of physical activity.

Based on the severity and duration of the Burnout symptoms, outpatient, residential, and inpatient programs of varying durations, from a few weeks to as long as 6 months to 1 year, are offered for comprehensive treatment of burnout.
