How do you know if you're burnt out? I'm Dr. Julie, and here is your super quick rundown of the three aspects to look out for. Number one: physical symptoms. Physically, it's more than just feeling tired. You will feel exhausted most of the time, maybe problems sleeping, frequent headaches, and changes in appetite. Number two: emotional symptoms. Emotionally, it's likely you'll feel defeated, helpless, or trapped, maybe even fantasizing about leaving all your responsibilities behind for a while. You've lost all sense of satisfaction, achievement, or enjoyment that you once got out of things, and instead, you most likely feel dread, worry, or anxiety at every turn. And number three: behavioral symptoms. Behaviorally, you now procrastinate more than ever. Tasks that used to feel easy now feel overwhelming, and you're so tired that even socializing now feels too much. You might also become more reliant on whatever your drug of choice is, and on top of all this, being more short-tempered means you're arguing more with the people who mean the most to you in the world.
