Re: Topic Tuesday// Burn Out // Tues. 23 Jan. 7pm - 9pm AEDT
Wow – we have some variety in there.
@Mazza1 - sorry to hear that you're up around the 5 mark - glad you're here though 🙂
@Janna pleased to hear you're back down after a 5 - looking forward to hearing some of your tips later tonight
Hi @Shaz51 !
I hope tonight can help – even if it’s just having a sense that you’re not alone.

Re: Topic Tuesday// Burn Out // Tues. 23 Jan. 7pm - 9pm AEDT
I wanted to share the common symptoms of ‘burnout’, as burnout manifests in different people. What below resonates with you?
Physical signs:
- Feeling tired and drained most of the time
- Lowered immunity, getting sick a lot
- Frequent headaches or muscle pain
- Change in appetite
- Change in sleep habits
Emotional signs:
- Sense of failure and self-doubt
- Feeling helpless, trapped, and defeated
- Detachment, feeling alone in the world
- Loss of motivation
- Increasingly cynical and negative outlook
- Decreased satisfaction and sense of accomplishment
- Loss of creativity
Behavioural signs:
- Withdrawing from responsibilities
- Isolating yourself from others
- Procrastinating, taking longer to get things done
- Using food, drugs, or alcohol to cope
- Taking out your frustrations on others
- Missing work or coming in late and leaving early
Where are people feeling it at the moment?
Am I missing any symptoms?

Yup - can relate to those although for me my signs/symptoms predominantly sit in the emotional and behavioural categories :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Rereading the list I definitely got hit on the emotional side more than anything.

Re: Topic Tuesday// Burn Out // Tues. 23 Jan. 7pm - 9pm AEDT
its hard for me to distinguish between burnout and my usual mental health stuff but right now im mostly feeling it in the physical side of things with the overall tiredness and lethargy, and im actually sleeping more which is unusal for me and just have the bleh type feeling...
