"Pale with the secret war of feeling,
Sustained with courage, mute, yet high;
The wounds at which she bled, revealing
Only by altered cheek and eye;"

If constant stress has you feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted, you may be suffering from burnout.(oh no.) When you’re burned out, problems seem insurmountable,(yesss..:/) everything looks bleak,(uhhuh..) and it’s difficult to muster up the energy to care—let alone do something about your situation. But if you’re able to recognize the signs and symptoms of impending burnout, you can take steps to prevent it. Effective burnout-busting strategies include taking care of yourself emotionally and physically, asking for help when you need it, and staying connected to other people.

Burnout is a state of emotional and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It can occur when you feel overwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest or motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place.
Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly hopeless, powerless, cynical, and resentful. The unhappiness burnout causes can eventually threaten your job, your relationships, and your health.
Because burnout doesn’t happen overnight — and it’s difficult to fight once you’re in the middle of it — it’s important to recognize the early signs of burnout and head it off. Burnout usually has its roots in stress, so the earlier you recognize the symptoms of stress and address them, the better chance you have of avoiding burnout.

Signs and symptoms of burnout
The signs of burnout tend to be more mental than physical. They can include feelings of:
Powerlessness -not so..
Hopelessness -yeaa.kinda.
Emotional exhaustion -yes.
Detachment -does wanting to be alone count?
Isolation -no interest in social events?
Irritability -uhhuh.
Frustration -oh yes.
Being trapped -yea more often.
Failure -of not being able to meet even 25% of the day's agenda?then yes.
Despair -hmm.am i heading that way?
Cynicism -&sacarsm?
Apathy -yes:(
If you’re burning out and the burnout expresses itself as irritability, you might find yourself always snapping at people or making snide remarks about them.(im really sorry dear friends if i have!really.) If the burnout manifests as depression, you might want to sleep all the time or feel “too tired” to socialize. You might turn to escapist behaviors such as sex, drinking, drugs, partying, or shopping binges(oh no.) to try to escape from your negative feelings. Your relationships at work and in your personal life may begin to fall apart.You may lose your trust in others, believing that people act out of selfishness and nothing can be done about it.(& i thought it was only me being all paranoid/psychotic)
