Burnout Isn’t Laziness … It’s an Overloaded Nervous System
You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not “just tired.”
If you're constantly fatigued, emotionally drained, snapping at loved ones, or finding it hard to focus even after a weekend “off” or vacation you're likely experiencing burnout.
And you’re not alone.
What Burnout Really Feels Like
Burnout doesn’t always show up as collapsing on the couch at the end of a long day.
It can look like:
Struggling to fall asleep even when you’re exhausted
Saying yes to one more thing (again) and feeling resentful about it
Feeling disconnected from your partner, your job, or even yourself
Wondering why nothing feels “enough” not even rest
Battling guilt when you finally do take a break
Burnout often hides behind people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the pressure to hold it all together.
The Nervous System’s Cry for Help
What you’re experiencing isn’t a failure it’s a sign that your nervous system is overstimulated and under-supported.
Burnout is your body’s way of saying:
“Slow down. I can’t carry this alone anymore.”
When our stress response stays “on” too long, our system gets stuck. You may start feeling:
Emotional numbness where you detach from your feelings
A sense of hopelessness like things will never get better
Physical symptoms (headaches, tension, gut issues)
Relationship tension or withdrawal
This isn’t just emotional fatigue it’s your body waving a red flag or shall I say it’s sick of you.
