How do I cure burnout because I've been feeling this way for the past 3/4 months?
For myself:
Regimented change in habits to include more sleep, time outside, and hobbies.
Add more time to deadlines to allow for the changes.
Sounds like somebody needs to just unplug for a while, man. Go to Burning Man, get enlightened. Take a sabbatical, bro. You'll be upgrading your network/networth. Let me tell you about microdosing ligma, bro...
Yeah that was me for the last 3 months, so I cut my hours down and got out of the department that was destroying me and now I get to have fun in the department I enjoy. Haven't had a stressful work day since.
BINGO!
What's with the highly irritable? It's like the person that created the image consciously made that word just partly bold to irritable people. It's so clearly visible I can't believe it was a mistake.
ghly irritable was the part that needed the most emphasis after he said "hi" to us 😄
I feel like I'm just running the clock down to FIRE
I was a 911 dispatcher for close to 6 years. Towards the end I was deep into all of these things, and more. I couldn't tell because it had all been normal to me for years by that point. It's insane how normal this can all seem from the inside. My advice to anyone reading this is that you rarely can be a good judge of your own burnout while experiencing it. Listen to the people you trust when they bring these things up. It's not judgement, it's not an attack on you. It's genuinely in your best interest to not let it get too far. I have been out for almost 4 years now and the last 2 months are the first time in almost a decade I remember what actual happiness is like and how it feels to enjoy doing something.
Woah, 100%. I win!
So I have a burnout in the age of 14?
I can’t really speak to the factors contributing to burnout in 14 CE but I imagine they were not insignificant
Lets just say, my live isn't the best since im six years old.
I can only imagine the stress lol
So what if we've been feeling like this for as long as we can remember? How long can you burn without going out?
For me it was 52 years. Or 14 if you count the day my first child was born, which in turn put enough stressors on me to burn out and not to read or answer any mail (bills & taxes) and go bankrupt in 2018.
I am on the way out, defend free time like nothing else, but still can feel stress reactions in my body.
I don't think this is accurate unless I've been a burnout for most of my life.
There's no way I've just been burnt out for the past 3 years, I didn't have a job for 1 1/2 of those years
so basically, living in an imperialist capitalist society and being aware of it is burnout?
This is like reading a horoscope for mental health issues.
Shit. I just batted 1000.
Fucking life right now
I was about to type burnout or ADHD before I noticed the sub
I'ma take my complaint in a different direction even though the other comments make really good points. Wtf do I do now? This gives me no indication of what I should do once I recognize I'm burnt out.
Found the answer, hidden in the inattention...
Once source of great pride the art of crafting ghlyirri tables is nearly forgotten nowadays.
Nah, it's fine. I'm only experiencing all of those signs.
source?
I’m getting kid of tired of infographics with absolutely zero mention of the source, the reasoning, etc.
This seems mostly legit, but who knows?
I had the same feeling. In terms of contents, the examples seem to be fashioned after the Maslach Burnout Inventory but their description is a sometimes off and would fit depression better than burnout (which overlap, but the latter is work-specific). The MBI is also much more extensive and requires a more nuanced response to each example (not just yes/no).
Generally, you should never interpret these graphics as some kind of diagnosis. An actual diagnosis requires a trained therapist, who may use tools like the MBI to help with this but not as the sole foundation of the diagnosis.
Edit: The danger with these kinds of infographics is that they're simplified so much that basically anyone can recognize themselves in them. Most people feel at least some of these things occasionally. That's normal and doesn't automatically mean you're suffering from burnout.
I had the exact same concern. Where’s the support for these ideas?
Ended up Googling it for awhile today and got linked to a podcast that had some decent practical tips for reducing burnout (towards the end of the podcast)

Beyond that, though, burnout seems kind of vague and much of the content around it is either worker-focused (you’re burned out because you don’t believe in what you’re doing for a living) or employer-focused (you should be watching out for signs of burnout in your workforce because it hurts productivity).
The best things I found basically recommended having strong boundaries in place to make sure your work and personal life don’t blend.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fuck.
so all of life. I was gonna say I don't do social media but woops im here.
