Burnout at Work: When Exhaustion Becomes More Than Just Stress

[Felipedok]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to open this thread for anyone who feels emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, or simply “empty” because of work. Burnout doesn’t always happen suddenly — sometimes it builds up quietly over time, and many people don’t realize what’s happening until it starts affecting their health or personal life.

I’m currently learning more about this topic and would really appreciate hearing real experiences from the community. Let’s make this a respectful and supportive space where people can talk openly about work-related burnout without feeling judged.

If it helps, here are a few questions to reflect on:

Early Signs: When did you first notice that your stress or fatigue felt different from normal tiredness?
Work Factors: What responsibilities, expectations, or environments played the biggest role?
Impact: How did burnout affect your emotions, motivation, or life outside of work?
Coping: What helped you start feeling better — time off, boundaries, lifestyle changes?
Support: Did anyone notice what you were going through or offer help along the way?

Feel free to share your story, thoughts, or advice. Sometimes simply knowing that others have been through the same thing can be a big relief coastiecraftburgers.ca.
