Do you feel constantly tired and irritated by work? You may be burning out. The symptoms of burnout are as varied as those who suffer it. Some people get angry, some become quiet and introverted, while others overeat or abuse drugs and alcohol.
If your job is stressful, find out if you’re headed for job burnout. Some common feelings associated with burnout are:
- You feel unable to be effective at work.
- The workplace demands more than you are able to give.
- Nothing you do seems good enough.
- You are anxious and dread going to work.
- You are always tired, even when you get enough sleep.
- You’re bored most or all of the time.
- You feel guilty.
- You feel hopeless, powerless, and frustrated.
Here are some of the best defenses against burnout:
- Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, and get enough rest and exercise.
- Make balance a priority. Have a rich life outside of work, as well as activities and people who bring you satisfaction outside of the office.
- Reach out for help. Build a strong support system and make sure you’re not with people who spend time complaining.
- Come up with solutions. If you sense a problem, follow through on all possible remedies you develop.
