Many people feel stuck in a cycle of overcommitment and stress, but burnout therapy in Orange County, CA, can help break the cycle and restore balance.

Spotting Burnout: Signs to Watch For

Burnout is a sneaky thing that often disguises itself as exhaustion or stress. But it’s more than just being tired—it’s a complete depletion of emotional, mental, and physical energy. Whether you’re checking in on yourself or a loved one, here are some signs to watch for:

  • Running on Empty: Feeling drained no matter how much rest you get. It’s like your battery won’t fully charge past the red anymore.
  • Mood Swings or Emotional Numbness: Snapping at small things or, on the flip side, feeling indifferent to everything—even things you used to love.
  • Foggy Focus: Struggling to concentrate, forgetting tasks, or feeling like your brain is stuck in neutral.
  • Irritation Overdrive: Finding that little annoyances feel like major disruptions. A messy room or a casual question has you seriously on edge.
  • The Sunday Scaries … Every Day: Dreading the next day, even if it’s not Monday, because the weight of your responsibilities feels unbearable.
  • Physical Warning Bells: Experiencing frequent headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues without a clear cause—your body is waving the white flag.
