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.
According to this I had burnout in kindergarten.
If you find yourself as an adult acting like a toddler, you might have a problem.
Exactly. Normal adults look back on their childhood years with envy.
Meanwhile, who can’t highlight the text properly before applying bold?! This world is fucked.
Your parents should not have let you in social media in kindergarten
We only had TV back then. But the moral panic was exactly the same.
Going by what this says, I’ve been burnt out since my junior year of highschool.
Anyone else find it irritating that only half of the word “highly” is in bold?
I saw it immediately and my brain was like “the lack of attention to detail completely invalidates this entire thing.”
Then I had to slap my brain and tell it to shut up.
Irritable, you say? 🤔
You just described my last 2 jobs before I quit and became much happier even tho I was unemployed.
Work is stupid. We should be working 20 hours weeks and fucking around the rest of the time. Everyone would be so much happier.
Or maybe everyone with ADHD (and, this, 80 gagillion hobbies)
Having both an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling job, as well as having a long sabbatical that same year, fucking around can honestly get boring real fast.
All those ADHD traits pile up real fast and I honestly felt worse day-to-day than I did working absurd hours at a job I really like. There’s a balance, but honestly having fulfilling structured work to fill at least part of the day is super important. I’ve personally noticed that I tend to go a bit batty even if work is slow and I’ve not got much to do, so having that bit of structure really helps.
These are incredibly broad. There are like 9 different things with equally broad sub points. It would be more concerning if any of you read this and thought “nope, literally none of this applies to me.”
If you need help talk to a therapist, of course do it. If you can roll back some obligations to reduce stress then do it! But don’t let this post spook you. Take care of yourselves, definitely avoid burnout where possible, and have a good weekend!
this also sounds like my last 5 yrs of depression lol
Burnout is what people who don’t believe in mental healthcare call depression.
I believe in both and I feel there a distinction though they’re interrelated.
I genuinely have not made that connection before
Burnout, depression, and anxiety are not the same. There is overlap, but they are distinct problems.
Our results showed a significant association between burnout and depression (r = 0.520, SE = 0.012, 95% CI = 0.492, 0.547) and burnout and anxiety (r = 0.460, SE = 0.014, 95% CI = 0.421, 0.497)… Our findings revealed no conclusive overlap between burnout and depression and burnout and anxiety, indicating that they are different and robust constructs.
Uh oh 👀
Oh shit, I’m burned out. I don’t even think it’s work related.
Oh look, I’m in this post.
Oh look, it me
What a bs. This applies even to hypoglycemia.
And depression
so all of life. I was gonna say I don’t do social media but woops im here.
Fuck.
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 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)_/¯
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.
