Could you be part of the Burnout Epidemic?

According to the Deloitte Women at Work report 2022

46% of the women surveyed report that they feel burned outfel burned out

How do you know if this includes you....?

Burnout isn't a medical diagnosis however it is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a "syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. If the following resonates then it is possible you are heading in that direction, it occurs much more frequently than you might think

Do you recognise any of the following..

• At work productivity and efficiency is reducing and this feels really horrible, even threatening because you believe your value is in what you do and what you produce

• Cynicism is creeping into your thoughts and comments

• You find yourself blaming others (your boss, the company) for the situation that you find yourself in and this leaves you feeling in authentic

• You are taking frequent single sick leave days because you are too tired to work and you are worried that you will be questioned about this. You feel that you are failing and this is terrifying because you believe going sick is unacceptable and threatens your employment status

• You feel overwhelmed frequently

• You know that sometimes you just get in your own way and you're aware that you sabotage your own success at times

• You procrastinate regularly

• Your confidence in the workplace is ebbing away

• You hate your job and you love your job at the same time and this conflict is so draining

• Away from work your intimate relationships may be strained or breaking down

• You hate hearing yourself shouting at your children and others

• Members of your family take the mickey out of you because you have such high expectations and standards. You haven’t the energy to do anything about it besides you hate the confrontation anyway so you just swallow down your feelings because you don't want them to get upset so you let things continue and then you feel resentful and disrespected

• You live from one holiday to another, always focused on the next break

• Socially you don't want to go out sometimes even though you want to spend some time with friends you're just too tired and you just want some time and peace and space alone and for yourself

• You are often more concerned about what others think of you than your own truth

• You feel guilty for not maintaining relationships with friends and family because you feel this is your responsibility

If you do, I understand, I felt them all which is why I am able to write them all here. They were part of my journey to burnout

If this describes you I can assure you that you are not alone and these feelings are common but they come with a big dose of shame and self judgement and so we try to hide them and 'put on a brave face'

None of this is your fault, these are all symptoms resulting from chronic stress, poor boundaries, the inability to say no and a lack of self care. This can change, 

Now is the time to stop beating yourself up and let some help in.
