Burnout Carries a Harmful Stigma That Keeps You Trapped

Burnout vs laziness: understanding the real difference.

Being burnt out is different from being lazy. Stigmas like this one will keep you stuck if you believe them. Burnout is chronic physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that comes from needing to be strong under intense and lasting stress for too long.

To heal from burnout, the first step is to be honest about how you're really feeling - let it all out. Stop pretending, stop wearing masks, stop people pleasing and instead, find a safe person and share your struggles. We are here for you if you are looking for a safe community where you can belong. We know how hard it is to feel stuck without any options and we are here to listen and guide you. You can find many resources on our website, like articles, courses, and recovery programs.
