Always check that burnout is not caused by bad work practices like a company wanting one person to do the job of three people or with inadequate equipment or rest breaks or support etc.

Burnout happens, though, in more than just the workplace. ADHD and autistic brains operate on overload, so home responsibilities, relationships, caregiving, or other situations can also cause burnout, with the same feelings of exhaustion, distance, overwhelm, etc.
And can come with more internalized guilt.

I've heard a recommendation to stop calling it burnout and shift to "exploitation fatigue" or something that shifts it from being a personal problem.

I just wrote my dissertation on determinants and fallout of psychosocial stress in different occupations. The research is just now getting to this topic, but I’m telling ya, we’re about to see a lot of links between Psychosocial stress & adhd/other mental health conditions in the next few years.

I feel like I'm experiencing this with my schooling right now. I have a uni exam in 2 days and have been struggling so much to study for it.

I am not burned out but fighting my own parents in court after their defamation and calumny... and yeah put ADHD on top and it becomes extremely exhausting especially with chronic rage due to this. I am so afraid to emotionally crash completely once this court battle is over.

I've been burned out for more than 10 years. 😓

I have been burnt out since I was 21 and had my first real job at Target. I have been pigeon-holed into high volume customer service...I absolutely hate it.

[KoriC]

This is exactly how I feel, except it's home life and not work related

[RoodiniCats]

I don't have ADHD (I 🤔 think) but I'm right there right now, I think. And I just took a couple days off to handle some non-work issues, and have almost totally wasted that time. At least I'm getting some sleep....

I also learned today that the FA attatchment the freeze response was sort of conditioned out of us, but we default to a. Fight (find defend against) state and fawn (care taking fixing and pleasing) and then I also do a good amount of a “fu shutdown”

[zeromotivation]

I feel like that is the case right now with mid trimester exams/assignments/labs.

[ruaoneill]

I feel like this, but about life in general and I'm not working. Is that still burnout?

[Nick_Taylor.]

Anyone heard of Medical Medium? Their protocols healed my burnout

[sunshinesprinkles]

I feel like the workplace is could care less about burnout and will just replace you with somebody who doesn't have the problem, this is why many people suffer in silence so they can pay their bills

[DanBowkley]

I am only slightly more burned put than ground zero at the Tsar Bomba test site. Just a scoche. 20 solid years of 60 hour workweeks has a tendency to do that.

[zertoil]

I'm unemployment burnout. I'm doing what every recruiter and career advisor has told me. I get final interviews but I am not getting offers.

[Grizzy]

Oh boy, this is my default state of being...

[cloudmastr]

What is it when it’s not related to professional life? Does it have to be work to be burnout? If so, what is the same feelings when applied elsewhere in life?

Can long-retired seniors be burnt out? How do we recover?
