What Does Mental Burn Out Look Like?

I’m about to give a crystal clear picture of what mental burnout looks like and it’s not what you think:

  • Mental burnout is often the one people don’t want to associate themselves with Because it can be deemed quite ugly

I will put my hand up here and go first… I have experienced this… A LOT in the past

When you are mentally burned out you are going to be showing signs of

  • Being Irritable
  • Withdraw from society
  • Have a loss of belief in others and the world
  • Being Negative to or having an inappropriate attitude towards others

Well at least that’s what a study by Christina Maslach – Berkeley and Michael P.Leiter Acadia University

But how does that show up for YOU in the real world?

  • You might
  • Have angry outbursts
  • Be overly judgemental
  • You are being overly negative
  • Be fighting with loved ones/friends
  • You see mainly the bad in everyone
  • Isolate yourself or choose to stay indoors
  • Have chest palpitations through feeling angry and uptight
  • You are being sceptical and paranoid that people are out to get you

Told you, not nice is it, but it’s OK! (zero judgement here).

Did you know in the past 30 days 74% of people who have done our burnout self-assessment have said that they feel irritable most of the time?

Mental burnout has also been the highest scoring.

That’s a lot of bears with sore heads walking about waiting for their fuse to BLOW!

We have a burnout self-assessment that you can do right HERE to find out where you are right now.
