Work burnout is a serious condition that can occur due to a long period of chronic stress and overwork. Here are some signs that you may be burnt out at work and it may be time to take a break:

Constant Fatigue: You feel very tired and exhausted even after light exertion. Rest and sleep no longer restore your strength.

Loss of Interest and Motivation: You feel less enthusiasm and passion for the work that used to inspire you. Tasks that used to be interesting now seem uninteresting and useless.

Decreased Productivity: Your productivity declines and you have difficulty concentrating and completing tasks. Even simple tasks become difficult.

Feeling of meaninglessness: You begin to doubt the value of your work and see no point in what you are doing. It may seem to you that you are stuck in a routine and do not see prospects.

Emotional and physical exhaustion: You experience frequent headaches, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, irritability, anxiety, or depression. You may feel emotionally and physically exhausted.

Changing relationships: You become distant from colleagues, friends and loved ones. You may find it difficult to establish or maintain connections with other people.

Experiencing More Frequent Illnesses: Your immune system may be weakened and you often become susceptible to colds, flu, or other illnesses.

If you are experiencing more than one of these signs, it could be a sign of burnout at work. In this case, it is important to take a break and do self-service. Refer to your guide or stress management resources at work for help and support. Also see a professional psychologist or therapist for additional help and to develop stress management and recovery strategies.
