Signs of burnout vs. normal tiredness
When rest no longer helps, it may be something more.
Tiredness lifts with rest
A good weekend usually helps ordinary tiredness. Burnout tends to stay, even after time off.
Things you might be noticing
Feeling detached from work you used to care about, irritability, trouble concentrating, and a sense that nothing you do is enough.
A gentle next step
Talking it through can help you understand what is draining you and what might change. If you have physical symptoms, it is also worth seeing a doctor.
