so basically, living in an imperialist capitalist society and being aware of it is burnout?
source?
I’m getting kid of tired of infographics with absolutely zero mention of the source, the reasoning, etc.
This seems mostly legit, but who knows?
I had the exact same concern. Where’s the support for these ideas?
Ended up Googling it for awhile today and got linked to a podcast that had some decent practical tips for reducing burnout (towards the end of the podcast)

Beyond that, though, burnout seems kind of vague and much of the content around it is either worker-focused (you’re burned out because you don’t believe in what you’re doing for a living) or employer-focused (you should be watching out for signs of burnout in your workforce because it hurts productivity).
The best things I found basically recommended having strong boundaries in place to make sure your work and personal life don’t blend.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I had the same feeling. In terms of contents, the examples seem to be fashioned after the Maslach Burnout Inventory but their description is a sometimes off and would fit depression better than burnout (which overlap, but the latter is work-specific). The MBI is also much more extensive and requires a more nuanced response to each example (not just yes/no).
Generally, you should never interpret these graphics as some kind of diagnosis. An actual diagnosis requires a trained therapist, who may use tools like the MBI to help with this but not as the sole foundation of the diagnosis.
Edit: The danger with these kinds of infographics is that they’re simplified so much that basically anyone can recognize themselves in them. Most people feel at least some of these things occasionally. That’s normal and doesn’t automatically mean you’re suffering from burnout.
So what if we’ve been feeling like this for as long as we can remember? How long can you burn without going out?
For me it was 52 years. Or 14 if you count the day my first child was born, which in turn put enough stressors on me to burn out not to read or answer any email (bills & taxes) and go bankrupt in 2018.
I’ma take my complaint in a different direction even though the other comments make really good points. Wtf do I do now? This gives me no indication of what I should do once I recognize I’m burnt out.
Found the answer, hidden in the inattention…
Once source of great pride the art of crafting ghlyirri tables is nearly forgotten nowadays.
I was about to type burnout or ADHD before I noticed the sub
There’s no way I’ve just been burnt out for the past 3 years, I didn’t have a job for 1 1/2 of those years
Shit. I just batted 1000.
This is like reading a horoscope for mental health issues.
In that case I am smoke.
Oh look, I’m in this post.
Nah, it’s fine. I’m only experiencing all of those signs.
How do I cure burnout because I’ve been feeling this way for the past 3/4 months?
For myself:
Regimented change in habits to include more sleep, time outside, and hobbies.Add more time to deadlines to allow for the changes.
According to this I had burnout in kindergarten.
If you find yourself as an adult acting like a toddler, you might have a problem.
Exactly. Normal adults look back on their childhood years with envy.
Meanwhile, who can’t highlight the text properly before applying bold?! This world is fucked.
Your parents should not have let you in social media in kindergarten
We only had TV back then. But the moral panic was exactly the same.
