Used to think of burn out as a weakling thing, but i have to admit the job doesnt channel the same energy as before. Its become stale, and is starting to feel like a drag. How does burnout present, and what can i do to get things back under control?

      My customer changed my on site role and i found myself working on non-designated days to be more productive, due to the role now requiring endless meetings. It sucks and, while i have control about how many days i work a week, my need to fulfill ‘obligation’ sees me trying to make up for the lost time, i.e. lose control over work boundaries.

      This sounds more like general stress and anxiety rather than “burn out” as I understand it.

        I’d disagree, as all the above center on the job. Burnout is causing general stress/anxiety, which are its key indicators.

      Not saying it’s wrong but there are a lot of mental issues that do exactly this. (firsthand experience)
