5 Signs You are Burned Out at Work

Signs You are Burned Out at Work
Modern life is very stressful and hectic. You work for 5 days a week, slogging, bickering, listening to complaints and draining yourself out. Little do you realize that stress can take a heavy toll on you. What is actually quite beyond normal seems like a routine affair. Work related stress can soon change into complete exertion and have serious consequences. Apart from affecting your physical well-being, it can also affect your relationships and performance at work. Here are 5 signs you know that you are burned out at work.

1. Lethargy

Feeling of lethargy and tiredness is the first sign that you are overworking yourself. Excessive workload reduces your 8-hour regular sleep cycle and also does not allow you to eat healthy food in time. These factors are signs that you are pushing yourself beyond your threshold.

2. Lack of enthusiasm

If you are burned out at work, chances are that you will not enjoy your job. Your interaction at personal level will also be affected in terms of going out with family, having dinner or watching a movie. Your work leaves you so exhausted that there is no happiness gained from small pleasures of life.

3. Depression

A serious warning could also be depression. Depression or anxiety is a mark that you have reached a point where you cannot handle the workload anymore. You feel like quitting but you drag on as it is your job. Nothing makes you feel happy. You constantly feel low and don’t look forward to anything fun. Your work becomes a matter of existence.

4. Inactive sexual life

If you are over-stressed at work, the repercussions will be evident on your sexual life. You might find yourself just coming back home and catching a good night’s sleep. Physical and mental fatigue leaves no room for physical pleasure. You must watch out for this sign to know if you are burned out at work.

5. Poor social life

Meeting parents, relatives and friends in your social circle which used to be fun and enjoyable seems like a chore. You are perhaps dragged to places by your family, when all you want to do is sleep or have a cold beer sitting on the couch. Disinterest in meeting people shows that you are completely burned out at work.
