On the Edge of Burnout? Here are Four Things You Can do to Feel Better.
It's not better to burn out than fade away.
Burnout can feel like a fifty-pound wet blanket weighing you down.
For me, it happens suddenly. I'm coasting along, juggling life, and suddenly, I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, chaotic, and heavy.

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and overwork. It is prevalent in people who don't know how to say "no" or take on more than they can handle.

Burnout can result in shutting down.
