The 5 stages of burnout

Step 1

The start of stress begins.

Reduced productivity & anxiety goes up

Feeling stagnant & stuck

Step 2

Personal needs are becoming neglected

Constant feeling of exhaustion

Step 3

Officially now burned out.

Health issues start to occur

You start to isolate yourself

Step 4

Struggling to function at this point

Severe mental & physical exhaustion is REAL

Usually you need support at this point

Step 5

Depression

Elevated stress now kick in

Memory fog

If you are feeling these, that is not a good sign. It is time to work on a improvement plan. Get some support if you need to. Get a accountable partner to hold you to your new goals. Change some things up to improve your situation.

Trust me you can come out of this & this does happen to many of people, you are not alone my friend.
