Is Burnout Real?
If a friend, or maybe an employee, has recently come to
you complaining about a condition known as burnout, you
may be wondering if this is a real condition or not. The
answer is that burnout is real! And it certainly isn't as easy
to solve as some doubters of the condition may lead you to
believe.
Burnout Is Not Just "Stress"
People who argue that burnout isn't real will try to explain
the feelings associated with burnout as just simple stress.
This couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, chronic stress
is a condition related to burnout. But while stress can go
away on its own, burnout is a very complicated condition
that won't just "go away" one day. Rather it will likely take
action, and a lifestyle change, to fully remedy it, and you
can't fix it by just taking a day off. Rather it will need a
broader approach to address the systematic problems
which are causing it.
Burnout Doesn't Just Happen One Day
Another thing the skeptics will have you believe is that
burnout just happens one day. But this isn't true at all.
Burnout isn't something you just wake up with one day.
Rather, it is something that occurs over a long period.
Burnout formulates over years of having too heavy of a
workload, too much stress, and little or no reward.
Burnout Causes Real Damage
Another thing about burnout that makes it a real condition
is that it has the power to do some serious damage to the
body if it is left untreated. Not only can it lead to mental
issues such as depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, but
it can also lead to physical issues. While they can start as
something simple such as headaches, these physical issues
can quickly escalate to cause lasting damage to the body's
digestive system, nervous system, and even the heart.
There are many skeptics out there who doubt that the
condition of burnout is real. This is probably only because
they haven't experienced it for themselves and can't
imagine the difficulty of a condition like burnout. Burnout is
real. It isn't stress, it doesn't happen overnight, and it does
cause real damage. This is why it is important to ensure
you take all the steps you can to avoid burnout.
