Am I Burning Out?

A short, non-diagnostic self-check for chronic stress and burnout — not laziness, a nervous system that hasn't had a real chance to recover.

1. How often do you feel emotionally exhausted before the day is even half over?
2. How has your motivation for work or responsibilities you used to care about changed?
3. How often do you feel cynical, detached, or irritable about things that didn't used to bother you this much?
4. How is your sleep, specifically feeling rested after it?
5. How often do you feel physical symptoms of stress (headaches, tight chest, stomach issues, tension) with no other clear cause?
6. When you imagine taking real time off, how does it feel?

Burnout gets mistaken for laziness or a lack of discipline more often than it should. It’s not that — it’s what happens when a nervous system doesn’t get a real chance to recover for long enough. This quiz walks through the core markers researchers use to describe burnout: emotional exhaustion, detachment/cynicism, and reduced sense of accomplishment.

This isn’t a clinical diagnostic tool, just a way to notice a pattern early enough to actually do something about it.
