Burnout
How Do You Show Up When You're Burned Out?
Research consistently links chronic burnout and unmanaged stress with sleep disruption, anxiety, low mood, poorer immune function, and elevated cardiovascular risk over time. When stress stays high for too long, the body can remain in a prolonged activation state that keeps cortisol and other stress systems from fully resetting, which makes it harder to recover, think clearly, and stay emotionally patient with other people. Left unaddressed, burnout can quietly shrink your capacity for connection, decision-making, and physical resilience.
Pick the answer that feels most like your real-life instinct. No perfect answers, just your current vibe.
