Exhaustion is not a personal failure.
WHO describes burnout as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Working conditions, demands, and support therefore need attention. Personal reflection alone does not resolve the problem.
You feel exhausted, motivation has faded, and small tasks take effort. You may feel guilty for doing less. Take these signs seriously. Recovery, reduced demands, and support can matter. If symptoms persist, seek professional assessment: exhaustion can have different causes.
What changes
- Build a sustainable daily structure with less overload
- Reflect on what matters to you and which working conditions can change
- Plan real recovery and support instead of continuing beyond your limits
