Burnout Counseling for Feeling Drained and Overextended

Feeling exhausted, overworked, or like your life is moving too fast? If your workload is overwhelming, motivation is low, or daily responsibilities leave you depleted, counseling for burnout can help you restore balance, focus, and clarity. 

How Do You Know You’re Burned Out?

 

Burnout shows up in ways that can sneak up on you. You might notice:

  • Persistent exhaustion—even after sleep or time off.

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.

  • Feeling detached or disengaged from work, responsibilities, or hobbies you once enjoyed.

  • Physical tension, headaches, or changes in appetite or sleep.

  • Frustration, irritability, or feeling like nothing you do is enough.

  • Avoiding tasks or responsibilities because the effort feels too heavy.

Burnout isn’t just stress—it’s a state where your mind and body are overloaded, and the usual strategies of “just work harder” no longer help. Recognizing it is the first step toward recovery.

Many People Feel This Way—And You’re Seen

Do you avoid tasks because they feel impossible to finish?
Are you drained at the end of the day, with little left for yourself, your friends, or hobbies?
Do you feel disconnected from your work or like you’re just going through the motions?

Burnout happens when the demands of work, home, or life exceed the energy and resources you have available. Feeling worn out, unmotivated, or detached doesn’t mean you’re failing—it’s a signal that you need support and strategies that actually work.
