If you’re getting through the day but feeling disconnected, drained, or numb — it may be a sign to check in with yourself.

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic

Emotional exhaustion can build slowly, especially if you’re used to staying strong for others. You might still show up, complete your tasks, and smile when needed — but inside, everything feels flat. Joy fades, rest doesn’t help, and you may feel like you’re just going through the motions. These patterns are easy to ignore until they start affecting your well-being. A mental health self-assessment won’t define you, but it can help you recognize whether you’ve reached a point of burnout. That awareness may be the first step to finding your way back to yourself.
