Burnout

Crisis of the successful

Nowadays the lifestyle we have in our professional as well as personal lives, creates new challenges and possibilities, but it also brings with it new problems. More and more people are feeling tired, exhausted or depressed. Science recognizes three fatigue conditions prevalent in our modern society among those in the workforce: persistent fatigue among employees, burnout, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
Research has been done on animals as well as athletes which shows that fatigue is an emotion that is created by the brain in order to protect the body from potential damage (caused by inappropriate physical load). The brain evaluates many physiological and psychological parameters (for example oxygenation, thirst, muscle soreness, certain blood parameters, emotional state, lack of sleep, visual feedback, knowledge level of the subject, level of motivation) and then, if the levels are critical, it creates the experience of fatigue. Burnout and CFS share similar symptoms and both are triggered by stress. The main difference is the cause of each disease: burnout is psychological and CFS is physical. And both these conditions are associated with a hypofunction of the HPA axis, the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis which is our central stress response system.

Burnout

Help and Treatment

The Rhine Westphalia Institute for Economic Research has found that it costs German companies € 9 million a year due to employees who are burned out or errors due to mental exhaustion and cannot handle their workload. And so it is not only compassion, but also strong economic calculus that pushes companies towards caring about burnout syndrome nowadays.

Get out of the victim role.

We must learn to look at each person and ourselves holistically. People are not just machines that run from morning till night in full swing.
How can I limit myself? How do I learn to say no? How do I deal with criticism? How do I deal with my desire for perfection? How can I have more time for my family and myself? The company also benefits from these things, because employees learn how to manage their lives and time better, thus leading to fewer sick days.
Nothing is more difficult and nothing requires more character than to be open with one’s self and to say, NO!

Burnout: the spiral

Burnout is a state of emotional exhaustion, de-personalization, and decreased sense of personal accomplishment, due to excessive workload or time pressures of a job. This state is caused not just by pressure, but the person effected by burnout also experiences being out of control, or having a variety of tasks, which are not under the control. It has been proven that these job demands correlate with feelings of exhaustion.
