BURNOUT
Feeling like things are becoming too much for you lately? Perhaps you're irritable and feel unappreciated, overworked and just need a break? You might be experiencing the symptoms of "burnout," a common phenomenon that affects just about everyone, if they don't take time to "smell the roses." We've put a few categories here, but that doesn't mean burnout is the exclusive domain of people in those professions. Anyone can experience burnout. If you're a parent, you certainly can feel the heavy burden of burnout.
What can you do about it? You're probably saying to yourself that Dr. Farrell really doesn't understand, she's never been there. It's my job, my home, my spouse, my income, my mortgage and it's all coming down on my head at once. Yes, I do understand because I'm in a group of the prime professions for burnout--the helping professions.
