💬 Comment "BURNOUT" for a guide on setting boundaries to help avoid burnout.
Stress and burnout can look similar, but they're not the same.
âš¡ Stress often feels like too much: too many tasks, too much pressure, too many demands. You may still feel like you can push through.
🪫 Burnout feels like not enough: not enough energy, motivation, or emotional capacity to keep going. It can leave you feeling exhausted, detached, and overwhelmed.
Recognizing the signs early can help you make changes before stress turns into burnout.
