Signs of Emotional Burnout

You’re doing all the things—keeping life moving, supporting others, holding it all together.

But lately, it’s been getting harder to ignore how tired you feel.

Maybe you’ve started snapping at people you care about…

Maybe the things that usually help aren’t helping anymore…

Maybe you’re not even sure how long you’ve been feeling this way.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It might be emotional burnout.

What Is Emotional Burnout?

Burnout isn’t just physical exhaustion. It’s the emotional toll of giving so much of yourself for so long that there’s nothing left in the tank.

It can sneak up on you—especially when you’re the one everyone else relies on.

And the truth is: burnout isn’t a personal failure.

It’s a signal from your body and mind that something needs care.

Signs You Might Be Experiencing Emotional Burnout:

You feel emotionally numb, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself

Everyday tasks feel overwhelming, no matter how small

You’re constantly in “go” mode but can’t seem to rest

You’ve lost interest in things that once brought you joy

You feel irritable, anxious, or like you’re running on autopilot

Your body is tense, tired, or holding onto stress

Why Emotional Burnout Is So Common—Especially for Women

So many women carry invisible workloads—managing homes, relationships, caregiving, and careers while rarely pausing to check in with themselves.

You might be the one everyone leans on.

But who’s supporting you?

That’s where therapy can help.
