You’re Not Broken — This Is Burnout’s Hidden Pattern

Описание: You’re not broken — burnout often follows a hidden pattern that many people don’t recognize until they’re already exhausted. Burnout isn’t just feeling tired or stressed. It shows up through persistent fatigue, emotional exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, brain fog, physical symptoms, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

In this video, registered psychologist Sara Zeldenrust explains how burnout actually shows up in the mind and body, especially for high-functioning people who keep pushing through, taking responsibility for others, and telling themselves they should be able to handle it.

You’ll learn:

Early and subtle signs of burnout many people miss

Why rest doesn’t help when burnout is present

How chronic stress affects the nervous system

Emotional exhaustion, irritability, numbness, and withdrawal

Trouble focusing, decision fatigue, and declining performance

Physical symptoms of burnout like headaches, tension, stomach issues, and fatigue

Why overworking and coping crutches can be warning signs


Burnout can look like still functioning — going to work, caring for others, getting things done — while feeling drained, disconnected, or overwhelmed underneath. This video helps you recognize burnout with compassion, not self-blame.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, emotionally flat, or stuck in survival mode, this video is a starting point for awareness. You don’t have to fix everything today. Noticing the pattern is the first step.

This channel focuses on burnout education, stress management, nervous system regulation, and small, sustainable steps toward recovery.
