Burnout

• Stress, perfectionism, and overthinking had led me to burnout

• To maintain the standard and to live up to the expectations

• Difficult to focus, study and to be as driven as I was before

• Plans were all over the place and started to feel meaningless in everything I do

• Long period of stress that triggers exhaustion, hate emotion towards something that one used to be passionate about and low level of motivations (Scott, 2022)

• Exhaustion

• Over-usage of one’s emotional and physical resources (Maslach & Leiter, 2016)

• Feels drained and used up, with no energy to carry out their day

• Cynicism = detached feeling towards one’s life, job and things that they were passionate about - coping method to the overwhelming stress and workload
