Burnout isn’t reserved for people with twenty-year careers. First jobs, demanding studies and side hustles can wear anyone down, especially when rest feels like something you have to earn.

The signs people miss

Constant tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix, feeling cynical about things you used to care about, and a sense that nothing you do is ever enough.

Where to start

Talk about it with someone you trust, look at what can actually move in your schedule, and consider getting support before you hit the wall.
