Drained and Detached: Is It Burnout or Just Stress?
I am 30 years old and work as a project manager at a marketing firm. For the past six months, I have been feeling constantly drained, even after a full night's sleep. My workload has increased significantly due to staff shortages, and I often find myself working late and on weekends. I have started to dread Monday mornings and feel a sense of detachment from my colleagues and the projects I used to enjoy. I also experience frequent headaches and have trouble concentrating. I am worried that this is more than just stress and might be burnout. Can you help me understand the difference and suggest some relaxation techniques that might help me cope before it gets worse?
