What Burnout Really Feels Like
Burnout isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign you’ve been running on empty for too long.
Burnout.
It doesn’t hit you out of the blue.
It crawls in shadows, slowly and quietly.
And when you have an odd feeling… you try to ignore it at first.
Just one more project. I can handle this. This is what your inner voice is saying to you.
But then suddenly, you’re staring at a mess. Something you can’t wipe away.
I’ve been a graphic designer for decades now.
I used to love the work. Turning blank canvases into creative designs brought me joy. But when burnout hit, even the simplest tasks became impossible.

The Weight You Can’t Put Down
Burnout is heavy.
Each project you do is like carrying a heavy boulder on your shoulders.
If a client requests changes, you usually know you can fix them.
