Dear reader, many Those affected by burnout are surprised by their collapse. Isa Hoffinger researched which warning signs you can use to determine whether you are at risk – and what helps you stay healthy: Anyone who has ever suffered from burnout knows that panic attacks are typical and seem to appear out of nowhere. In contrast to people with depressive symptoms, who usually suffer for a long time before seeking help, Those affected by burnout are usually surprised by their miserable condition. They have often learned to suppress their own needs; sometimes they do not even notice what is bothering them and what they need to feel better. “You show signs of interested self-endangerment”says industrial psychologist Ivon Ames, who is a member of the board of the Business Psychology Section of the Professional Association of German Psychologists. “This means that such people engage in behavior that sooner or later endangers their health,” says Ames, “such as not taking breaks or being willing to work a lot of overtime.”
