While the three points above could be a sign that you’re edging towards burnout, they could also be a sign that you might be dealing with a more serious mental health issue. Always seek professional advice if you’re worried about your mental health and wellbeing.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling with their mental health or emotional wellbeing, you can find support and resources on the mental health charity Mind’s website and NHS Every Mind Matters or access the NHS’ guide to local mental health helplines and organisations here.

If you are struggling, you can also ask your GP for a referral to NHS Talking Therapies, or you can self-refer.

You can also call the Samaritans in the UK on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org for confidential support.
