What do you do when you start to feel "All Burned Out" regarding your job, and life in general?

Boy, I think we all get to that point at times. I hear ya and empathize. I've found when I feel one of those moods coming on, I tell myself.. This "mood" is entirely up to me, I can CHOOSE to be miserable and make others miserable OR I can CHOOSE to be upbeat and let things slide off my shoulders for another day.. What would ya rather do today?  Sometimes, it's grudgingly, but I opt for the upbeat choice. Another thing is to set a NEW goal in life, whether it be work or your personal life and get excited about it.\n\n\nP.S.  Being able to bring a smile to others is a gift that should be shared often by us all and the doom n gloom we sometimes feel does not in anyway fix our situations, so consider it a waste of time.

I always try to stick it out for a year, but if you are truely unhappy and there are no changes to job that can make you happy then it's not a bad idea to call it quits.  If there are things in your work environment that need to be changed, talk to your boss and see what can happen.  It never hurts to ask. Don't forget to give at least a 2 week notice and ALWAYS have another job lined up before you quit your first one.

I tried to change my mind, once.  But when I took it out to put in another one, I fainted.  \nI guess you feel that YOU spend too much time on this site.\nAs for myself, well instead of complaining about being out of work, I tried to find a job.  I felt quite productive, thank you.

Everybody gets burned out whether your in college or on the job. I just want you to know how proud I am of you. These next 2 years are going to fly. Enjoy it while you can. Set daily goals and give yourself a break once in a while. You'll get through it. I was the same way when I was in college. I am so glad I stuck it out. I have a really good job and a wonderful home to come home to. Think of your future and what your education will give you.

I'm currently dealing with the same things.  It got so bad for me that I had to take time off from work.  What I find helps is to see my dr on a regular basis, and I go see a psycologist also, just to talk and help to get things out and deal with them.  I started keeping a journal again.  Just write, don't think about what you are writing, just write. Its amazing what actually comes out when you don't think about the words.  \nTry taking a nice warm bath, play some relaxing music, light a candle, and just relax.  Slow deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth.  I mix in some lavendar oil with my bath, its very relaxing.  \nTry taking a walk, not a quick run/walk, just a stroll.  Try to enjoy the beauty thats around you, because no matter where you are theres something beautiful.  That helps me to think positive, since in depression  you dont want to be a positive person.  \nTake any medications the dr gives to you.  In time, the majority of them will help.  Only you're doctor can determine which is right for you.  I am on several right now, and I am noticing a difference in myself. \nSurround yourself by friends and family, granted that they aren't the one causing you anxiety.  Talk, and listen to what they have to say.  Enjoy a cup of decaff herbal tea.  Limit your caffiene intake, since it can make your anxiety worse.  \nTry taking up a hobby or craft to keep your hands busy.  I have been doing plastic canvas work, and its helping me keep busy, and when I feel stressed or anxious, I work on my project until the feeling passes.  I have also been trying to read.  it helps me relax also. \nI hope this helped, its whats been getting me through the last few weeks.  Good luck to you!

Ask for added responsibilities.  That's what I had to do, now I have too much on my plate, but don't dare complain.  And if all else fails, start looking for another job in a different vocation, and you don't have to quit to do this.  You can look online for jobs, in newspapers when home in the evenings, or when at stores look at bulletin boards.  I'm trying that myself, only because my added responsibilities are becoming monotonous too now that I'm used to doing them.

WELL YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.  YOU SEEM A LITTLE DEPRESSED ALSO, LIKE YOU HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING, BUT WHAT YOU DONT REALIZE IS YOU HAVE PROBABLY DONE A LOT MORE THAN MANY OTHERS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD...YOU NEED TO LOOK DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF AND FIND SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.  I SUGGEST VOLUNTEER WORK WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU.  THAT WOULD BE A GREAT START!  AND AS FAR AS A JOB GOES...YOU GOTTA PAY THE BILLS SO WHAT IF YOU DONT LOVE YOUR JOB RIGHT NOW...STOP WHINING ABOUT IT AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG...YOU ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF US....NO ONE IS EVER 100% HAPPY ALL THE TIME...YOU NEED TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH LIFE'S LITTLE CURVE-BALLS AND MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY!!

What're you stressed out about? When that happens to me I burn off the extra "energy" by exercise - just doing something to take my mind of the stressful situation! I take walks, ride my bike . . . . I've even ended up house cleaning!

Take a deep breath first off....\n\nTry finding ways to relieve stress that you can incorporate into your life (try those stress relief body washes in the shower or bath (if bath light candles and turn lights off too) \n\nI dunno what your job is, but if you can find ways to exercise while working you can relieve stress too, look up chair exercises if you sit at a desk, if youa re standing all day find ways to do leg or arm exercises, if you can take a brisk walk on your break or lunch hour (maybe through a park) get a bit of sunshine too its a natural mood booster

I was out of work for a while and it was awful. I was so broke and so bored. I hope you will find something soon. Just don't give up and start hanging out. That is the slow road to more unhappiness.

When you no longer challenged or learning, or there is some other issue that outweighs the benefits of your job.\n\nThe first thing I would try is making changes with-in my current job, that will make it more fulfilling.  If making changes, like volunteering for new and challenging tasks, does not improve your outlook about your position it is time to move on.\n\nUnless your sanity is at stake or you have a large amount of savings, you should have something lined up when you leave your job.

Write a nice letter to your boss, then go in and give it to him/her and sit down and have a chat. Explain how much you've enjoyed working with them but say that, as in life generally, sometimes you have to move on. Keep it friendly and stress what a good boss they have been and how much you have learned. Also offer to help with recruitment for your replacement. It's very hard and I've been in the same position - you feel personally responsible for letting them down - but try not to feel like that. It is only a job after all. Good luck and enjoy your new job!

I would consider going back to your old job.  I worked in the same exact kind of environment you have at your new job and it was HORRIBLE!!  I literally was taking antidepressants and saw my doctor on a regular basis.  I finally decided to take a "buy out" from the company.  After about a month I started to feel alot better.  I was able to stop taking the meds and I now only go to my doctor once a year or if I am sick with the flu.  I am now making 2/3 of what I use to make but I am a whole lot happier!   I hope this helps!

Go to bed and get a good night's sleep, then go talk to someone about how you feel. Change your life: get a new job, move hosue, start doing different things on weekends (like go to bars instead of clubs etc etc). Just try to make your life interesting again.

I need a break when nothing makes sense anymore.\nAnd when the break is over... i don't feel refreshed (or maybe just  a little) but mostly I'm angry that the break is over.

Say that you are feeling unwell and it's stopping you from being able to concentrate on your job.
