1. Always be “on”

If it is difficult for you to relax, feel guilty during breaks, or believe you should be productive all the time, you may be mentally stuck in excess. This constant vigilance throws energy.

2. Emotional numbness

You attend the meetings and perform the tasks, but you feel emotionally disabled or blank. This is an ordinary early burning sign.

3. Long ride

Spending the clock every day can calmly add stress, leaving you exhausted before and after work.

4. The micro-strikes

Small things, such as incomprehensible guidance, bad connection and changes at the last minute, may not seem big, but over time they accumulate and wear you.

5. Pretending all is well

In the workplaces that tell about mental health, some employees feel pressure to look happy and calm, even if they are gone. This emotional masking increases stress.

6. No boundaries of working life

No matter what you work at home or in the office, responding to messages or e -mails during your work time may make your work day feel endless.

7. Perfection and overstretching

Effective employees often get more work. Perfectionists feel the need to always do everything possible that adds pressure and exhaustion.
