Burnout & Self-Care Guides

Practical guides for recognising burnout, planning real rest, setting boundaries and rebuilding energy without adding more to your plate. Everything here is sourced from the World Health Organization, the NHS and the American Psychological Association, and most pages include a worksheet you can print or copy.

This is general information and printable self-care tools. It is not therapy, medical advice or crisis support, and it cannot diagnose burnout — the World Health Organization classifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress, not a medical condition. Burnout, depression and anxiety overlap closely, and telling them apart needs a qualified clinician. If you are struggling, speak to a doctor or therapist. If you are in England you can self-refer to NHS talking therapies; in the UK and Ireland Samaritans is free on 116 123; in the US call or text 988. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number now.
