When you know you are burning out but can't pull back

I can feel myself burning out. I told myself I'd leave at five this week, and I even packed my bag. Then the emails kept coming and a voice said the team needs you, and I sat back down. Every time I try to step back, the guilt and the pile of work drag me right back to my desk.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You can see you're burning out, but guilt and the workload keep pulling you back in.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
