Burnout is neither laziness nor weakness Karaganda Saule works with people in helping professions — those whose job requires them to be attentive to others. She often hears that "it feels shameful to complain" when there is work, family and, apparently, everything is fine. It is precisely that "apparently" she unpacks. Her main tool is distinction: tiredness passes after rest, depletion does not. In her materials for the site she explains how to notice the shift between those states and why asking for help does not cancel self-reliance.
