Here are some of the SUPER weird symptoms people don’t always connect with burnout 🔽 ——— Hi, I’m Sasha 👋 Together with a doctor, I’m building Anticipate App to help you get rid of burnout and these symptoms. 1. Get it on the App Store 2. Sync your Apple Health (it's private & secure) 3. Track your patterns and get daily prompts to help you slow down and prioritise rest when you need it most. ——— 1. Feeling like you’re not completely real. 2. Feeling dizzy even when you’re standing still. 3. Heart palpitations while doing absolutely nothing. 4. Never getting a satisfying deep breath. 5. Weird pressure or tightness in your head. 6. Nausea, reflux, bloating or suddenly losing your appetite. 7. Trembling hands, muscle twitches or internal vibrating. 8. Forgetting basic words halfway through a sentence. 9. Waking up at 3am feeling completely alert. 10. Ringing, buzzing or pulsing in your ears. 11. Clenching your jaw without realising it. 12. Feeling exhausted but physically unable to relax. 13. Sweating when you’re not hot or exercising. 14. Random skin flare-ups, itching or hives. 15. Feeling like your throat is tight or swallowing feels strange. The strange thing about burnout is that you can still look completely fine from the outside. You’re working. Answering messages. Getting things done. Meanwhile, your body can be showing you that it’s under far more pressure than you realise. “OKAY, BUT I CAN’T JUST REMOVE ALL THE STRESS FROM MY LIFE.” You probably can’t. But you can: • start noticing what makes your symptoms worse • reduce the stressors you can control • make recovery something you actively PROTECT instead of waiting until you crash That’s exactly why I’m building Anticipate. Get “Anticipate” on the App Store. 🤍 #burnout #chronicstress #burnoutprevention #MentalHealth #mentalhealthmatters
