Here we have an extremely ironic question in a year when work has been scarce or at least extremely irregular (as it happens, I am currently swamped with work). Since burnout can be linked to depression, perhaps that is the reason behind the question, and it is referring to burnout due to lack of work...

It might be less ironic than you think. People working for ridiculous rates might work themselves to death to earn enough.

Some people might consider the poll question a bit intrusive. Maybe it is so to wake us up.
According to the WHO:
“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:
- feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
- increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism... See more Some people might consider the poll question a bit intrusive. Maybe it is so to wake us up.
According to the WHO:
“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:
- feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
- increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
- reduced professional efficacy.
The WHO entry continues:
“Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”
Burn-out was also included in ICD-10, in the same category as in ICD-11, but the definition is now more detailed.
The World Health Organization is about to embark on the development of evidence-based guidelines on mental well-being in the workplace.”
To me, this exhaustion is not related to depression, clinical or otherwise. ▲ Collapse

I think that it was because I am more aware of the things that make me feel stressed and anxious. One of them, working really hard to get some money.
I try to study and meeting clients that can pay my rates for my quality services without working so hard to get some money.
Another reason, I love what I am doing, I am a language teacher by heart with many creative ideas to give my classes.
