The first thing you need to notice is whether you have become pessimistic or critical of your work of late. Second, do you have to drag yourself out of your bed to get ready for work every day and you are hoping for your shift to end even before it starts? Third, do you lately feel snappy or irritated with your coworkers, or do constant meetings, deadlines, and presentations make you feel irritated? Are you constantly having medicine or food to feel better or simply to avoid the boredom of the job that you are doing? Last but not least, if you have changed sleeping habits or your bowel patterns have changed and you are suffering from unexplained headaches then you might be suffering from acute job burnout and need help from a counselor.
