Symptoms of Creative Burnout

  • Long-term procrastination and struggling with basic work
  • Constant exhaustion and inexplicable stress
  • Unhealthy comparisons and self-doubt
  • Unbalanced content consumption
  • Morning dread
  • Harmful habits and unusual irritability

  2. Many of these symptoms are associated with mental health conditions so it's best to talk to a professional.
