當前是一個忙碌、快節奏的世界，大家有很多要做的事和要去的地方；我們在情感和精神上會被各種各樣的事情困擾，以至於影響了工作效率和人際關係…如果出現15個跡象，那就說明你真的累了。

第一：你總是感到疲憊不堪

這裡說的疲憊與你常規的疲勞不同，當你經歷這種疲憊時，無論你睡了多久，起床都會像一項艱鉅的任務。你會感到精疲力盡，即使是最小的東西似乎也會很重，要提起一點力氣去做哪怕是最平凡的事情幾乎都是不可能的。上次感受到快樂的時候？你幾乎記不起來了！你唯一想做的事情就是“什麼都不做”。你甚至不關心那些讓你快樂的事情。

第二：你睡不著

除了不斷的疲憊，失眠也是精神和情感耗竭的一種可怕表現。當你有太多的壓力它會擾亂你的身體，你發現你的夜晚漫長又難熬，並且這隻會進一步增加你的疲憊。你總是很累，但你又睡不著。你躺在床上盯著天花板，想著所有讓你感到有壓力的事情。最終，當你快要睡著的時候，一些令人擔憂的想法突然浮現在腦海中，你又再次清醒了。你得不到需要的休息，這種迴圈會讓你越來越精疲力盡，一夜又一夜。

第三：你很容易生氣

你會發現即便是一件很小的事也會影響到你，你會很快的失去耐心，你對所有事情的看法都變的消極。可能是一句諷刺的話，可能是配偶的壞習慣，甚至是天氣，似乎一切都會讓你心煩意亂。你的日常生活變得很艱難，你感到你正在失去控制，並且這隻會讓你更惱火。

第四：你的健康出了問題

疲憊會影響你整個身體，當你極度疲憊的時候，你的身體就不能正常運作。你會頻繁頭痛，關節痛還有心悸，你感到頭暈和噁心，你可能會發現自己咬緊牙關或者呼吸困難。這些症狀是你的身體面對持續壓力產生的正常反應。長期的慢性壓力會對你的健康產生嚴重的負面影響，並且這隻會越來越糟。直到你解決了導致它的問題。

第五：你很容易就哭

When you are completely exhausted any stress you experience, feels more intense. You become very sensitive to everything to the point where even small things can make you feel like crying. You’re not able to effectively deal with challenges that come your way, and you break down each time, you feel incapable of dealing with them. Other people’s words and actions really hit you hard, and you may find yourself breaking down and crying in front of friends and even strangers. Same goes when you hear something tragic in the news. You just can’t keep it together.

當你精疲力盡的時候，任何壓力都會讓你感覺更強烈。你變得對所有的事情都非常敏感，即使是很小的事情也會讓你有想哭的衝動。你無法有效的應對你面臨的挑戰，你每次都會崩潰，你覺得自己沒有能力去解決這些。別人的言行對你打擊很大，你可能會發現自己在朋友甚至陌生人面前崩潰大哭。當你在新聞中聽到一些悲慘的事情時也會這樣。你就是無法控制自己。

Number Six

You’re Not Taking Care of Yourself

第六：你不在乎自己

When suffering from emotional and mental exhaustion you are more likely to engage in unhealthy coping strategies. Perhaps you rely on sleeping pills or resort to alcohol at the end of each day to help with the stress, or you drink more coffee to help you gather the energy just make it into work in the morning. Maybe you’ve started a regular bingeof unhealthy foods or you’re not taking care of your appearance the way you normally would.

當你經歷情緒和精神疲憊時，你更有可能陷入一些不健康的應對策略。可能你會依賴安眠藥，或者在每天晚上喝酒來應對那些壓力，或者你每天早上工作前都會喝更多的咖啡來幫助你集中精神。也許你已經開始吃大量不健康的食物，或者你不再像往常那樣在乎你的外表。

Number Seven

You’re Procrastinating a Lot More

第七：更嚴重的拖延症

Everyone procrastinates a little bit every now and then, and this is normal. But when you find yourself procrastinating all day long, every day, this is a clear indicator that you are struggling to cope with things you need to get down. You even find yourself procrastinating over things you enjoy doing or things you’d normally do quickly and easily.

每個人都會時不時的拖延一下，這沒什麼。但當你發現自己一整天並且每一天都在拖延的話，這就是一個明確的指出你正在掙扎著應對你需要完成的事情的標誌。你甚至發現自己在喜歡的事情上或者是你通常可以快速輕鬆完成的事情上也會拖延。

Number Eight

You’re Extremely Self-Critical

第八：極端的自我批評

There are usually two voices inside our head, there’s the critical voice and then the compassionate voice. Our critical voice helps us reach our potential while our compassionate voice helps to level things out and create balance. But when you’re emotionally and mentally exhausted, there’s a problem. Your compassionate voice is silenced, while your critical voice becomes more and more dominant.

在我們的大腦裡通常有兩種聲音。批評的聲音和富有同情心的聲音。批評的聲音有助於我們發揮潛力，富有同情心的聲音幫助我們釐清事實、創造平衡。但是當你的情緒和精神都很疲憊時就出現問題了。富有同情心的聲音歸於沉寂，而批評的聲音變得越來越有主導性。

Number Nine

You Start to Feel Detached

第九：開始遊離

There’s actually a point you can reach where if you’ve been burning out for long enough. All of your feelings start to go away. The good and bad. At this point, you feel like you don’t feel anything at all. Whatever you’re dealing with has drained you to the point where you don’t feel emotions toward anything the way you normally would, and you no longer look forward to anything. It’s like you’ve given up on everything and everyone. You feel completely disconnected from people, sometimes even yourself.

如果你已經燃燒了足夠長的時間那麼你就會感受到這一點。好的壞的都是如此。在這種情況下，你會覺得自己沒有任何感覺。無論你在做什麼都會讓你覺得疲憊不堪。以至於你不會像往常那樣對任何事產生情緒，你也不再期待什麼。就好像你放棄了所有事和所有人。你覺得與人完全脫離，有時甚至與自身完全脫離。

Number Ten

Tour Telationships are Starting to Suffer

第十：人際關係受到影響

As you become more stressed, you may find yourself communicating negatively with others. You may notice that people are keeping their distance from you to avoid conflict, as you are becoming more argumentative and negative about everything. It’s also possible that you are withdrawing yourself from the world, wanting to be alone. While it’s normal to sometimes experience negative emotions, you need to recognize when these emotions get in the way of your well-being and start to have an effect on others around you. The last thing you want to do is chase your friends and family away, especially since they are the ones who are there to help you get through tough times like this.

隨著你的壓力越來越大，你可能會發現自己與他人的交流很消極。你可能會注意到人們與你保持距離來避免衝突，因為你變得對任何事情都越來越愛爭論和消極。也有可能是你正在把自己從這個世界中抽離，想要獨自一個人。雖然有時經歷負面情緒是很正常的，但你仍然需要意識到什麼時候這些情緒會阻礙你的健康並開始影響你周圍的人。你最不想做的事就是把你的朋友和家人趕走，尤其是他們才是幫助你渡過難關的人。

Number Eleven

You’re Experiencing Confusion

十一：正在經歷困惑

Chronic stress can get in the way of your ability to make decisions and solve problems, it affects your ability to pay attention and concentrate. Some signs that indicate you are under major mental strain include: forgetting things like names, assignment, or appointments. At this point, there are way too many things happening and the stress is overwhelming you. Little things are starting to feel like big things.

長期的壓力會阻礙你做出決定和解決問題的能力，也會影響你集中注意力的能力。一些跡象表明你正處於嚴重的精神壓力下，包括：忘記一些事情，像是名字，作業或者約會。在這一點上，有太多的事情發生，並且壓力會碾壓你。小事也開始變得像大事一樣。

Number Twelve

You’re Feeling Anxious More Often

十二：頻繁的焦慮感

Small things that you never think twice about now have you worrying and make you anxious. You find yourself having anxious attacks on a daily basis. Because you are so mentally and emotionally exhausted, little things can easily cause anxiety. It could be a knock on the door, a phone call or even a text message. And especially someone trying to contact you to do something.

你從來不會考慮再三的小事如今也會使你擔心焦慮。你發現自己每天都有焦慮發作，因為你的情緒和精神都很疲憊，小事也很容易引起焦慮。可能是敲門聲，一個電話甚至是一則簡訊。尤其是有人想聯絡你做什麼的時候。

Number Thirteen

You’re Losing Motivation

十三：失去動力

There was a time when you were ready to take on the world, but you’re no longer the focused and disciplined person you once were. These days you don’t even have the motivation to get started. Your once clean and organized home is now a complete mess, things are starting to pile up and your job performance is on a downward spiral. Simple tasks suddenly seem like major projects, and you lack the creativity and thought process to successfully complete anything.

曾經有一段時間你準備好迎接這個世界，但你已經不再是從前那個專注自律的人了。現在，你甚至沒有動力去開始做什麼。你曾經整潔有序的家現在變得一團糟，事情開始堆積起來，而你的工作表現正在下降。簡單的任務突然變成了大專案，而你缺乏成功完成任何事情所需的創造力和思維過程。

Number Fourteen

You Don’t Laugh Any More

十四：不再有笑容

This is such a small thing, yet it’s actually such a big thing. If you’re emotionally and mentally exhausted, you don’t laugh a lot. In fact, months go by without you having good laugh. Nothing seems fun or funny, and worse,you may even begin to resent people who seem to be enjoying life.

這是一件很小的事，卻也是很大的一件事。如果你的情緒和精神都精疲力盡了，你就不怎麼笑了。事實上你可能幾個月過去了都沒有開懷大笑過。似乎沒有什麼是有趣的，更糟的是，你甚至可能開始憎恨那些看起來很享受生活的人。

Number Fifteen

You Start to Feel Hopeless

十五：開始絕望

When you lack motivation to do things it can lead to a sense of hopelessness. You may feel that even if you work on something or try to improve the situation, there’s no point because nothing good will come of it. This is a rough place to be! You feel like things will never change, and you only focus on the difficulties you are experiencing which brings more negative thoughts and feelings. All of this focus on negativity weight you down so much that you forget about the positive things in your life.

當你缺乏動力去做什麼的時候，它會導致一種絕望的感覺。你可能會覺得，即使你做某件事或試圖改善現狀也沒什麼用，因為根本不會有好事發生。這是個艱苦的地方！你覺得事情永遠不會改變，你只注意到你正在經歷的困難，而這會帶來更多的負面想法和感覺。所有這些對消極的關注會讓你不堪重負，以至於你忘記了生活中積極的事情。
