Do you recognize this?

Maybe you've been feeling on edge lately. Your sleep is restless, and you notice you're more easily irritated. Your mind is racing, while your body seems to be protesting more and more. A tight feeling in your chest, pain in your neck or shoulders, or a deep exhaustion that just won’t go away. It’s as if your battery never fully recharges.

You do your best to get through the day, but everything feels just a little heavier than it should. It takes effort to focus. You forget appointments, start avoiding social situations, or find that even the simplest tasks are suddenly too much. And still, you push on. Because giving up doesn’t feel like an option, right?

What are the symptoms?

Tension-related complaints and burnout often develop gradually, as a result of prolonged mental and physical overload. Your nervous system stays stuck in “on” mode, preventing true recovery. You may notice this through symptoms like:

• Persistent fatigue, even after rest or a holiday

• Becoming easily overstimulated by sounds, light, or crowds

• Trouble concentrating, forgetfulness, or “brain fog”

• A restless, rushed feeling and difficulty relaxing

• Headaches, jaw tension, or neck and back pain

• Emotional ups and downs, such as crying or anger more easily

• Heart palpitations, shallow breathing, or chest pressure

• Sleep problems, including trouble falling asleep or waking unrested

• Loss of interest in socializing, work, or hobbies

• Feeling powerless or disconnected from your body

These symptoms can be deeply unsettling, especially when you start to feel more and more distant from the person you used to be.

Familiar situations

“My mind just won’t stop racing, even when I’m in bed.”
“I feel exhausted, even on days when I don’t do anything.”
“I want to feel better, but I don’t know where to start.”

If any of this sounds familiar, know that you're not alone. Tension-related issues and burnout are treatable, even if you’ve been struggling for a long time.

What causes it?

There is rarely a single cause. It’s usually a combination of factors, such as ongoing pressure at work, at home, or socially, high expectations of yourself, perfectionism, or ignoring your own limits. Your body sends signals, but you may have learned to suppress or overlook them—until things simply become too much.
