Emotional exhaustion doesn’t just affect your mental health — it can also impact your focus and safety at work. Look out for these signs:  
Constant tiredness, even after rest
Irritability or mood swings
Trouble focusing or forgetfulness
Feeling detached or withdrawn
Lack of motivation or interest
Difficulty sleeping or poor-quality sleep
Physical symptoms (headaches, stomach issues, body aches)
Feeling overwhelmed or hopeless

Recognizing these symptoms early—whether in yourself or others—can help prevent bigger struggles down the road. Confidential support is available through the EAP and Mental Health Services.
