Self-Criticism or Feelings of Being a Failure
When living with dysthymia, a person who experiences job burnout may blame themselves and feel overwhelming hopelessness. Job burnout is commonly caused by an excessive workload, unattainable requirements from supervisors and missed deadlines. Dysthymia may add to the situation by causing a fear of failure and self-criticism.
It's important to talk with a mental health provider about the management of dysthymia symptoms. If the feelings lead to thoughts of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 to reach a local crisis center.4‘Know the Signs of Job Burnout.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 Nov. 2018, www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/burnout/art-20046642
