I really just need to talk about this to someone. I’m in college and I’ve always loved to learn, but now I don’t feel motivated do my school work or to study, but at the same time, when a test roles around and I don’t know how to answer the questions I get stressed and care about trying to do well. I’ve also always beaten myself over the head about having good grades, my parents never had to push me to do good in school. I’m just so stressed about it, the semester is ending soon, and I’m scared I’m gonna fail 2 classes which will be then first time I’ve ever failed a class.
Apologies for the pithy remark; but if you have to ask yourself if it’s burnout, then it’s probably burnout.
That is not to say that it can’t also be other things too, in my experience burnout is usually accompanied by depression and an excess of work stress.
