I think it happens when I知 overwhelmed, too tired, stressed, etc.
It makes me question myself, and the truth is I get to a place where I can稚 trust my own eyes, thought process, intelligence, and so on. I guess I have a condition that flares up, and I知 afraid people will see it and think (know) I am (or can be) an idiot.
I think I知 usually competent? But I知 not sure. I think about the times I致e been ridiculed. I try not to take myself too seriously, but this feels like something deep I have a hard time controlling. I知 wound tight.
My ego is wounded perhaps. All I know is my stomach keeps burning about work. Perpetual fear of doing something wrong, stupid, or not measuring up.
I can believe how I became this vulnerable, as I did have a number of hurdles and scares, aside from my stress job.
I just can稚 stop feeling bad about myself in my work capacity. I get so upset with myself when I知 not bright!

your title question is burn out an emotion answer yes.
burnout is a special kind of physical and emotional exhaustion, usually the term is associated with professionals / long term careers persons. examples teachers, physicians, therapists, psychiatrists, nurses... people who have to take on helping others solve their mental and physical health problems while at the same time keeping their own issues bottled up or under wraps so that their own issues dont affect their clients.
its extremely draining physically and mentally on people in long term careers to have to set their own lives separate from their clients in order to treat their clients mental and physical health issues or teach or what ever the profession that requires one to hold their own lives separate from the client.
symptoms of burn out are similar but different at the same time as depression -
fatigue (physical and mental) / lack of energy,
moody, rage, anxiety,
sleep deprived,
job expectation stress and anxiety,
migraines/ headaches
ulcers/ stomach aches
and more
all these mental and physical health issues that a career person dealing with the public has to keep from their clients adds up and one day the career person calls in to work because just trying to get out of bed is physically and mentally close to impossible. they are just drained of all their energy, and will to go out there and help others that they are ready to throw in the towel.
if the burnout isnt treated it can lead to major health problems like stroke, diabetes, alcohol, drugs and suicide.
most professions understand about burn out and require the career person to have their own mental and physical health treatment providers.
example mental health therapists in the USA are usually required to have their own mental health treatment providers and attend to their own therapy and physical health treatment plans, and the first few years to be under close supervision of a job supervisor and the state board to ensure the treatment provider has a support network they can depend upon to help guide them with their job, job stress and so forth.
If you feel you are going through "burnout" please contact your treatment providers, they can help you get into specialized treatment plans for this very special kind of problem.
