Anxiety & StressThe Difference Between Stress, Anxiety, and Burnout
Sometimes we use the words stress, anxiety, and burnout like they all mean the same thing. They don't. And while I understand the temptation to label every hard season as "I'm just stressed," that catch-all phrase can gloss over what is actually happening beneath the surface. If we don't understand what we're carrying, it becomes much harder to respond to ourselves with care, clarity, and the right kind of support. Stress, anxiety, and burnout can overlap. They can feed each other. They can all leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, disconnected, and not quite like yourself. But they are not interchangeable, and your nervous system knows the difference even when your calendar doesn't.
