I read an article last week about 'quiet cracking' which is basically burnout. My work is super hectic at the moment and there are times when I go home completely wrecked and just stare at my phone - Is that burnout? I'm sure it's not good but I'm only in my 20s so it can't permanently damage me can it?

Im pretty mentally fried after work, but I try to make sure I do something other than get lost into my phone. I know it's hard, but I think that can make it worse sometimes. Serious burnout, for sure I reckon that could really take its toll. Nothing worse than feeling like a mouse on a wheel that rarely stops.
