Burnout often results from trying harder to combat stress without addressing the root cause. The stigma surrounding seeking help becomes a major barrier, leaving many trapped in exhaustion. Personal stories highlight the struggle between maintaining high achievement and the vulnerability of asking for support. Embracing help is crucial for recovery, with a focus on self-image to foster a supportive environment. Redefining success can pave the way to healing.
