[Burnout expert Arno] Van Dam observes that clinical burnout patients tend to suffer from an excess of perseverance, rather than the opposite: ‘Patients with clinical burnout…report that they ignored stress symptoms for several years,’ he writes. 'Living a stressful life was a normal condition for them. Some were not even aware of the stressfulness of their lives, until they collapsed.’ Instead of seeking help for workplace problems or reducing their workload, as most people do, clinical burnout sufferers typically push themselves through unpleasant circumstances and avoid asking for help. They’re also less likely to give up when placed under frustrating circumstances, instead throttling the gas in hopes that their problems can be fixed with extra effort. They become hyperactive, unable to rest or enjoy holidays, their bodies wired to treat work as the solution to every problem. It is only after living at this unrelenting pace for years that they tumble into severe burnout.
