omg sorry, school has hit me like a TRUCK my god i am ready for this semester to be over HOWEVER i think that means i am best equipped to answer this right now bc i have been a huge victim of burnout lately

im gonna do headcannons for this because that is my bread and butter

So yes, I definitely agree, Shane knows burnout when he sees it. He is a lot more observant than he gives himself credit for and when he notices that you're starting to take less and less care of yourself, he really starts to worry

He wouldn't really know what to do at first, in the past he dealt with his burnouts in.. less than healthy ways and while he is slowly getting better now, he's unsure of the best way to help you

I know that when I'm burnt out my room gets MESSY and i neglect eating so let's imagine he stops by one day to check on you and sees your house in absolute disarray

again, he knows this. he's been this. and it kills him that you're feeling this too

I think he would take it upon himself to do whatever he could to try and make your life easier, so while you're laying in bed (and if you're anything like me you would try to fight any kind of help but he's not leaving you like this. he wants to help.) he would start with tidying up the place. clothes in the hamper, running laundry, putting dishes in the dishwasher- i personally don't imagine him as the cleanest person in the world (I think he's a bit messy but not like, filthy BIG difference) but by the time you walk into your living room it's like night and day

I also think he's a decent cook so either he would try and cook you something or he'd try and persuade Gus to cook one of your favorites and bring it back for you

I also think he would hold you, if you wanted. let you cling to him and squeeze him as hard as you'd like he doesn't really mind. (I think a shane hug would literally solve MOST of my problems)

He would try to offer comforting words but he's a little awkward and doesn't want to say something wrong so as he rubs circles on your back he'd mutter things like "I'm here darlin'" , or "let it out, it's okay." I don't think he'd try to push you to feel better because he knows it's not as easy as that, he just wants you to know that he's here for you and you're safe with him

if you struggle with things like hygiene when you're burnt out then I 100% think that he would have zero qualms with helping you there. stink and bodily fluids don't phase him in the slightest he would just be honored that you trust him enough to help with that.

He'd also take up farm work too, he'd make sure the animals are still getting taken care of and crops are being watered

He does understand burn out and he knows that life can get kind of unpleasant sometimes but it still hurts him to see you like that. he wants you to know how appreciated you are and how much he loves and cares about you and he would never complain or show any kind of irritation if you're feeling low energy and not particularly happy, Shane really thinks of himself as your partner and you've done things for him that (in his mind) he can't thank you enough for so he wants to help you like this, he's a long haul kind of guy

Burnout is so real but im hoping we can all get some rest soon! Hopefully these are comforting i could rlly use a Shane in my life rn lol
