Am I a burnout?

Well, I took a burnout quiz at iVillage, and my results are:

Your score indicates that you have many signs of burnout.

People who score in this range sometimes have a hard time coping with the demands of daily life. They often feel overwhelmed. They often have little energy and are unable to manage stress, have a difficult time sleeping and have many somatic complaints.

People who score in this range are not usually able to set realistic and attainable goals for themselves. They can be pessimistic about their work and future. They often are unable to relax and enjoy their down time. They have a very difficult time separating work life and home life.

People who score in this range are not always able to control and recognize their feelings or act upon them appropriately They sometimes have a hard time learning from their mistakes. They often are unable to have compassion and respect for other people. They can feel isolated and alone.

People who score in this range can be excellent workers. However, because of their desire to get ahead they often take on too much work and responsibility. They can become so overwhelmed that they lose their focus and are not able to do their best work. They can become confused about what is expected of them and become distressed when they feel they are not living up to assumed expectations. They can become bitter, angry, and resentful.
