Do I Have Compassion Fatigue or Burnout? - Abbey Watkins

Do I have compassion fatigue or burnout?

Answer these questions about the last two weeks. Scores highlight likely patterns of compassion fatigue, burnout, or a mix. Use results as a starting point for reflection and support conversations.

1. I support people who face stress, trauma, or strong distress.

2. I feel emotionally drained after supporting others.

3. I relive stories or images from others long after contact.

4. I feel numb or distant when someone shares distress.

5. Work or caring roles leave me exhausted most days.

6. Tasks feel heavy and hard to start.

7. I feel irritable or short tempered a lot of the time.

8. I think about leaving my role or stepping back often.

This quiz offers general information and reflection prompts, not diagnosis. For strong distress, contact a GP, local mental health services, or a trusted helpline. For urgent risk, contact emergency services or crisis support in your area.

Your well-being is my priority. I’ll support you in making the right choices to improve both your physical and mental health. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you achieve lasting results.
