My experience with burnout is that it's almost identical to worry, with a sense of not feeling "good enough". I've had the feeling of burnout from being the sole sysadmin and devops at an HFT firm. An identical feeling happened during a streak of rational paranoia (I discussed it with my doc who agreed that it was rational, fwiw) during the final and post stages of a lawsuit for Chicago's mayor's phone records. The not-feeling-good enough there came from having to constantly convince others that the work was worth it. Burnout sucks, but the more near-overwhelming work I get into, the more I realize how complicated it really is. That comes with learning to avoid it, though.
