I think this is a very good article.

This paragraph was interesting.
"As described by Sarah Ban Breathnach in her bestseller, Simple Abundance… “It’s burnout when you go to bed exhausted every night and wake up tired every morning – when no amount of sleep refreshes you, month after weary month. It’s burnout when everything becomes too much effort: combing your hair, going out to dinner, visiting friends for the weekend, even going on vacation. It’s burnout when you find yourself cranky all the time, bursting into tears or going into fits of rage at the slightest provocation. It’s burnout when you dread the next phone call. It’s burnout when you feel trapped and hopeless, unable to dream, experience pleasure, or find contentment. It’s burnout when neither the big thrills nor the little moments have the power to move you – when nothing satisfies you because you haven’t a clue what’s wrong or how to fix it. Because everything’s wrong. Because something’s terribly out of whack: you.”"
What do you call it when you don't burst into tears or go into fits of rage because you know your limits, but feel embarrassed that you are not doing enough? I wonder if there are other definitions and ideas out there?
Check out the stress vs burnout table.

Seems like they are talking about two different types of burnout.

Maybe it is an overused word?
