You hate life, you're apatehtic, you have no desire to do anything but binge watch Netflix

If you have to ask, you probably are. Do you drag through the day? Do you have little interest in what you are doing?

Hm this actually makes me wonder and genuinely question - how do the symptoms we're experiencing and stating in this thread differ from being depressed? Is there a difference?

If you're asking, you could be already.

For me, I know I'm burnt out if I don't want to get out of bed and dread doing onto the computer. Or when I get constant migraines, neck/shoulder aches, waking up with tired eyes. Not energized. Etc

Does everything you do feel dragging? Easily tired, no motivation at all? Could be burnout already.

I wish lol, no I barely leave my house

I had to ask myself the same question!! But if you dig deep and realize that the process of confronting burnout is in itself a red flag, you probably are burnt out

You can tell when you're annoyed at the little things and you're always tired

This is exactly why no agricultural reforms took place in the last 50 years. It was political hara kiri to do anything meaningful. You incentivize farmers in two states to grow rice and wheat with zero linkage to market demand. Then buy it up at above market prices and store it in godowns where it rots for decades because no there’s demand for those amounts. Farmers keep flooding their lands using free electricity to grow rice and causing a slow motion ecological disaster to the water table
