Burn out.

From Robert Kegan’s The Mental Demands of Modern Life:

“When burnout occurs, it is almost always an indication that the person’s goals have been externally imposed. Somehow he embarked on his present course because it was expected of him… He was never the authentic source of his choices and consequently they afford little real satisfaction.”

I thought that was pretty great.
