How do I tell if my stress is job-driven?

Retake the PSS-4 on a Friday evening and again on a Sunday evening. A meaningful gap (3+ points) suggests the load is concentrated in the work week. The Burnout Check (Standard W-tier) splits this more precisely with Personal vs Work-related subscales.

What if my whole life feels overloaded, not just work?

That is the medium-stress-everywhere pattern. The next step is recovery infrastructure (sleep, time off, social support) rather than job changes specifically.
