I don't think that there is a direct translation for this idiomatic expression. The appropriate Spanish equivalent would depend on the English application of the expression.

I am getting burnt out at work. Ya no puedo aguantar mi trabajo.

I am burnt out from working so much. Estoy agotado de tanto trabajo.

I am burnt out on watching TV. Estoy harto de ver TV.

I am not a native speaker. Just my gringo attempts. lol.

From my dictionary

Burnout = Agotamiento

There is a high level of burnout among teachers.

Entre los profesores hay muchos que están quemados.

Burnt out - Estar quemado/a

Estoy quemado en el trabajo

ESTOY QUEMADO: EL SÍNDROME DE BURNOUT.

Los peligros de estar quemado en el trabajo

A Google search on "estoy quemado" or estar quemado will reveal plenty of examples.

Quemado/a makes sense but I have never heard it used. I have however used a very non PC word used quite often. I will send you a PM. - gringojrf, Apr 25, 2014
They seem to use ' burnout ' or quemado. I agree. - annierats, Apr 25, 2014

We have a link at the top of your browser here that will help you with this type of question. Please click on "Translate" at the top of the page. Actually, this is an idiomatic expression. Once you have clicked on the "Translate" link at the top of your browser, you can type in "I feel really burnt out." in the space provided. Most likely, you will received three answers that are literal translations, and all three may be unsatisfactory. On that page, is then provided a link to our "Phrasebook" which will give you a lot of help in translating this idiom. Good luck!

I am not a native speaker of Spanish, so I am not going to attempt to give you a good translation of this idiom. It would probably be way off the mark.

Creo que estoy sufriendo del síndrome burnout (BBT) que es algo peor de que tener el síndrome del principe azúl.
