You can only solve one problem at a time
Sometimes, when I’m overwhelmed, I start to think about everything that’s gone wrong in my life or every single issue I need to take care of, making me even more stressed.
Stop trying to solve everything at once and instead tackle one problem at a time. Again, you’re only human, and there’s only so much you can do.
Mental health breaks are allowed
While some people are quick to brush off the idea of a “mental health break,” they’re actually really helpful and important during times like these. Take a day off work and rest up.
When stressed out, our immune systems become affected, and we can get sick much easier. Therefore, it’s important to have rest days, even if they’re mental rest days.
You will find the light again
Chances are, if you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, it’s not your first time feeling these emotions. Getting stressed and overwhelmed several times a year is normal.
If you reflect on the past, you’ll remember that you’ve made it out of this funk before. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and you will be okay.
If you’re feeling really overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious right now, my heart is with you. Reach out to loved ones for some extra support and get the help you need. Hang in there!
