When Your Struggles Start to Feel Like You

by

Are you struggling with something right now?

Maybe you’re anxious about something at work. Maybe you and your spouse have been fighting more than you used to. Maybe one of your kids is having a hard time, and it’s wearing you down. Maybe you’ve lost someone, or you just feel disconnected from people in a way you can’t shake.

Whatever it is, here’s what I notice in my office. When we struggle long enough, the struggle starts to feel like us.

How To Get Out Of Fight Or Flight When You Are Stuck

Most days, somewhere in the middle of everything, I hit a moment of panic. Not the debilitating kind. It’s more of a “what am I going to do” panic, and when it shows up, part of me wants to check out and go find something fun instead. There’s a real pull to drive home and get back in bed, or just go for a drive and get away from all of it.

Have you ever felt that? Or maybe it runs the other direction for you. Maybe you feel an intense urge to fix the thing right now, so strong it makes you dive in hard and get aggressive about it.

Finding Rest When You Feel Overwhelmed and Weary

Life has a way of becoming overwhelming without us even realizing how heavy things have gotten.

Responsibilities stack up. Expectations grow. Things take longer than they should. And before you know it, you’re mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually worn down. If that’s where you are right now, you are not alone. Even counselors feel this way. I feel this way. Working with clients, juggling family, and managing the stress of daily life. None of us are exempt from it.

Protecting Your Mental Health During Back-to-Back Holiday Gatherings

Family Drama During the Holidays

For many people, the holidays are portrayed as a season of joy, connection, and celebration. In reality, they can also be one of the most emotionally taxing times of the year, especially when your calendar is filled with back-to-back family gatherings, social obligations, and expectations. While spending time with loved ones can be meaningful, too much togetherness, too little rest, and unresolved family dynamics can quickly take a toll on your mental health.

What We Learned From Hurricane Helene: A reminder of how fragile and important life really is

Hurricane Helene. What we learned. Hurricane clouds. How to deal with stress.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many are still grappling with its impact. Sadly, it’s often only after we lose something that we realize how fortunate we are. Millions lost power, and many in rural areas were left without water because they relied on electric wells. Gas became scarce as stations lost power, and food spoiled quickly with refrigerators and freezers out of commission. Only the most prepared among us escaped with minimal impact. Who would have thought a chainsaw would be an essential item for preparedness? We may not be laughing at those “preppers” anymore.
