These are all great things that have helped you to get this far. But you’ve known that for a while now it felt like a burden to keep up with all your responsibilities. You come home from work feeling drained and find yourself mindlessly scrolling on your phone or watching tv because you feel you need some kind of reprieve. You notice this still doesn’t help. You continue to find yourself stressed and overthinking about all the tasks you still have to do the next day.
Maybe you’ve thought about starting therapy before but you don’t think things are “bad enough” to ask for help yet. I’m a true believer that starting therapy doesn’t have to be a result of something catastrophic and often yields more successful and more easily achievable outcomes when it’s preventative rather than reactive.
