Signs You May Need Help
-
The pressure never stops
You feel a pressure that you constantly need to be doing everything “right” for your family. Every time you open your phone, you find yourself endlessly scrolling and comparing yourself to others. It feels like you are in a race and you never can relax.
-
Life Changes
You’ve experienced major life changes unique to being a woman. This could look like a new family member, pregnancy, a new career, house, or family. Life changes, while exciting, can often bring stress and anxiety, or that intense feeling of being overwhelmed.
-
Perseverating Thoughts
Your thoughts don’t stop, and they replay the same event over and over again. A breakup you feel like you just can’t get over, or a friendship that ended. Your mind constantly spins and won’t let you release it.
-
You struggle with people pleasing
You feel like you always have to say “yes” to everything, even when you want to say no. It feels like you are the ultimate people pleaser, and it leaves you feeling exhausted. It feels almost impossible to set any boundaries, and when you try, you feel that others completely disregard your feelings.
