Is my mental health deteriorating?

Lately, I've been feeling really down and finding it hard to focus on work or even daily chores. My friends say I've changed, and I feel constantly anxious and irritable. I'm worried if this is something serious.

I have been feeling very low and tired lately too, and I was wondering if this is what people call burnout. How do we actually know if it is just a phase or something more serious? If anyone has gone to a counselor, does it really help to talk to them?

Beta, sometimes our mind gets very tired just like our body when we work too much. Do not keep these heavy feelings inside your heart, talk to a family member or a close friend about what is bothering you. If you still feel heavy, please go and see a doctor in the city.

I went through severe depression a few years ago, so I know the signs well. If you are losing interest in daily hobbies, sleeping too much or too little, and feeling hopeless, please act on it. Start with small walks, limit social media, and book an appointment with a licensed therapist immediately.

Haan na, life has become so fast-paced nowadays that it is very easy to feel overwhelmed. If your sleep is getting disturbed and you feel sad for no reason, actually it is better to take it seriously. Just talk to a counselor once, ho na, there is no harm in seeking a professional opinion.

I hear you, and I want to validate that what you are feeling is completely real and so exhausting. I used to feel so guilty for being anxious and down all the time. Please remember that acknowledging this is the first step, and speaking to a mental health professional can give you so much relief.

With the daily office traffic, endless bills, and family responsibilities, keeping mental peace is a full-time job in itself! If you are feeling constantly irritable or exhausted, it is definitely a sign to slow down. Don't hesitate to take a break or talk to a therapist, there is no shame in getting some help.
