It is vital to protect our mental health and use our skills to set ourselves up for
success. Protecting our mental health should be a main priority in all the choices we
make. Teaching these skills to our families is essential for managing high-
functioning relationships.
How would you rate your mental health? Have you noticed a correlation between
situational depression and feeling burned out? Have you noticed that being burned
out makes it harder to use the coping skills that would otherwise help alleviate your
pain?
How do you know the difference between situational mental health issues and
issues that may need deeper support?
Consider this:
Situational depression is usually caused by a short-term issue that has made an
impact on us that is natural, considering the situation. Burn out reduces our coping
skills and increases the symptoms of situational depression and anxiety. This means
that our depression and anxiety will likely subside with the reduction of our fatigue
and burnout. The better you feel physically, the better you tend to be able to feel
mentally.
If you have taken significant steps to recover from fatigue and burnout and still feel
a strong sense of heaviness or anxious, it may be time to consult a mental health
specialist to be certain that your needs are being met in every way possible.
Our general mental health is deeply tied to living in optimum health overall. The
more dialed-in we are to living a life that is healthy and happy, the easier it is to
manage our healthy psyche and avoid situational depression and anxiety. This is a
big reason why it’s vital to put your health first and make impeccable decisions to
avoid burnout and fatigue.
