If you are finding yourself overwhelmed and struggling to deal with life’s stressors, I encourage you to reach out for help. Maybe you have been able to handle your stress on your own for years, but as your environment changes so does your need for helpful coping skills. Having support during difficult times eases the emotional, physical, and mental toll and allows you to feel better sooner. With some support, you can get back to finding contentment and joy in everyday life. There are long term health side effects of chronic stress and anxiety that you can avoid if you choose to take care of yourself now. Over the course of my 10 years working with students I have found your desire to adapt, change, and grow so inspiring.
