What Is Chronic Overwhelm?

Overwhelm is not simply an emotional response, it is a mental state that arises out of response to external stimuli. When your brain can’t handle all the expectations coming in, it resorts to a state of overwhelm.

However, if you recognize these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, seeking professional counseling for chronic overwhelm is a good idea:

  • Waking up and feeling dread for the day
  • Trouble making even the easiest decisions
  • Rushing through your to-do list; feeling frantic
  • Procrastinating
  • Saying yes way too often; unclear priorities
  • Escaping reality (through tv, sex, alcohol, etc.)
  • Inability to focus
  • Sense of failure
  • Irritability

Chronic overwhelm will also result in physical symptoms such as:

  • Headaches
  • Susceptibility to illness
  • Chest pain/rapid heartbeat
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of sexual desire/ability

With Thriveworks The Woodlands, we can take back your mental health and build a life that protects your boundaries instead of breaks them down.

How Can Counseling for Chronic Overwhelm Help?

Counseling for chronic overwhelm is going to look different for everyone. Some things we might work on include helping you to:

  • Identify the stressors in your life and cut out the ones that don’t need to be there
  • Develop coping mechanisms that walk you down from a state of overwhelm
  • Install buffers in your life that prevent chronic overwhelm from developing
  • Strengthen your social support- it’s always easier to heal and grow when you’re surrounded with people that care for you!
  • Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques
  • Work through any negative mindsets that might be keeping you from letting go of chronic overwhelm (ex: If I’m not perfect I’m going to fail; This is normal; I’m just being weak; etc.)
  • Encourage healthy sleep, eating, and exercise routines
  • Address any other mental health issues that could have arouse from chronic overwhelm (depression, anxiety, anger, etc.)

Chronic overwhelm can be treated at Thriveworks in The Woodlands. Our therapists want to work with you to find a balance that fits your life, feeds your future, and keeps you mentally healthy. You can schedule online or we can be reached at 281-667-9790.

★★★★☆
First off the only reason I gave my therapist a 7 is because he semi retired and works two days a week if he had more availability I would definitely be a 10. My experience with drive Works has been good I've talked to two different people the first one I started with retired. But I've been very happy with my current Therapist
