The Invisible Load: A Mental Health Journal
Mental Health Journal — Entry One
Something I notice often in mental health work:
Many people aren’t overwhelmed because life is too hard.
They’re overwhelmed because they don’t feel safe enough to slow down.
They keep functioning.
They stay responsible.
They hold everything together.
But their nervous system never truly rests.
So here’s a gentle question:
•What happens inside you when you finally pause and what do you think your mind is trying to protect you from?
If you feel like sharing, I’d love to read your reflections, only what feels safe .
From experience, this question usually reveals something important, not something broken.
If you feel comfortable, share your reflection.
Awareness is often the first form of care.
