Answered by Dr. Lara Raad

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. It sounds like you're going through a tough time, but there are strategies that can help you manage stress and improve your mental well-being. Start by delegating tasks if possible and prioritize them based on urgency.

2. Breaking larger tasks into smaller, manageable pieces can also make them feel less overwhelming.

3. For both motivation and managing depression, balancing work with personal time is crucial. Try to incorporate small breaks into your routine, such as taking a 15-minute walk daily to clear your mind.

4. If you have a support system, don't hesitate to reach out and stay connected with them. Additionally, focusing on sleep hygiene is important—ensure you're getting enough rest and creating a calming bedtime routine.

5. If these strategies don’t seem to be helping, seeking professional help is an essential step. A therapist or counselor can work with you to develop more tailored approaches for managing stress and improving motivation.

6. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.

 

Thanks
