This job is more emotionally taxing than I could have imagined and I feel like I have nothing left to give my family at the end of the day. How do you look after your mental health?

I’m so sorry! Can you tell us a little more about what your day to day looks like? It might look different for all of us

To be honest I have not yet achieved the necessary balance to be able to deal with the exhaustion left by this job, my family is my support but I am still in the process.

It is always important to be able to share with your family, after all we work so hard for them. I think you should look for a way to achieve a balance to be able to share more with your family, maybe look for a way to organize your daily activities.

It's important to have a good support system in place when you're feeling emotionally drained. Make sure you have people you can talk to who will understand what you're going through and be there for you. It's also important to take time for yourself, whether that means taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or going for a walk. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health, so make sure you don't forget to do something that makes you happy and helps you relax.

Make sure to practice self-compassion and be gentle with yourself during times of stress. If you find yourself struggling, it might be helpful to seek out professional help.

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant.

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic. I’ve read about people taking Wellbutrin as well. Anyone have experiences with this? I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.
