You’re burnt out from constantly giving without replenishing, deeply empathetic to the point where the world’s pain weighs on you, and keenly aware of what and who is around you in ways that make your environment feel overwhelming. These feelings of exhaustion, combined with anxiety and a sense that life (or what you do) lacks meaning, are not uncommon, especially if you’re a high-achieving, highly sensitive, queer millennial navigating a culture that undervalues rest and authenticity.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough, but that you haven’t had the space to live in alignment with your true self?

Mental health and wellbeing encompasses your psychological and social wellbeing. It goes far beyond your mental (your ability to process information, managing interactions with others, the types of thoughts you have, and your ability to make decisions) and emotional health (your ability to identify, manage, and regulate your emotions). It’s about the social, psychological, and physical factors that contribute to your well-being, contentment, and happiness. It’s about our ability to maintain positive relationships with others, experience personal mastery, have autonomy in and over our lives, develop feelings of purpose and meaning in life, and continue your personal growth journey.
