It feels like too much. Overwhelmed and exhausted, you know you can't go on like this. Something has to change...but what? You're not sure. Doing anything feels impossible. The to-do list grows longer, not shorter. You want to just run away and hide rather than be found out, but you compel yourself through another day, somehow... Maybe you are even really good at helping others, so you don't understand why it's so hard for you to help yourself. Ready for the cycle to reduce or end? Let's talk.

You're looking for treatment that will really help - more than what a friend could offer, more than just support and a listening ear.

Maybe you've tried this before, and it didn't work. Maybe you're at the end of your rope. You need a care team who listens carefully, understands the issues, and helps you.

Do you spend a ton of time doing the following: 1. Worrying about stuff that hasn't happened 2. Worrying that bad things will happen 3.
