Anyone can find themselves experiencing psychological issues that can seem overwhelming. Stress can be triggered by most anything such as illness, death, divorce or separation to name a few. Emotions like crying, withdrawal, anger, unhappiness, substance abuse even thoughts of suicide may manifest. Ignoring these signs can make situations deepen. Trying to resolve problems on your own are often futile. Unresolved issues can affect our work, home and social life. Oftentimes family, co -workers, spouses even friends may not recognize signs that outreach intervention may be an option.

Life is full of ups and downs — we all know that. But sometimes, it can feel like we’re running a marathon that seems to go on forever. We start to feel stressed, burnt out, and hopeless. We may find ourselves wondering, "What happened to my relationship?", "Why can’t I stop repeating this unhealthy behavior?", "Wasn’t this new job supposed to make things better?" Whether it’s our work, relationships, or simply our own quirks getting in the way of our well-being, there comes a time when our confusion and pain become too much to bear alone. We feel like giving up and often don’t know where to go for support.

Life can get the best of anyone, at anytime, and in those times support is necessary. Looking for the bright side in dark situations can be difficult, however, learning to manage helps to create resilience.
