Life’s Relentless Treadmill: Welcome to Stress Awareness Month!

Meta Description: Feeling constantly behind? Burgandy Holiday from Be True Counseling in Philadelphia helps you identify the signs of being overwhelmed and overbooked. Recognize the cycle and know you're not alone.

Hey there, it's Burgandy from Be True Counseling right here in Philadelphia. Let's have a real talk about that feeling, that never-ending push where life feels like a conveyor belt that's gone into overdrive. You know the one. Suddenly, all those things you need to do – work deadlines, family commitments, household chores – they stop feeling like separate tasks. Instead, they pile on top of you, a crushing weight of responsibility that just doesn't let up.

You finally cross something off your list, and before you can even take a decent breath, you're already scrambling towards the next thing. It's like you're constantly playing catch-up, and the finish line keeps moving further away.

Sound familiar? If you're feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, and like there's just never enough time in the day, you're definitely not alone. I've been there, and honestly, it's a place none of us enjoy visiting.

This feeling of being constantly "on" has a sneaky way of clouding our judgment. We know, deep down, that we only have so much energy and so many hours. But when we're caught in that whirlwind, the emotional pressure to keep going, to keep up, can completely twist that reality. It pushes us way past what's healthy, leaving us feeling drained and, well, completely overwhelmed.

Over the next few weeks, we're going to unpack this feeling a bit more. We'll look at how it affects us and, more importantly, what we can do to find our footing again.
