Your relationship with oneself involves self-care, self-acceptance, and self-awareness, among other aspects of your life. It impacts your emotional and mental health, as well as your relationship with others around you.

If you find that you are starting to dread going to work, getting overwhelmed, or are hatching an escape plan in the immediate future – you might be experiencing burnout.

Life can be demanding. At times, so much so that it significantly overwhelms our ability we cope and manage. When this happens, we may feel heavy with emotions, as though we are barely hanging on by a thread. This experience physical and mental exhaustion can takes a great toll on us.

Do you find it hard to control your emotions? Do you find yourself getting angry, anxious, or sad at the drop of a hat? If your answer is yes, chances are you might be experiencing emotional dysregulation. While unpleasant and intense emotions are part and parcel of life, emotional dysregulation occurs when you are unable to manage your emotions adaptively or appropriately, to the point where it interferes with your quality of life, social interactions, and relationships at home, work, or school.
