Jun. 04, 2025 / Adam Brooks/ Mental Health

We’re used to hearing that burnout looks like exhaustion, panic, or crying in the shower. However, for some people, it doesn’t look like anything at all. It just feels like nothing.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re actually doing okay, especially when life doesn’t look picture-perfect, or you’re still working through things.

Jun. 02, 2025 / Adam Brooks/ Mental Health

Highly sensitive people aren’t just emotional or dramatic for no reason. In reality, they process the world more deeply, more intensely, and sometimes, more anxiously.

Things You Assume Are Personality Traits That Are Actually Trauma Responses

Some behaviours become so ingrained, they start to feel like part of your personality.
