  The writer reflects on the societal expectation of constant busyness and its impact on mental health. They share their struggle with conforming to norms, which exacerbated their mental illnesses. Embracing their conditions, setting limits, and self-compassion have been crucial in their healing journey. They question if others are also hiding from themselves in the pursuit of busyness.

All the aforementioned signs are useful. However, it’s important to note that everyone’s experience of mental health is different. Because of this, these signs may not apply to everyone. Furthermore, our recovery may vary. In other words, it will fluctuate in intensity.

With that said, if you are concerned about your mental health, it’s always a good idea to seek help from a mental health professional.

Finally, when we become more self-aware, we can see when we can celebrate and alternatively, see when we need to apply more self-care.

After all, we are responsible for paving our road to mental wellness, so it’s great to have every tool at our disposal.
