When Work Feels Too Much

Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed — not in a loud, obvious way, but in a quiet, persistent kind of way.
Work keeps piling on, my mind won’t stop racing, and I catch myself overthinking even the smallest things.
The result? Constant headaches, scattered thoughts, and this unshakable heaviness.

It’s not just the workload — it’s the pressure to always “be on,” to always perform, to respond quickly, smile politely, and keep it all together. And truthfully, it’s exhausting.


What I’m Realising

  • Not every thought deserves space.
    Overthinking solves nothing. I’m learning to let some thoughts go.
  • Tiny breaks help more than I thought.
    A 10-minutes walk, a cup of tea, or just silence — it matters.
  • Being tired doesn’t mean I’m weak.
    It just means I’m human, and I need rest too.

Final Thought

If you’re in the same place, here’s a gentle reminder:
You’re allowed to slow down. You don’t have to carry it all at once.
Even in the middle of stress — breathe. That’s still progress !
