When we don't take the time to relax and recharge, we can quickly become burned out. Mental health days are a chance to step away from the stressors of everyday life and focus on our wellbeing.

Signs You Need a Mental Health Day

You're feeling overwhelmed and stressed more often than not.
If you are constantly feeling stressed and like you're unable to keep up with everything, it might be a sign that you need to take a mental health day. Taking some time for yourself can help you reset and recharge to come back to your responsibilities feeling refreshed and better able to handle them.
-
You're not taking care of yourself like you used to.
If you find that you're neglecting your own needs in favor of taking care of others or meeting deadlines, it's a sign that you might need to take some time for yourself. Make sure to schedule in some "me time" every day, even if it's just for a few minutes, to take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

You're feeling disconnected from those around you.
If you're feeling isolated and like you're not connecting with family and friends the way you used to, it could be a sign that you need some time to focus on your mental health.
