Introduction
It’s far too simple in this hectic world we live in to ignore the way we really feel. We tough it out through stress, hide behind secrets, and tell ourselves everything is “fine.” But your mental health matters — and your mind is just as deserving of attention as your body.

These are 5 common signs that your mental health could use some help, and how getting it can pay off.

1. You Always Feel Overwhelmed
Little things bother you. You’re tired, uptight, and can’t relax — not even during quiet moments. This isn’t weakness. It’s your mind crying out for rest and direction.

2. You’re Steer Clear of People or Activities You Once Loved
You find yourself saying no to things more and more, not answering the phone, or boring yourself with what used to please you. Isolation is a big sign that something else could be going on.

3. You’re Having Trouble Sleeping or Sleeping Too Much
Your mood has a direct relation with your sleep pattern. Insomnia, nightmares, or sleeping all day could mean that your brain is carrying too much.

4. You’re Feeling Numb or Emotionally Distant
Some days, you just won’t feel anything. Emotional numbness can be a sign that you have unresolved stress, burnout, or even trauma.

5. You Keep Saying “I’m Fine” (But Know You’re Not)
If you’ve been blowing things off for weeks or months, thinking they’d just pass — it might be time to talk about it. You don’t have to do it alone.

What You Can Do
Speak to a trusted individual — a friend, relative, or counselor.

Consider therapy or movement healing, like Dance Movement Therapy (DMT), if words are difficult to verbalize.

Start small. Even taking a single step toward support is a gigantic win.

Healthymann offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk about what you’re going through — via both counselling and physical activity. You don’t have to wait for it to get worse. Healing starts the moment you say, “I need help.”
