Sometimes life can leave you so overwhelmed that you feel frozen or disconnected. That doesn’t mean you’re broken; it means you’re human.

The problems around us and within us can sometimes feel so big that our minds can’t take them all in at once – and that’s okay.

This worksheet from Mental Health America is here to help you check in, ground yourself, and take small steps toward feeling better. https://screening.mhanational.org/diy/what-to-do-when-you-feel-numb-or-dont-feel-anything-at-all/

When you’re going through something difficult, it’s hard to think positively. If you’re already feeling depressed or anxious, it’s even harder! You might have a hard time noticing anything good about the situation, or about your life.

Unfortunately, that puts you on track for a downward spiral. Thinking positively not only feels better than thinking negatively, but it also helps you find ways to improve your situation! Of course, it’s easier said than done.

This worksheet from Mental Health America walks you through four steps you can take to start looking for the good things.
