Changes in life circumstances happen to everybody, for example,..... working or studying overseas, new jobs, change study courses, becomes unemployed, becoming parents, shifting house, living with new people, a relationship ending, forming a new relationship, job promotion, retirement,.... the list goes on and on. Sometimes, the changes happen in close succession, or happen all at once and our coping mechanism cannot handle them and our body and mind would not be able to function as normal.
While most of us adapt adequately, sometimes our coping mechanism is compromised and we feel anxious, tired, restless, forgetful, and overwhelmed.
Just being aware of the above is a great help in keeping our mental health in functioning mode.
In the event that you do not feel your normal self due to too much happening all at once, you might need counselling/ support/ reassurance.
Our counselling service does not just cater for our church members only. It is open to everyone. So please share this information with your family and friends.
