To understand how “Permacrisis” can affect mental health, HuffPost reached out to our therapist, Courtney Strull for some expert advice.
Permacrisis has been dubbed the word of the year, which means “an extended period of instability and insecurity." For many, this has translated to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, loneliness, grief and a host of other tough emotions. For others, the signs aren't as obvious. "You may find yourself 'quiet quitting,' which translates to stepping away from work responsibilities and seeking ‘quality of life pursuits."
Whether you’re a full-time business owner, a part-time retail associate, a nanny, a teacher, a photographer or a waiter or waitress, stress in the workplace is inevitable. Anxiety at work can impact your functioning on the job and even carry over into your personal life.
The holidays are often filled with grief, comparison, magnified anxiety, financial concerns, and familial dysfunction.
While it is natural for parents to go into protection mode when your child is feeling anxious, sometimes your efforts to solve their problems or avoid triggers of anxiety and engineer worry-free environments may exacerbate the problem.
