Feeling stuck or anxious as summer approaches? You’re not alone...

As the days grow longer and the summer months approach, there’s often an unspoken expectation that we should feel happier, more energetic and ready to embrace the season. But for many people, summer can bring its own challenges — anxiety, low mood or burnout can quietly build beneath the surface.

If you’re struggling with these feelings, please know you’re not alone. It’s more common than you might think to feel overwhelmed or stuck when life feels like it’s moving faster than we can keep up.

Why Summer Can Be Difficult for Mental Health

The shift in routine, the pressure to be socially active or simply the contrast between how you feel inside and the world around you can create tension. You might notice that anxiety feels more intense, your mood dips, or stress becomes harder to manage. Please know these feelings are valid and understandable.
