In your own words

Each of these pages starts from an experience, put the way people often describe it, like not being able to switch your mind off. Each one covers what might be going on, the kinds of therapy people find useful and where to start. These experiences overlap a lot, so more than one page may fit.

When your head won't stopThe difference between worry and rumination, why telling yourself to stop doesn't work, and the approaches that help with each.
Nothing feels like anythingWhat it's like when feelings go flat or quiet, why it happens, what tends to help, and where to start if you want to talk to someone about it.
I keep avoiding thingsPutting things off, staying away from people or places, dropping things you used to enjoy: why avoiding makes sense at the time, what can sit behind it, and what helps.
I'm hard on myself in a way that hurtsWhat being hard on yourself can look like, why reassurance often doesn't help, which therapies work on it, and where to start in Australia.
When something keeps coming backWhat people often go through after something frightening or distressing, what helps in the first weeks, when to talk to a GP, and what helps if it doesn't ease or goes back a long way.
When things are fine and you're notFeeling miserable or empty when life looks fine: why you don't need a reason, what's worth ruling out, what helps, and where to start in Australia.
Depression or burnout?Why burnout and depression are hard to tell apart, why the question still matters, what's worth checking whichever it is, and where to start.
When relationships keep going wrongWhen the same thing keeps happening in your relationships: what people notice, when a relationship isn't safe, which therapies work on patterns, and where to start in Australia.
When others are worried and you're notWhen people close to you are worried and you think you're fine: why both views count, when it's about safety, what's worth a GP visit either way, and how to find out more on your own terms.
