The weeks leading up to Thanksgiving can bring a mix of excitement and exhaustion. Between work deadlines, travel, family expectations, and shifting routines, even joyful moments can feel overwhelming. Many people notice that this season heightens their anxiety, tension, or sense of imbalance.

It can be easy to focus on preparing for everyone else and lose track of what you need. If your emotions feel scattered or your sleep patterns have changed, your mind and body may be signaling that it is time to slow down.

As the days grow shorter and the light changes, many people notice shifts in mood, focus, or motivation. For some, it feels like slowing down. For others, it can bring irritability, fatigue, or sadness that seems to come from nowhere.

These changes are common and are often linked to how light, sleep, and daily routines affect our internal rhythms. When daylight decreases, it can influence mood-regulating hormones and energy levels, especially for those who are already managing stress or depression.

For many people, mental health care feels divided. One provider prescribes medication. Another provides therapy. You share your story more than once, and the connection between insight and treatment can get lost along the way.

At Empathy Therapy, care is designed differently. Dr. Mark Chofla offers both psychiatry and therapy within the same practice, so each appointment builds on the last. This consistency allows for a deeper understanding of how life experiences, emotions, and medication all work together.

It can be hard to tell where stress ends and anxiety begins. For many adults, what starts as pressure at work, home, or school slowly builds into restlessness, tension, or trouble sleeping. Over time, the mind and body stay on alert even when there is no immediate reason to be.

This experience is common, and it is one of the main reasons people seek psychiatric care. The challenge is not only reducing stress but understanding what keeps it going.

Emails, notifications, meetings, and endless tabs open make it no wonder focus feels hard to hold onto. Multitasking is often praised, but research shows it fragments attention and increases stress.

If you have found yourself forgetting what you were doing, jumping between tasks without finishing, or feeling mentally exhausted by constant switching, you are not alone.

Stress does not remain confined to one part of life. It shows up in conversations, tone of voice, and patience with the people you care about. Many clients notice that when they are overwhelmed or anxious, relationships at home or at work feel strained.

The problem is not that you do not care. Carrying too much makes it harder to show up as your best self. Having a safe place to discuss these pressures and learn new strategies can help ease that tension and create space for healthier connections.

Some days, you feel like you can conquer your to-do list. On other days, even basic tasks can feel overwhelming. This cycle can leave you wondering why motivation disappears just when you need it most.

The truth is, motivation is not a switch that can be flipped on. It is connected to stress, sleep patterns, routines, and emotional well-being. If you have been stuck in the ebb more than the flow, it may be a sign that support, not self-criticism, is what is needed.

At Empathy Therapy, we focus on helping people understand these cycles and develop sustainable ways to ride the waves of energy and motivation.

Hot weather can affect more than physical comfort. During periods of extreme heat, many people report increased irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and emotional reactivity. For those already managing mental health symptoms, heat waves can make everything feel more intense.

This connection is not all in your head. The body and brain are deeply linked, and changes in temperature can influence both mood and mental functioning.

When Vacation Ends, Reflection Begins

Returning from a trip often brings a mix of emotions. For many, the shift back into everyday life highlights feelings that had been pushed aside or put on hold. What felt manageable while away can start to resurface. If you find yourself feeling anxious, low, or unsettled, this may be the right time to seek support.

Dr. Mark Chofla provides thoughtful, one-on-one psychiatric care that blends medication management and talk therapy. All care is delivered virtually, with availability for residents of California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, New York, Alaska, and Florida.

If you are ready to take that first step, we are here to meet you.
