🚨 You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are carrying too much. 🚨

If you’re constantly feeling exhausted, it’s NOT because you’re not trying hard enough—it’s because your mental load is too heavy. You deserve rest, support, and balance.

🗣️ “When you carry the mental load, you don’t just do the task—you also make sure it gets done.”

💭 The planning. The remembering. The reminding.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about ways to make the invisible work visible.

💡 How to Start a Mental Load Conversation with Your Partner

1️⃣ Start with facts: “I handle X, Y, and Z every day.”

2️⃣ Express how you feel: “It’s exhausting to manage all of this alone.”

3️⃣ Suggest a solution: “Let’s divide tasks so we both have downtime.”

🚨 It’s NOT about blaming—it’s about sharing the responsibility. Have you tried this before?

⚖️ What would happen if you stopped being the “default” person who keeps everything running?

🛒 Would the groceries still get bought?

🗓️ Would appointments still be made?

😔 Would things fall apart?

If so, it’s time for a conversation about balance. It’s not just about doing less—it’s about making the invisible, visible.

💡 Reduce the Mental Load: Normalize Sharing Responsibilities

Instead of asking “Can you help?”, try “Let’s split this.” This shifts from assuming one person is in charge to making responsibility equal.

➡️ Try it at home, at work, or in relationships. A small language shift can make a big impact!

🗣️ “You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.” — Unknown 🔥

Women often feel pressure to “do it all,” but burnout isn’t a badge of honour. It’s okay to step back, set boundaries, and prioritize your well-being.

💛 Take a breath. You’re allowed to take care of YOU.

🚨 PSA: Women are not the default planners, organizers, and caretakers. 🚨

If the invisible labour in your home or workplace falls mostly on you, it’s okay to set boundaries and ask for help. Sharing the load isn’t complaining—it’s necessary.

💡 Feeling overwhelmed? Try a Mental Load Audit!

Write down EVERYTHING on your mental to-do list—appointments, birthdays, grocery shopping, emotional check-ins, meal planning, etc. Then, ask:

✅ What can I delegate?

✅ What can I say no to?

✅ What actually needs to be done?

Sometimes, just seeing it all on paper helps lighten the load.

This 8-week online program (plus a 4hr silent retreat) is for individuals experiencing moderate anxiety or depression and people with a history of depression. This program is designed to prevent depressive relapse, particularly those who deal with chronic or acute depression and/or mild-to-moderate anxiety. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an evidence-based group therapy for treating mood disorders and preventing depressive relapse. It is clinically proven to reduce depression, anxiety and stress. The Mindfulness component teaches you how to purposefully bring your awareness into the present moment; and the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy component helps bring awareness to habitual negative ways of thinking that perpetuate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Together, these therapeutic modalities help you to develop skills and practices to identify and respond to stressors in more skillful ways. This 8 week online course (and one 4 hour silent retreat)helps you to build awareness of your thoughts, emotions and body sensations, learn ways to identify triggers that can lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression, and use this information to skillfully respond to issues as they arise in everyday life. Dates, Pricing & Location all listed on our website. Download the full brochure. Starts Wednesday, March 6th. Includes materials (workbook, audio files, etc.) - Check with your insurer for coverage. The training is facilitated by Melinda Krynen Hill, MPH, MEd, RP, Registered Psychotherapist. https://thetherapycentre.ca/workshops/adult-parent-training-workshops/ . . . . . . #mentalhealthsupport #psychologist #psychologicalservices #counsellingpsychologist #counsellingpsychology #torontomentalhealth #oakvillementalhealth #hamiltonmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #childmentalhealth #teenmentalhealth #teenmentalwellness #childmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthtips #emotionalwellbeing #mentalhealthquote #mbct #mbctprogram #toronto
