Stephen felt unfulfilled in his job as an information technology (IT) professional. He made good money, but he didn’t feel personally or emotionally engaged. Stephen wanted to have more flexible hours so he could spend more time with his young children. He wanted to prioritize his family. He wanted to feel like he was valued at work, not just as a tech wizard, but as a real person. He felt like his authentic self was getting lost in the demands and responsibilities of his IT job. But change felt really scary. What if he quit his job and couldn’t get another one? How would he know if his next job would make him unhappy as well?

What Are the Signs That It’s Time to See a Therapist?
At Thriveworks Counseling Norman, we think it’s always a good time to see a therapist to help you achieve your personal goals in life, but sometimes it takes a particular issue or red flag to get someone to make an appointment with a professional mental health provider. These issues and red flags may include:
- Insomnia
- Unexplainable fatigue
- Unmanageable anger
- Apathy
- Disproportionate responses to stimuli
- Persistent, uncontrollable fears or worries (anxiety)
- Panic attacks
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Withdrawal from loved ones
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Disordered eating
- Unmanageable grief
- Acute stress
- Drug and/or alcohol abuse
- Sex addiction
- Auditory or visual hallucinations
- Talking too fast (which can be a sign of mania)
Sometimes mental health conditions can first manifest as physical symptoms. For example, a person suffering from panic disorder might experience a racing heart or shortness of breath. Other physiological symptoms of potential mental health disorders might include hypertension, a compromised immune system, unexplained aches and pains, and migraines.
