Struggling with mental health can be overwhelming, especially when trying to face it alone. One of the greatest challenges is simply understanding what we are feeling. Mental health is complex. Emotions do not arrive classified and labeled for our interpretation. It isn’t always clear whether we are exhausted, stressed, depressed, or experiencing something existential like despair. This uncertainty makes it all the more important to draw distinctions. Not every form of suffering is the same. Naming what we experience can provide clarity and direction for how to respond. In the realm of law, learning to name what we’re experiencing, whether it’s stress, burnout, or something deeper, can be as vital as identifying the right issue in a fact pattern.
