As autumn deepens, energy naturally turns inward — but modern life rarely allows us to slow down. The result can be subtle or obvious changes in how you feel and function. If your mental health is a little off-balance, you might notice:

Your body knows it’s time to slow down — your schedule doesn’t.

• Persistent fatigue or feeling drained even after rest
Brain fog, forgetfulness, or trouble concentrating
Low mood, feeling flat or easily tearful
• Increased irritability or impatience
Sleep changes — difficulty falling asleep, waking early, or oversleeping
• Shifts in appetite or digestion (loss of appetite or cravings)
• Heightened anxiety, worry, or rumination
Social withdrawal or feeling disconnected from others
• A sense of overwhelm or reduced ability to cope with everyday stress
