Still tired after the long weekend? Here’s why - and what it might be telling you

You just had a long weekend. Maybe you slept in, took a break from work, or even went away. But come Tuesday morning, and you're still wiped. That heavy, drained feeling doesn’t always come from lack of sleep. If you're living with anxiety, depression, or OCD, no amount of rest will undo what your mind is constantly working through. In my ten years providing therapy for depression and anxiety in downtown Hamilton, I’ve seen many clients hope a week’s vacation or an extra day off from work will cure what ails them, and often it isn’t enough. Sometimes the week away from the stress just highlights how deep the hurt from all that stress is.
