Weekly Mental Health Q&A


Monday, May 23rd

“I don't have any major problems in my life, but I'm overwhelmed by many small problems that I can't seem to sort out or deal with. I'd really like to talk to someone, but I'm not sure if my problems are too small to see a therapist. Would it be possible to talk to someone at SCRS?”

WHAT SCRS CAN DO:

  • help you understand that any problems that are overwhelming are worth addressing—no matter how “small” they may seem
  • help you sort out the issues in your life that are causing you stress or pain, prioritize which problems to address first, and strategize about how to address those problems

DISCLAIMER: None of the vignettes are based on actual University of Chicago students or specific incidents. The vignettes suggest possible scenarios but do not represent any particular University students. The SCRS maintains a strict confidentiality policy that is outlined our Policies section.
