Below are some of the signs that you might be self-sabotaging your mental health:

  • You seek perfection and criticise yourself for anything less
  • You deny yourself time to relax and engage in self-care
  • You give up on your goals, rather than modifying them
  • You don't prioritise your mental health
  • You engage in unhelpful coping mechanisms, even when you know they aren't good for you
  • You avoid asking for support
