Feeling emotionally fragile during busy periods is often a sign that your mental and emotional resources are being stretched too thin. When schedules are packed and responsibilities pile up, there is little time for rest or emotional processing. This can make emotions feel closer to the surface and reactions stronger than usual. Fatigue, stress, and lack of personal time all contribute to this fragility. Slowing down where possible, prioritising rest, and acknowledging emotional needs can help restore balance. Professional support can also provide tools to manage stress more effectively during demanding times.
