Talking to your manager about your workload, reprioritizing, changing deadlines or getting a co-worker to help with a project
Message from Amy Gilliland, GDIT President
How "okay" are you?
I AM OKAY.
Hey, we haven't talked in a while. How are you?
I'm content with my life right now. I take good care of myself, have healthy relationships with family and/or friends and have things that I'm looking forward to.
THINK I'M OKAY, BUT MAYBE NOT.
Seems like you haven't been yourself lately. What's up?
I have days where I feel completely unmotivated or unfocused. Then there are other days where I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy.
I AM NOT OKAY MOST OF THE TIME.
I noticed you've been down. What's going on?
I can't seem to shake the feeling of sadness. Small things are having a larger impact on my mood than they used to and I've lost interest in things I used to enjoy.
I AM NOT OKAY.
Is there anything you want to talk about?
I'm experiencing feelings of hopelessness and I think that things would be better if I weren't here.

Our critical government missions depend on the readiness of cleared talent. Unfortunately, there is misinformation surrounding mental health support within the intelligence community that often discourages members to seek help when they need it.
