How Are You Really Doing?
A Free Tool to Help You Check In With Yourself—Before Burnout Takes Over
Some signs of burnout show up quietly.
You might be functioning on the outside, but inside, you're disconnected, snappy, emotionally flooded, or just… tuning out.
That’s why I created the Feelings Thermometer, a quick-check tool to help you pause, reflect, and notice what’s showing up before it breaks you down.
Feelings Thermometer – Free Mental Health Check-In Tool
What Is the Feelings Thermometer?
It’s not a diagnosis.
It’s not a test.
It’s a mirror.
A gentle way to track your mental and emotional state over time—and to begin supporting yourself before things hit a crisis point.
✅ Takes less than 2 minutes
✅ Based on lived experience, not perfection
✅ Designed for everyday people (not just those with a diagnosis)
Whether you're feeling tired, wired, or somewhere in between—this tool was made to meet you there.
Why This Matters
Mental load isn't always visible—but it builds. And without check-ins, we risk burning out in silence.
Using this tool weekly, monthly, or whenever something feels “off” can help you build emotional awareness and create space to care for yourself with intention.
What Happens When You Use It?
After answering 10 simple questions, you’ll find yourself in one of three zones:
🟢 Regulated & Grounded
🟡 Drained & Disconnected
🔴 Overwhelmed & At Risk
No shame. No judgment. Just insight—and a chance to choose the next right thing.

Because your wellbeing deserves a check-in too.
Crystal Ball Reflection
The moment I stopped expecting myself to “push through” was the moment I started healing.
Check-ins like this helped me understand my mental state before it collapsed. This tool doesn’t fix everything, but it gives you a way to start listening again.
That alone can change everything.
With empathy,
