Use the self-care and wellbeing in the effective altruism community tag for discussions about addressing personal needs (e.g. physical or mental health), and balancing that with effort aimed at trying to improve the world. This could also include posts about how these dynamics could be improved in the EA community.

(For posts about mental health as an EA cause area, use mental health (cause area)).

Effective altruism can be intense, difficult, and even overwhelming; fortunately, the Forum contains a lot of good posts on how we can stay healthy and maintain balance as we try to do as much good as we can.
