I am considering switching grad school supervisors and need advice

I am beginning to feel that my supervisor and my styles do not match. This semester has been incredibly stressful and I have not been coping well. As a result, I know that I have not been performing to the best of my abilities. My supervisor is known to be harsh and I have found him to be rigid in his expectations and not understanding of my situation. I don’t know if we can figure something out or if I should cut my losses before it gets worse and I waste more time. Does anyone have any advice on any red flags about supervisors or how you knew it wasn’t a good match?
