Healing

Healing from depression and emotional overwhelm often feels subtle, not dramatic. As your awareness grows, your nervous system begins to calm and your reactions soften. Over time these small moments of pausing, observing, and caring for yourself replace inner chaos with clarity and peace. The more consistently you practice awareness, the stronger your mental health becomes.

If this resonates, save it for moments when emotions feel intense.

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

Tip Tuesday 💡- Journaling

Journaling doesn't have to be fancy, or even in a notebook. You can scribble thoughts down on scrap paper, a post it note or even a napkin. It can be a few sentences, a few paragraphs or even pages long. You'd be amazed how much it helps your brain to get the thoughts out on paper. Also, it can help you process thoughts or something that you're going through that's hard.

If you try it today, let me know how it goes!

Homemade chili for when it's chilly.
As I'm chopping veggies and preparing this food, I think back to my own childhood. I was born to a runaway teen mom with a drug addiction, and then raised by her mother. My grandmother had already been a widow for many years which meant less money, so there were many times when I didn't eat at all. This created a weird relationship with food that I'm still trying to fix. I guess my point is, I'm happy to be able to feed my own children. That is all. Take care of yourselves today and always ❤️

Hearing Voices Virtual Support Group! Every 2nd and 4th Friday, 3:30 to 5pm ET

Hearing Voices is a virtual support group for anyone who identifies as a voice hearer.

Voices, visions, or other unusual or extreme experiences may be unique, but they are not uncommon. The Hearing Voices Support Group is a place where people can share these experiences in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect.

“Voice hearer” is a term which includes people who hear voices, see things others do not see, have multiple identities and/or other unusual experiences or beliefs. Voice hearers do not need to have a diagnosis or identify with one, but they may have received diagnoses such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective, or psychosis.

💻 If you'd like more information or would like to join, you can find the link here. Virtual groups are every 2nd and 4th Friday, 3:30 to 5pm Eastern Standard Time. Closed captioning is available:

Overthinking 101: 3 Questions That Instantly Break Negative Thought Loops

Negative thought loops can feel impossible to escape, but the fastest way to regain control of your mind is to pause and question what’s happening instead of reacting emotionally. When you ask how a thought is making you feel, what it’s trying to teach you, and how you can respond in a productive way, your brain shifts out of panic mode and into clarity. This simple mental health exercise builds awareness, emotional regulation, and long-term peace. Try these three questions the next time your mind spirals and notice how quickly things start to calm down.

Which question helped you the most?

Watched this little raccoon fall asleep in my neighbors oak tree. Honestly, I was just admiring how huge this tree is and didn't even see it at first. It was super cute, though. Not feeling the greatest, so I wanted to share something happy.That is all. Remember to drink your water, take your meds and eat. Take care 🌟
