Another beautiful sunset. I took a series of photos yesterday, and this one was my favorite, so I'm sharing it with you 🧡 It's been a slow morning for me, which is much needed and appreciated. How is everyone doing out there?

Hows everyones August going

What’s one thing—big or small—we can all do this week to refocus on what’s actually in our control when stress or overwhelm shows up? For me, the thing I’m focusing on is slowing down my mornings, stepping outside for a walk, and pausing before reacting. #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #Neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Addiction

Baffled

OK mighty team I need help here. I have an ex colleague who told me that they have a love addiction and that I am the target. This person let me know years ago that he had a crush on me and I told him under no circumstances could we ever have anything in a relationship other than a friendship because he’s four years older than my child how do I handle that if it’s constantly send me messages. I have not spoken to or seen this person in over two years, even though we work in the same building. Last week they reached out to me via chat (MSTeams) to tell they are doing bad because of this addiction. After looking into it, I decided that it was best for me to stay clear of this person for my own safety. They let me know that they understand that I’m married and still want to be friends. We have never communicated outside of work. Today he messaged me and asked if we could be best friends, I told him no. He asked why and told him my husband is my best friend. He asked me why again and said he wants to see me. I told no and let him know that he was starting to get close to harassment. I should I feel about this? I talked to a few colleagues and they agreed that this is becoming harassment. What do you think?🤔

Caught the last couple of visible stars in the sky at sunrise. Just thought this was kind of pretty and wanted to share. Having some coffee and getting ready for work now. What are you all up to today?

Random early morning thoughts

Woke up at 2 am in panic mode, which is the nature of #PTSD . Sometimes, I want to get in my car, turn on some music, and drive to the beach. It's a 20-minute drive. The thought is nice, but I have too many responsibilities right now, so I sit and quietly listen to Sleep Token in a dark family room that nobody uses anymore. It's quiet and calm, though, and I'm thankful for that. How are you all doing out there?

When depression takes over, it’s easy to move through life like you’re rushing to escape it.
Your mind races ahead.
Your body follows without thinking.

But what if you slowed down?
What if you moved as if each step mattered?

Feel your feet connect with the ground.
Notice the weight shifting.
Notice the rhythm of your body.

Let each step be steady, calm, and intentional.
When you move this way, you remind your mind that you are safe.

You teach your body there is no emergency right now.
You leave peace behind you instead of tension.

Sometimes recovery starts with something as simple as a slower step.

Next time you walk — even if it’s just across the room — try it slowly.

Breathe…Notice…

How does it change the way you feel?

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 I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.
