My best friend

I went to the vet yesterday and my 13yr old dog Mayak had a panic attack when they took him in the other room. He already has breathing issues and a carcinoma in his neck so we did X-ray again and looks like the cancer isn't spreading but his larynx paralysis is giving him trouble. They had to put him on oxygen and they gave him a sedative and he looked terrible he couldn't walk so I carried him to the truck. It was breaking my heart seeing him like that I finally got home yesterday and now he is resting fine. It's a rare bond between chronically ill people and there pets this dog has been with me through seven surgeries and I can't imagine life without him 💙#Anxiety #OCD #RareDisease #MuscularDystrophy #ChronicPain #MajorDepressiveDisorder #PeripheralNeuropathy

your breath

So much of depression pulls you into the past or the future. Regrets about what happened. Fear about what’s coming.

But the present moment often gets forgotten. And the truth is, the present is the only place where healing can actually begin.

Your breath is the anchor. When you pay attention to it, even for just a few seconds, you pull yourself out of the endless cycle of “what was” and “what if.”

That simple act is not small. It is the doorway to change. Because when you are here, in this moment, you have the power to begin again.

Do you ever notice how your breath changes when you bring your awareness to it?

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.

Where healing begins

We live in a world that constantly tells us to move faster. Achieve more. Chase the next thing. And in that rush, we forget how to simply exist.

When you’re caught in depression, this pressure feels even heavier. Every thought becomes about what you don’t have, what you should have done, what you’re missing. But life is not always found in striving. Sometimes it’s found in pausing.

Take one moment to breathe. To notice the air, the light, the feeling of being alive right now. Not fixing. Not rushing. Just being.

That’s where healing begins.

When was the last time you let yourself simply be without pressure or judgment?

Compassion

So many people pour their hearts out for others. They listen, they comfort, they show up. But when it comes to themselves, they are ruthless. They judge, they criticize, they punish.

That is not compassion. That is conditional care. And conditional care cannot heal.

True compassion is not complete until it includes you. You deserve the same patience, the same forgiveness, the same kindness you give so freely to others.

Depression convinces you that you don’t. But that voice is lying. Compassion begins where the judgment ends.

So, what would change if you finally gave some compassion to yourself?
