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?

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. So if you or anyone you know is struggling with these issues and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions:

what part of your life are you ready to reset today?

So many people believe there’s an expiration date on starting over. They tell themselves, “It’s too late. I should have figured it out by now.”

But the truth is, life doesn’t work like that.

As long as you are alive, the reset button is still there. You can start over at 30, at 40, at 60. You can rebuild, restart, reinvent—again and again if you need to.

Depression convinces you that your chance has passed. But as long as you’re breathing, it hasn’t.

So here’s the question: if the reset button is always pressable, what part of your life are you ready to reset today?

Letting go

The past has a way of chaining itself to you. Mistakes, regrets, heartbreaks—your mind replays them over and over until it feels like you’re stuck there forever.

But if you don’t let the past die, it won’t let you live.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means refusing to give old pain control over your present. It means choosing to live for what’s ahead, instead of being dragged down by what’s already behind you.

So here’s the question: what’s one thing from your past that you’re ready to release today?

Wednesday

I have therapy at 11am till noon. I'm planning to tell him how bad the depression is right now. We have an assessment for when I feel depressed or down.
AThen at 6pm I have a telehealth appointment with my diabetes specialist. I don't know what we're doing during the session.
Pauley joins the session. My instructor has said that Pauley joining my calls shows how devoted to me and supportive she is.
I took my night meds including 3 hydroxyzine and 1 tramadol. My mid back hurts so much.
I found more support groups on Facebook. One is Dating for Transgender people. I haven't really had much experience being around trans guys. Most of my experiences are with MtF trans girls and androgynous trans people.
I also found a group for Asexuals seeking non sexual partners. It's pretty active. I feel really good in the groups.
I'm really craving fried chicken and fried okra. Oh and mmmmmmm fried plantains!!! And roasted cabbage with bacon. And the rice from the Jamaican restaurant in Detroit. It's soooooo good.
My favorite culinary cultures are Japanese, Chinese, Mexican street food, and Jamaican food. I want to learn more about their food / culture. My Google foo tells me there's a Jamaican restaurant in my town. I'll have to see if I can order from doordash.

Invest in yourself

Think of all the ways you invest in others—your work, your friends, your family.

Now ask yourself, when was the last time you truly invested in you?

Meditation, reading, nourishing your body, moving, resting, connecting with nature… these aren’t luxuries. They’re reminders that you are worthy of care.

Depression and self-doubt will try to convince you that you don’t matter. But every glass of water, every deep breath, every healthy meal, every small act of self-care is proof that you do.

So here’s the challenge: what’s one way you’ll invest in yourself today?

What do you need to start believing about yourself today?

Somebody has already found joy and success while standing in the same storm you are in right now.

That means it’s possible for you too.

The difference is not the situation. It’s whether or not you believe in yourself.

If you keep telling yourself “I can’t,” then you won’t even give yourself the chance. But if you start saying, “I can,” you’ve already taken the first step forward.

So here’s my question for you: what do you need to start believing about yourself today?

Making Sense of My Lab Results: How I Learned to Understand Insulin Resistance

For years I struggled with unexplained fatigue, body aches, and weight changes that didn’t seem to match my lifestyle. My doctor eventually suggested checking for insulin resistance. That’s when I first learned about the HOMA-IR index.

Like many patients, I found the lab report overwhelming. Numbers were printed, but no context was given. I wanted to know what those numbers meant for my health and how I could follow up.

After some research, I discovered that HOMA-IR is a calculation that uses fasting glucose and fasting insulin to estimate insulin resistance. This is important because insulin resistance can be linked not only to diabetes but also to cardiovascular health, hormonal balance, and even chronic fatigue.

What helped me was breaking the information down into three steps:

1. **Get the right labs.** Always ask your doctor for fasting glucose and fasting insulin. Without both, HOMA-IR can’t be calculated.

2. **Use a reference tool.** Online calculators can help you make sense of the numbers. For example, this [HOMA-IR calculator]After some research, I discovered that HOMA-IR is a calculation that uses fasting glucose and fasting insulin to estimate insulin resistance. is a calculation that uses fasting glucose and fasting insulin to estimate insulin resistance.

lets you enter your results and gives you an estimate. I only use it as a *reference*, not a replacement for medical advice.

3. **Discuss with your healthcare provider.** Armed with the numbers and a bit of understanding, I was able to ask more informed questions at my next appointment.

Learning to understand my lab results didn’t cure my fatigue overnight, but it gave me a sense of control. It turned confusion into a conversation with my doctor, and that made all the difference.

If you’ve ever felt lost looking at lab numbers, know that you’re not alone. With the right tools and the right support, those numbers can become the first step toward better health.

Surrender is not giving up. It is acceptance. And acceptance is where healing begins.

When you hear the word surrender in mental health, what do you think of?

Giving up? Losing? Not caring anymore?

That’s not what surrender is.

Surrender isn’t letting depression win.

It isn’t being taken advantage of.

It isn’t weakness.

Surrender means acceptance.

It’s meeting yourself where you are, without judgment.

And when you accept, you create space for peace.

Then even small actions—drinking water, taking a walk, replying to a message—become alive with meaning.

You don’t need to fight everything to heal.

Sometimes the path forward starts with letting go.

What does surrender mean to you? Weakness, or strength?

Love feels most powerful when it flows outward.

When you beg for love, you put your worth in someone else’s hands. But when you give love—without expectation—you realize how much you already have inside of you.

Depression often tricks you into believing you are unworthy, unloved, or unlovable.

Yet the simple act of offering kindness, compassion, or patience—even to yourself—reminds you that love is not something you lack. It is something you carry.

Remember, good people are always beautiful, because their beauty comes from what they give.

So today, instead of waiting to receive, try becoming the source.

What’s one small way you can give love today?
