What's a piece of advice, insight, life hack, or tip you've received for your health that was actually helpful?

When you live with a health condition, advice can come from all directions — friends, family, doctors, even strangers. Sometimes it feels overwhelming or unwanted, even when it’s well-intentioned. But every so often, a piece of advice or a small tip arrives at just the right moment and makes a difference.

Maybe it’s a coping strategy, a mindset shift, or a practical life hack that makes your days a little easier.

💡 What’s a piece of advice, insight, or tip you’ve received for your health that was actually helpful?

No need to impress anyone

When you are living with depression, the pressure to impress others can make the struggle even heavier.

You already feel exhausted, yet you keep trying to prove that you are fine, strong, or successful.

But freedom begins when you no longer need to impress anyone.

You don’t have to hide your pain.

You don’t have to perform for approval.

You can start living for yourself instead of for others.

That shift is powerful. It gives you space to heal and focus on what actually matters — your recovery, your peace, your strength.

Do you feel pressure to impress others while struggling inside? Share your experience in the comments — your honesty could help someone else feel less alone.

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:
