Chasing Attention

It hurts deeply when you sense someone pulling away. Depression can make that pain feel even heavier, because your mind twists it into proof that you are unwanted or unworthy.

But the truth is, someone avoiding you often says more about them than it does about you. People carry their own struggles, fears, and limitations.

Chasing after their attention only leaves you emptier.

Your energy is precious. Protect it by giving your time and heart to those who value you. Let go of the people who cannot show up for you, and open space for the ones who can.

You deserve connections built on respect, kindness, and love.

Think of one relationship that drains you more than it fills you. What boundary could you set today to protect your peace? Share your thought in the comments.

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 are your thoughts on gratitude? How does it show up in your life?

Gratitude is a term we often hear when talking about resilience, acknowledgment, appreciation, and awareness of the positive, helpful, and beneficial aspects of life. At the same time, it too requires balance and personal reflection. On one hand, gratitude allows us to notice and appreciate the people, places, moments, and opportunities that have crossed our paths. On the other hand, it can sometimes be seen as a form of “toxic positivity,” where the focus on being grateful minimizes or avoids the full range of emotions including those that are more uncomfortable—such as shame, guilt, grief, denial, confusion, or embarrassment—that are just as important to acknowledge and process.

📝 What are your thoughts and ideas on gratitude? How does it show up for you in your life?

TRUE or FALSE: I feel like I've had to redefine who I am because of my health.

Living with a health condition or disability often means navigating and adjusting to “new normals” as symptoms, support systems, relationships, medical care, work, and daily life shift over time.

How has your health shaped the way you see and define yourself? What do you miss about your “old self”? In what ways have you had to redefine who you are?
