Family & Friends of People with Mood Disorders virtual support group is for family members and friends of someone with a mood disorder.

This group provides opportunities to share valuable coping strategies and practical information that helps you support your loved ones experiencing mental health challenges.

Mood disorders include: major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder (mania – euphoric, hyperactive, over inflated ego, unrealistic optimism), persistent depressive disorder (long lasting low grade depression), cyclothymia (a mild form of bipolar disorder), and SAD (seasonal affective disorder). (From www.mentalhealthamerica.net/conditions/mood-disorders)

💻 If you'd like more information or would like to join, you can find the link here. Virtual groups are every 3rd Monday of the month, 6:30-8 PM Eastern Standard Time. Closed captioning is available: naminycmetro.org/programs/family-friends-of-people-with-mood-disorders

We don’t know about everyone else, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like there’s enough time in a day to get everything done, let alone practice self-care. More time in your day (we hope it actually comes true!) — even just 30 minutes — can provide the opportunity to take a break, watch a quick episode of your favorite show, or even indulge in a power nap if you find those helpful.

If you were able to get an extra 30 minutes today, how would you spend it?

Often times we struggle to love ourselves, and instead give all of our love away. What's one thing you can do today to show yourself some self love this week?

Go little. So often we forget that we are allowed to do LESS. Especially when we are overwhelmed. The trick isn't to do more, it's to have grace and slow down.

Progress isn't actually measured by the big steps. It's measured by the small consistent ones.

When we use the term "self-care," we may understand it to loosely mean the practice of setting time and energy aside for ourselves and our needs in order to promote wellness and manage our health. This may look different for everyone depending on how they define what works best for them, but in reality, actually engaging in self-care may be roadblocked by unavoidable or unforeseen circumstances.

What are your thoughts on prioritizing self-care? Is it easy for you? What kind of roadblocks are in your way?
