None of us are broken. You are not broken. I am not broken. Some life moments hold sunshine, others are like a friggin' hurricane. And in both the sunshine and hurricane moments, the starting line for many of us is...to just breathe. xo

There are many people who feel the same way you do right now. Life can be messy and complicated at times, and although you might feel heavy and in the dark today, you are stronger than you know. There are many people that want to help you shine bright, find your light or just sit with you while you process the current fog. Please do not give up. Keep going. You are not alone.

You are not alone, and it's okay to ask for help. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Be kind to yourself, celebrate small victories, and remember that progress is progress, no matter how small!!

I'm so proud of you! I know how hard it can be sometimes. Please remember that you are never alone and that every win, no matter how big or small, is something to celebrate. Make time for the things that bring you joy, give yourself permission to slow down when you need it, and reach out to someone if it ever gets too much to handle on your own. The world is better with you in it <3

The beauty of life is that it is ever-changing, so the feelings that you have today and the circumstances you are enduring right now are not permanent. And as humans, we find strength in belonging and connection, so though you may feel like you can manage by yourself - please reach out to a loved one or a mental health support person. We want to help <3.

As a psychologist who has worked with youth for years, I know that it DOES get better. The key is not trying to push through alone. No matter how big the feelings, how dark the place, how overwhelming the anxiety, or how certain you are that you are unhelpable (or unworthy of help) reaching out for support to loved ones or trained mental health supports will make a difference.
