You're Not Alone!!!

To everyone that's struggling with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, purposelessness, school/work/social stress, grief, loss, pain, addictions, and so much else:

You are NOT alone!!!

You're not a burden. You're not a failure. You're not worthless. In fact, you are seen, heard, and SO much more loved, precious, and amazing than you could ever imagine!!

I know you're going through so much right now. Each day might feel harder than the last. There are days where you're so overwhelmed by grief, loss, pain, trauma; or so exhausted you don't want to get up (even though there are so many tasks you have to do); or where your mind moves a million miles a minute, feeling so many emotions that come out of nowhere. Where you feel like you just can't catch a break. There are a thousand other scenarios that some of you may be going through.

I want to remind you all that no matter what, we love you and are here for you always. 

You're here for a purpose. The world is a much better place with you in it. Even though it may not feel like it right now, everything WILL absolutely get better! Joy has a habit of returning (one of my favorite quotes!)

For now, rest up and take as many breaks as you need--don't pressure yourself to do everything. Keep connecting with others and healing with them.

Try simple things, like walking outside and watching the sunrise/sunset. Text a friend you haven't talked to in a while. Take a warm shower. Build a pillow fort and wrap it in fluffy blankets. Rediscover old hobbies, or discover new ones. Pray, meditate, journal, and list 5 things you're grateful for. Always stay courageous and strong, and always keep moving forward! 

You can absolutely do this. We're with you every step of the way. Please never hesitate to reach out for help.

God bless you all and give you peace--sending you so much love and hugs!! 💗
