A stable sense of self is crucial for navigating the psychological demands of the online world. That includes normalising failure, talking about burnout, and finding a supportive ecosystem that values more than just output. When navigated healthily, the creator economy can help build careers that offer autonomy, expression, and fulfilment—all vital to mental well-being.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is more than “morning sickness.” For many women, it can be physically and emotionally overwhelming, and the mental impact can last long after pregnancy.
Pregnancy looks different for everyone. Struggling doesn’t make you weak, and your feelings are valid. Every journey deserves compassion, understanding, and support. 💛

Living within the same estate (HDB, condo, landed) means frustrations are bound to happen. The first step is knowing what’s within and outside your control.
𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹:
• Work from a different location or adjust hours on noisy days
• Add soundproofing at home (e.g., door seals)
• Seek help via your town council, Community Mediation Centre, or your MP
𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: your neighbour’s intentions and actions.
Understanding their situation can also help us empathise with them better and reduce conflict. For example, some are juggling tough situations (eg, single parenting, caregiving, special needs, shift work).
Navigating menopause isn’t easy for women or their partners.
One is managing new symptoms while the other is trying to understand and help. It’s okay if a partner doesn’t fully get it; she’s still figuring it out too. Small gestures go a long way: a hug, “How are you feeling today?”, and listening without trying to fix. Learn together, step by step.
Battling with cancer not only takes a toll on the physical body, but also on mental health from treatments, monitoring the condition, and more.
Dr. Annabelle shares 7 tips on coping with the emotional toll of cancer.
1. Acknowledge your feelings
2. Reach out for support
3. Journal your thoughts
4. Be gentle with yourself
5. Nurture self-care
6. Stay present when you can
7. Seek professional support
If one day, someone you know opens up to you on their suicidal ideation. It’s normal to feel perplexed about what to do next.
Hear them out non-judgmentally, acknowledge what they’re feeling and going through, don’t try to “fix” them, and encourage them to seek professional help.

Loneliness and social isolation are linked to a higher risk of premature death.
In Singapore, local surveys show the average number of close friends fell from 10.67 (2018) to 6.49 (2024).
For younger people, online-only connections (e.g., in-game friends, social media), though convenient, can crowd out face-to-face connections that you lean on for help or serious conversations.
And as for older adults, living alone after children move out, retirement, and cost concerns can deepen isolation.
Would you be open to ways that help you build new and potentially deep connections offline?
If not, why is it so?
When introverts feel pushed to act unnaturally, self-doubt grows. In the short term it looks like stress or anxiety; over time, it can chip away at self-esteem and lead to burnout. Real wins don’t come from acting extroverted. They come from reframing and leaning into your strengths: deep focus, thoughtful communication, and calm decision-making.
Healing doesn’t always roar.
Sometimes it’s in the quiet choices; the deep breath, the gentle ‘no,’ the little act of kindness toward yourself.
If you’ve done even one of these lately, you’re doing better than you think💛
