The holidays are painted as a time of joy, family, and connection — but for many, it can feel isolating instead. If you’re feeling lonely, left out, or disconnected right now, please know: you’re not the only one.

💭 It’s okay if this season feels heavy.
Maybe plans changed, relationships shifted, or you just don’t feel the spark everyone talks about. That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you — it means you’re human.

🎃 This Halloween, let's talk about more than just ghosts and ghouls. Let's talk about our nervous systems.

Between the flashing lights, sudden spooky sounds, scratchy costumes, and crowds, Halloween can be a peak time for overstimulation. It's a lot for our brains and bodies to process!

If you start feeling irritable, anxious, or want to shut down amidst the fun, that might be your body signaling it's overwhelmed. That's a cue for self-regulation.

It’s okay to treat your well-being with as much care as your costume. 🧡
