You may know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, but in case you don't, I will fill you in. That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out, emotionless, or even super emotional.

Crazy right? Why would anyone want to feel like that?

Well this is why!!

You see, some people suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that other people wouldn't. Most days they wake up sick and feel sleepless.

They consistently overthink every situation.
Was a comment about them; was it a joke?
Was that person supposed to laugh?
Or did they mean it?
Are they being nice?
Are they talking about them?
Do they talk about them?
They then think, I bet they don’t like me really.

They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone.
And for all those questions they will spend hours trying to answer. Let it all build up in their mind, until it sends them to tears...... it's mental that they see things that way.

It's not only mental changes, but physical changes. They don't eat a lot or they eat way too much. Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired.

They still smile and they have every excuse for when you ask why.
But the tablets can help them. Because they know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help.

They know that when their behavior starts to change, They need guidance. And they understand that they don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted. Everyone is fighting a battle and sometimes you need to be kinder.

So I may just be another person who's talking about mental health....

Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder. It’s also 100 times harder if they have another condition on top of this.

Don't suffer in silence.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

Be part of the healing.πŸ’™
Be understanding.πŸ’™
Be kind. πŸ’™

πŸ’™ Copied and pasted.πŸ’™

Sometimes don’t even try to understand, just simply love that person, support them, and be there when they need you. Some people in my life have truly mastered this, and for you I will forever be grateful!

How are you measuring success in your private practice? Is it strictly by your bottom line? Try adding in the cost of your time and the stress of doing tasks that you dislike doing. Success comes from doing what you love to do and leaving the rest to the people who love to do what they do. Don't measure success by the bottom line, it will never be fulfilling. Measure your success by the joy in what you do!

Being able to help determine the level of care that a potential needs is what we do. If you are using a virtual assistant for your mental health practice, this information is a must know.

When a person seeks information about treatment for themselves or their loved one, the importance of connecting them with the appropriate level of care right from the start cannot be overstated.

Are your lenses blurred? Mental health challenges can distort our perception of things and cause us to struggle more than we have to.

If your perception seems off or you feel out of sorts, there is no shame in seeking out a professional to speak to.

If no one has told you today, YOU MATTER! And you make the world a better place. All of us have issues and just because we cannot see someone else's, doesn't mean they are not real. If you feel like you need help, don't be afraid to talk about it with someone close who can assist you in getting the help you need or just being a listening ear.
