You’re doing everything “right.”

Work, family, the endless list, all still getting done.

But somewhere along the way, the spark that used to keep you going… dimmed.

That’s often how high-functioning depression shows up.

You’re moving through the motions,

but joy feels just out of reach.

It can look like:

🌙 Feeling numb even when life looks “good”
💭 Guilt for resting or slowing down
💼 Overworking to avoid feeling empty
💔 Losing interest in what once made you come alive

You don’t have to fall apart to deserve care.

And you don’t have to keep performing strength when you’re running on empty.

✨ If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you find your way back to yourself, one small step, one safe space at a time.

Not all leftovers fit in the fridge.

After Thanksgiving, many of us are carrying more than we realize:
• The unfinished goals
• The unspoken needs
• The expectations we never asked for

These emotional leftovers don’t always show up on our calendars, but they take up space—in our minds, in our bodies, and in our days.

If you’re feeling stretched thin as the year winds down, you’re not alone.

And you don’t have to carry it all to cross the finish line.

✨ Take a breath.
✨ Make room for reflection.
✨ Let this be your reminder: your needs matter too.

📝 What’s one emotional “leftover” you’re ready to release before the year ends?

Lately, many women I work with describe feeling deeply sad — yet they’re still showing up to work, parenting, volunteering, managing everyone’s lives.

That’s the tricky thing about high-functioning anxiety and depression:
It doesn’t always look like staying in bed all day.
Sometimes it looks like doing everything… and feeling nothing.

👉 You still make the lunches, answer the emails, hit the deadlines — but you can’t shake the heaviness.
👉 You have ideas and goals, but no bandwidth to bring them to life.
👉 You’re proud of keeping it together, yet quietly grieving that you can’t live life on your own terms right now.

Here’s the truth I remind my clients of:
Anxiety and depression are sister symptoms. When anxiety drives you to overfunction and overperform for too long… the other side of that coin is often a crash — a season of sadness, fatigue, or disconnection.

So if you’re noticing that sadness creeping in as the seasons change, it doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It might just mean your body and mind are asking you to pause.

💛 You don’t need to push harder — you need space to feel again.

✨ Therapy that honors culture, connection, and change.

We’re so grateful to welcome Maria Jabri, Marriage & Family Therapy Intern, to the Catalyst team.

Maria brings a calm, compassionate presence to her work with individuals, couples, children, and families. Fluent in both English and Arabic, she’s especially passionate about supporting women and families who often feel unseen in traditional mental health spaces.

Her approach is collaborative and rooted in curiosity, helping clients re-author the stories that shape their relationships and reclaim the strength within them.

At Catalyst, Maria offers a space where culture and healing can coexist, where you don’t have to explain who you are to begin your journey toward change. 🌿

Some seasons ask us to pause.

To admit we’re tired, not because we’re weak,

but because we’ve been carrying so much for so long.

Strength isn’t about never falling.

It’s about learning how to rise, gently, this time.

So if your joy feels a little far away,

start here:

with one breath, one honest moment, one small act of care.

✨ You were never meant to do it all without support.
