Loss and grief can look wildly different from person to person. We can experience loss of a job, a loved one, a pet. But we can also experience the loss of things like an expectation or a hope/dream. The type of loss is not necessarily an indicator of how you should grieve.

Many people have heard of the 5 stages of grief, but there are also many types of grief as well. You may experience grief more emotionally, or you may experience it more in physical symptoms. Sometimes the grief is delayed and sometimes it is chronic. No matter how you grieve it is important that you really feel and process those emotions, and when you’re ready it may be a good idea to speak with a mental health professional.

Knowing your love language(s), whether it’s one of the classic/original 5 listed above or not, can help you communicate to a partner or loved one how you best receive love and how you tend to show it. Having conversations about physical, emotional, and other needs, whether you use the original 5 “love languages” or come up with some new ones of your own, is vital for healthy relationships.

There are lots of online quizzes you can take to find out your love language. Talking with a therapist can also be helpful in figuring out how to identify your needs and expectations, and how to communicate them! Whether you want to seek out therapy services for yourself or for you and your partner, Journey Mental Health has a therapist for you.

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and we wanted to give you a reminder that you don’t have to have a romantic relationship to have love to celebrate. You can celebrate your love with friends, partners, family, pets, or any other relationship that means something to you. All of our relationships are important to us, and you don’t have to have a romantic one to find love and fulfillment.

Disappointment after the holidays is really hard. Sometimes things don’t go how we wanted or expected, people fight, we miss out on presents, we feel like we don’t have enough money, relationships are strained, that one recipe didn’t turn out…. All of these things and more can happen during the holidays, and it’s ok to be disappointed. There is no shame in not feeling as happy or fulfilled as you wanted to be.

As we enter a new year, and your feed and tv commercials are filled with talk about New Year’s resolutions, we wanted to give you a reminder that life is not a constant self-improvement exercise. Sometimes you just need to live as you are for a while and enjoy the things around you.

“Life is not a self-improvement exercise. You do not exist to race on a treadmill to nowhere in search of optimization and advancement.” -Nora McInerny

It can be difficult to maintain boundaries with friends and family because we never want them to feel excluded or that their feelings are not valid. At the same time, if there are boundaries that you have put into place with your child then you should be able to uphold those boundaries around family without guilt. You know what works for your family and what is right for you, even if it doesn’t work for other people you are related to.

It is such an appealing idea that we can control everything in our lives, especially during stressful times like the holidays! We like to think we could get rid of surprises, bad days, and difficult relationships. Unfortunately, most things are not in our control. We cannot control how other people think, feel, or react to us. What is in our control is how we let those things affect us and how we respond. Therapy can be a helpful tool for learning how to process your own feelings, as well as learning how to process and improve the interactions you have with others. If therapy is something you have been wanting to look into, visit our website (link in bio) to learn more.

Sometimes the best choice for your mental health and well-being is to leave the traditions and beliefs that you grew up with. When the holidays roll around, they can stir up some difficult feelings about the ways you used to celebrate. We wanted to present some options for how you can approach the holidays in a way that can be healing and nurturing to the relationships that you have been building with yourself and others.

Seasonal Affective Disorder:

What It Feels Like:
SAD is a type of depression that comes and goes with the seasons, usually hitting hardest in the darker months of fall and winter.

Emotional Struggles:
It can feel like a constant low mood, low energy, and a lack of motivation to do things you’d normally enjoy, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

Why It Happens:
With less sunlight in winter, our bodies can get out of sync, which messes with our mood and energy levels, often leading to that heavy, drained feeling.

Who It Affects:
SAD is more common in places with long, dark winters and can be more likely if depression runs in your family, making it feel like a struggle year after year.

Ways to Feel Better:
Treatments like light therapy, counseling, and making small lifestyle changes—like going outside more often—can make a real difference, helping bring back some light during those tough months.

Unplugging from work and devices is essential for mental and physical well-being, as constant connectivity can lead to burnout and increased stress. Taking breaks from screens allows us to recharge, refocus, and improve productivity when we return. Prioritizing time offline also strengthens relationships and fosters mindfulness, helping us stay present in our daily lives.

Between making plans and putting together a costume (for yourself or a partner or a kid or a pet!), you probably have a lot going on.
