Some stories change you forever.
When Dr. Duffy’s daughter, Madie, struggled with suicidal thoughts, their whole world shifted.
Together, they co-wrote Why Can’t She See Me? So no parent would feel alone, and no teenager would feel unable to ask for help.
But here’s what they also learned:
If you are chronically stressed or depleted, you cannot sustainably care for the people you love.
Stress isn’t just emotional. It becomes physical — showing up as anxiety, exhaustion, burnout, hormone imbalance, and sleep disruption.
If you’re overwhelmed or running on empty, that matters.
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.
If you or someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek immediate help. You are not alone. 💛
