October 10 is World Mental Health Day. In veterinary medicine, mental health is essential. Long hours, emotional labor, financial stress, and compassion fatigue take a toll. This year, let’s normalize asking for help.

Let’s normalize rest.
Let’s normalize saying “I am not okay.”
Mental health is health.
Say it to your team.
Say it until it is understood.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s commit to making veterinary medicine a place where people can thrive, not just survive.

Scary thoughts can feel so loud… especially when we fight with them. The more we push them away, the more powerful they seem.

But here’s the gentle truth ✨ — thoughts lose their grip when we stop judging them and allow them to simply pass through. Like clouds in the sky ☁️… they come, they go, and they don’t have to define your day.

With practice, this shift from resistance to acceptance can bring so much relief and freedom. 🌱

How do you remind yourself to let thoughts come and go without judgment?

Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all ✨

🌊 GAD = worries that bounce from topic to topic (everyday stress on overdrive).
🔁 OCD = intrusive, sticky thoughts + compulsions to relieve the anxiety.

The BIGGEST difference? OCD thoughts feel intrusive and misaligned with your values (aka ego-dystonic), while GAD worries feel like everyday stress turned up way too high. ⁠

Knowing the difference matters—it’s the first step toward getting the right help. 💛

Anxiety doesn’t just live in our minds—it often makes itself known in our bodies too. From that racing heart ❤️ to the tension in your shoulders 💪 or the upset stomach 🤢, your body might be carrying stress signals that deserve gentle attention.

Remember: these sensations don’t mean you’re in danger—they’re just your nervous system trying to protect you (sometimes a little too much!). 🧠💛

With awareness and compassion, you can learn to respond in ways that bring more calm and balance. 🌿

👉 I’d love to know—where do you notice anxiety show up in your body?

OCD recovery isn’t about wiping away all doubt or uncertainty—it’s about building the skills to live fully even when those things show up. ❤️⁠

It’s learning to notice intrusive thoughts without turning them into puzzles you must solve, and finding freedom in moving forward anyway. 🌱

Recovery doesn’t mean a perfectly quiet mind—it means having the courage to carry on with kindness, compassion, and strength. 💪

What’s one way you remind yourself to keep going even when doubt shows up?

08/21/2025

OCD recovery isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about showing up—even when it’s hard, even when your mind tells you to quit.
⁠
These gentle reminders are here for the moments when doubt, fear, or exhaustion creep in. ⁠
⁠
✨ You can learn to step back from the noise in your mind.⁠
✨ You can hold space for uncertainty without needing to solve it.⁠
✨ You can treat yourself with the same compassion you’d offer a friend.⁠
⁠
You are doing incredibly brave work. And every step counts. Even the wobbly ones. ❤️
⁠
If you could turn one of these into a sticky note for your mirror, which would it be?

In a recent appearance on the Armchair Expert Podcast, country star Luke Combs opens up about his experience with OCD and how sticky the thoughts can be.

"But it focuses on questions that are unanswerable... and then you spend over 90 percent of your day thinking about that. And that can happen for months on end.”

We're grateful to Luke and the team at Armchair Expert for having this important conversation.

Research shows that Black male children are disproportionately diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Although exact percentages are not consistently reported, studies estimate that Black children account for 50–70% of ODD diagnoses, highlighting a substantial health disparity (Clifton & Clifton, 2022).

Clinical Psychology students at Alliant International University are hosting a virtual community focus group to learn more from Black adults who were diagnosed with ODD as children and those with Black family members who have been diagnosed with ODD. Their main goal is to document the lived experiences of those impacted by the health disparity of children diagnosed with ODD.

"The Overdiagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in Black Children and Adolescents"

The event welcomes anyone over age 18 in the following categories:
An individual who identifies as Black and was diagnosed with ODD as a child;
Educators (of any race) who have worked with a Black student diagnosed with ODD;
Clinicians (of any race) who have worked with a Black individual diagnosed with ODD;
Family members (of any race) related to a Black child diagnosed with ODD
