Thinking of giving up?

Do you ever think that no one understands what you are going through? You are not alone.

Reading other’s experiences can inspire you. Therapeutic writing is one of the ways to relieve stress and lower anxiety.

If you are going though a rough time, our anonymous guest blogger, Daddy Heaven, has been chronicling a rough adjustment that very few people will ever experience. They also wish to inspire and help others who life keeps kicking their butt. A link to their latest post is below.

Having someone listen to you and validate your feelings can make a world of a difference. We have a great list of local therapists on our website in the Referrals page.

If you wish to blog about your journey and share your story to help others email me at appointments@lakelinganorepsychiatry.com

If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, call 988, 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is for anyone who learned to hide it, stopped asking for help, worried they’d be judged, dismissed, or told to “get over it.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those phrases do not get the final say! Your mental health matters, and getting support could make a world of difference in how well you move through life, handle challenges, and manage your thoughts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If silence has become your survival skill, it may be time to get support that feels safe, compassionate, and real. We’re here for you! Reach out to schedule an appointment.

So many women with ADHD have gotten used to pushing through, masking well, overcompensating, and carrying more than they should.

Asking for help is not falling short! It is knowing yourself well enough to stop forcing everything uphill.

Save this mantra for the days when your brain is full, your patience is low, and your instinct is to keep struggling in silence. And if you need help from us at LLP, please reach out for an appointment!

There is still a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around medical ma*****na, especially for older generations who grew up hearing that it could only lead to harm. The reality is more nuanced.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some patients with severe anorexia, chronic pain, or PTSD, medical ma*****na certification may be one option within a broader, thoughtful treatment plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At LLP, we look at the full picture, including your symptoms, history, and current treatments, before determining what may be appropriate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have been wondering how to start this conversation, you can start here.
