It is Seasonal Affective Disorder Month. For me, December 21st is a crucial date, as it marks the beginning of increased daylight. Although the progression may be gradual, it instills in me the hope I need, knowing that the dismal and dark days will gradually subside and brighter days are on the horizon.

For the exhausted woman who showers a few minutes longer to cry with the water...

For the person hidden in the bathroom, because she needs a few minutes of tranquility while slipping tears from her eyes.

For the woman who is so tired that she feels she can't continue, that she would give anything to feel like herself again...

For the woman who cries in her room when everyone leaves the house and for a moment she let's go...

For the woman who desperately battles with self Confidence when wearing denim pants because she wants to look pretty and wear them to feel better but everything just climbs over or can't close...

For the woman who orders pizza for dinner because she didn’t have the time to make dinner again as she expected... Because she's tired.

For the woman who feels alone, even when she's accompanied.

You're worth a lot.
You are important.
You are enough.
You are wonderful...

Even as a therapist, I need to remind myself of this at times. It is not always easy to do.

In many relationships, patterns emerge where individuals externalize blame rather than acknowledge their own role in conflict or dysfunction. This dynamic can create ongoing stress, emotional fatigue, and even impact one’s overall mental health.

It’s important to recognize that taking responsibility is a key component of healthy interpersonal functioning. When someone consistently avoids accountability, it often leads to relational imbalance—where one person is doing the emotional labor while the other remains unchanged.

For the sake of personal well-being, it can become necessary to set firm boundaries or, in some cases, to disengage from relationships that repeatedly undermine your mental or emotional stability. Making the decision to limit or end contact isn’t an act of punishment; it’s an evidence-based practice of protecting psychological health.

Prioritizing your well-being is not only appropriate—it’s essential.
