“Hey Alexa, play ‘Tired’ by Beabadoobee” Is it the pandemic, is it existing in 2023, is it my allergies, is this the feeling of getting old? Personally, I’ve been dealing with a chronic feeling of “tired AF” for quite a while now, and I seem to run through a list of questions to myself...

Sharing a great community resource for individuals (and families!!) needing support!

In honor of I wanted to share this image. So many times when I work with individuals, often discussing depression, suicidality, and self-injury this word pops up, “burden.”

The image reads, “You’re not a burden. You’re a human.”

If you’re struggling with thoughts of feeling like a burden, please reach out today to get support!
