😣 How Stress Affects You — and What You Can Do About It
A little stress can be useful — it helps push us into action. But when stress lingers or feels overwhelming, it can take a toll on both body and mind.

⚡ Physically, stress can cause headaches, muscle tension, chest pain, digestive issues, or sleep problems.

💭 Emotionally, it can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or even depressed.

The good news? Stress doesn’t have to control your life. By learning how stress works and finding healthy ways to manage it — like movement, mindfulness, rest, or reaching out for support — you can protect your health and improve your overall well-being.

Behind every statistic is a real story. Millions of people worldwide live with chronic or situational depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges—and many never receive the support they need.
Why? Stigma, misconceptions, and limited access to care keep too many from reaching out. 💔

This World Mental Health Day (October 10), we stand with global organizations in calling for awareness, compassion, and resources for all who need them.

💡 Remember: Seeking help is not weakness—it’s courage.

🌟 Why neurodiversity matters:
✔️ It reminds us we all think, act, and learn differently.
✔️ It reduces stigma around brain-based differences.
✔️ It helps create spaces where everyone feels valued and supported.

🧠 The term neurodiversity began as a social justice movement to highlight people whose brains process information differently — including ADHD, autism, OCD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Instead of focusing on “deficits,” neurodiversity emphasizes that these differences bring unique perspectives, innovative ideas, and important strengths.

Think of it like different operating systems: each with its own “apps,” functions, and challenges. None is better or worse — just different.

👉 Let’s celebrate what makes each of us unique and work toward more inclusive workplaces, schools, and communities.

What are the best types of meditation for anxiety? 🙋‍♀️
Many different types of meditation can be helpful for anxiety. You may want to try a few to find out which you like best. You can also use different techniques depending on how you feel in each moment:

1) Mindfulness meditation: With this type of meditation, you focus on your breathing, feeling your chest rise and fall with your eyes closed. You may notice your thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. Just let them float on.

2)Guided meditation: You can download a meditation app or find videos online to guide you through a meditation practice. The narrator may ask you to think of somewhere relaxing and focus on the sights, sounds and smells of that peaceful place.

3) Body scan: You can do this type of meditation on your own or with guidance. You may lie down with your eyes closed. Then, tense and relax muscles in one area before moving to the next and repeating the process until you've gone through your whole body.

Start with small, simple habits 😀 💪
Even if you’re not a morning fan, you still have things to do. You may have kids who need breakfast. You may need to walk your dog. And you still need to feed yourself.

None of that can happen without a morning routine. But it can be hard to start. Research shows it can take 66 days to form a simple habit, like eating fruit or taking a walk Adding habits to a routine can take even longer.

🗣️ Set yourself up for success. Ask what you need to make your mornings better. (The answer will be different for everyone.) Then try to follow the same plan every day.

Some tips to get you started:
If you want more time in bed in the morning, try some time-saving prep the night before.
For example, before bed, you could:
Lay out your clothes for the next day.
Prep breakfast.
Save dinner leftovers for lunch.
Or, if you want to sleep longer, try getting up 20 minutes earlier.

Take care of yourself
It’s crucial to keep yourself healthy, especially if you want to be there for the people you love. That means, covering the basics, like eating nutritious foods, getting enough quality sleep, taking time to relax and keeping active. It also means doing things you enjoy and taking breaks when you need them.

Be prepared for the journey
Recovery takes time and follows different paths based on the individual’s unique needs and preferences. Changing behavior is hard for everyone, regardless of their circumstances. What works well for one person may not work for another. Some people respond well to talk therapy and abstinence, while others benefit greatly from integrating medication for addiction use disorder or medication for opioid use disorder into their treatment plan.

Studies show more than half of people who ask for help and get it have a better quality of life after three months. But, keep in mind, many people attempt recovery more than once before they achieve long-term success. Relapsing is not a sign of weakness or failure. It’s just a difficult part of the recovery that some people experience.

There are 4 types of people everyone needs in their recovery support network. We’ll walk through each one and discuss why it's important. 👥 🗣️

1. Health professionals
“The first step in any recovery journey should be meeting with a professional”, says Alexander. “That might be your doctor. Or a psychiatrist. Or even a licensed drug or alcohol counselor. Try looking on your insurance's website. Or do a local Google search.”
“It’s important that someone with proper training assess your current situation,” she explains. “These pros can help you figure out what steps to take. There’s no single solution that will work for everyone. And some substances just aren’t safe to quit cold turkey.”

2. Support groups
Research shows that both in-person and virtual groups can help support recovery.2 The latter can be ideal for people who live in more remote areas, where accessibility may be an issue.
Regardless of which you choose, you’ll meet people facing similar challenges and triggers. “Connecting with others in recovery or sober friends will help you steer clear of situations that increase the possibility of relapse,” says Alexander.

3. People who share your interests and priorities
Healthy hobbies support your general well-being. That holds true in recovery, too. They can be a positive outlet for our energy and interests. And they help relieve stress that might trigger a relapse. They also allow you to connect with people who share your interests.

4. Supportive friends and family
Loved ones can be powerful allies. But they have to understand your new priorities and what you need to be successful in your recovery. (The college pal who prods you to come out drinking on weekends? Probably not an ideal person to be around right now.)
