When the season of joy doesn’t always feel joyful 🌿
The holidays are filled with lights, celebration, and togetherness but not everyone feels merry and bright. If this season feels heavy, complicated, or overwhelming, you’re not alone.
Grief, depression, anxiety, and strained relationships can make “happy holidays” feel anything but simple. And it’s important to remember:
✨ It’s okay to step back.
✨ It’s okay to say no.
✨ It’s okay to take care of you.
Boundaries and self-care aren’t selfish, they’re necessary. Release the guilt and give yourself permission to rest, reset, and protect your peace. 💚
If you’re struggling, ENSO Psychiatric Services is here to help. Our compassionate team of psychiatric nurse practitioners and therapists provides support for depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.
If you ever find yourself in crisis, call or text 988 for immediate help.
You don’t have to feel joyful to be worthy of joy. 🌿
