mental health

In what’s been the most difficult year of my life, animal companionship has been as essential to my mental wellbeing as the time spent with my family.

I have met many people who can't say no. We all benefit when we speak clearly and frequently about what we need in order to thrive.

It was my pattern: if therapy got too intense, if I started feeling better, or if I was referred to a psychiatrist, I’d just stop going. I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that I had a mental disorder.

Deciding to tell your partner that you want to see a therapist can be scary. And sometimes it's even a good idea to see someone together!

Depression is difficult to live with, alone, or in a couple.

Winter is upon us! It sure can be tempting to just hunker down into that depression, and make yourself a home of blankets. But let's stay mentally healthy!

The amount of mental/emotional/invisible labor that we carry out every day, in addition to kids and regular work, takes a toll. It's okay to be exhausted.

The elephant in the room is my mental illness. Do my anxiety and depression make me unworthy of love?
