Help us

Approximately 280 million people in the world have depression according to the World Health Organization. Most seek no treatment. The top suggestions are therapy, exercise, and community. Women especially, are taught not to complain. Don’t be dramatic. Walk it off. Be grateful for what she does have. We stuff down our emotions so well, we don’t even acknowledge their existence. Even when we are seething with rage, or frustratedly crying, we may think WTF. But then we march right onto the next thing. We are badass! But to our own detriment. How can we be more encouraging, if we are struggling?

If time actually healed people, no one in the world would be hurting. Time is simply space, what matters is how you use it. The real difference comes when we fill time intentionally with self-love, letting go, and building new habits.”

What is the most difficult component of our lives if we dig down deep?

If we then thought, why don’t we do something about this? For some of us, it is financial restrictions. We want a new job, but worry about money. We want to be single, but worry about living on a single income. We want a full-time nanny/tutor/maid but can’t budget it in.

Let’s pretend our best friend has the same biggest struggle. Could you help her? Get her to dig deeper onto her fears, what is stopping her from making the right next step? What is something small she could do?

Here are some suggestions for our bestie. Let’s all try them and see which one we think is the most helpful. Comment below.

1. Rant, out loud, on paper, to no one. Just keep going and going. Let it all out. Every single thought no matter how redundant.
2. Find something that smells soothing. Essential oils are essential to peace of mind.
3. Go for a power walk, do some kickboxing, get on that Peleton. Work up a sweat.
4. Sit in silence for as long as you can stand it. Tell the brain to pause please.
