“Just a reminder: healing isn’t linear.
Some days will feel heavy, some lighter — both are part of the process.
Be gentle with yourself today.”

When depression isn’t improving with standard meds or therapy, there are next steps:

• TMS – non-invasive brain stimulation
• New medication options and NEXT STEP TREATMENTS – rapid-acting mood support
• Medication optimisation – switching or augmenting
• Trauma-focused therapies – EMDR, ACT, schema
• Lifestyle/biological factors – sleep, hormones, inflammation

You’re not out of options. Contact us at AwareHub for more information.

Your brain processes social rejection in the same regions that register physical pain — particularly the anterior cingulate cortex and insula.

This means that when you feel excluded, ignored, or criticised, your brain literally reacts as if you’ve been physically hurt — which helps explain why rejection can feel so intensely painful and hard to “just get over.”

🌍 World Mental Health Day/Week 2025

Theme: Mental Health in Humanitarian Emergencies

🧠 Today we pause to acknowledge that mental health is a universal human right — especially for those facing displacement, conflict, trauma or crisis.

Whether global or personal, crises can profoundly affect our wellbeing. Reaching out, listening, and supporting one another can make all the difference.

At AwareHub, we stand for compassion, connection and care — in our clinics, communities and beyond.

💬 Let’s continue to break the stigma and build a culture where seeking support is seen as strength.

Contained emotions create a sense of safety. Uncontained emotions cause chaos and feel unsettling. It can cause us to act out in ways that cause further harm and destruction. We can become frantic. Learning to contain emotions is empowering. It does not mean that you suppress your emotions but rather learn to hold them, reflect and make good choices for yourself.

🥺Worry is part of being human — but when it becomes constant, exhausting, and starts to interfere with sleep, focus, or daily life, it may be more than “just stress.” Recognising this is the first step. Getting help matters because untreated anxiety can grow, while the right support can bring relief, clarity, and calm. 💙 You don’t need to carry it alone.
