Singapore is becoming a super-aging society by 2026, and many seniors are quietly carrying worries that often go unseen. Stephanie Chan, our Clinical Psychologist, recently shared insights on what our seniors in Singapore are most concerned about, and how we can support them with more empathy and connection.

Many seniors long for purpose after retirement. Stephanie shared that having time for hobbies, or passing down their skills, helps them feel valued and still connected to society. Loneliness is not just about being alone, itโ€™s about feeling unseen.

Entering their 60s and beyond, some seniors start questioning their worth: โ€œIs this all my life amounts to?โ€ Even with more free time, not knowing how to use it meaningfully can leave them feeling lost. Stephanie emphasised the importance of helping seniors plan for fulfilment, not just retirement.

Many older adults continue to hold emotional stress about their childrenโ€™s wellbeing, even in their later years. One simple, powerful thing we can all do? Notice them. A small chat, a smile, or acknowledging their presence can help them feel like they still matter in our community.

As we head into a super-aging Singapore, supporting our seniors starts with small daily acts of connection. Letโ€™s make space for them to feel seen, valued, and included. ๐Ÿ’›

This reflection is for you.
ย 
As we countdown the days till 2026, itโ€™s easy to slip into pressure, comparison, or self-criticism, whether youโ€™re a working adult, student, parent, single, or just trying to keep life together. If your goals didnโ€™t go as planned or youโ€™re ending the year feeling tired, behind, or unsureโ€ฆ take a breath.
๐Ÿ’› You didnโ€™t fail. You grew in quiet ways you may not have noticed.
ย 
This gentle year-end reflection is here to help you look back with kindness, not pressure. To acknowledge what actually went well, what was hard, and what you want to carry into the new year in a way that supports your mental health and real life, not the perfect version of it.

Stephanie Chan, our Clinical Psychologist, recently spoke on Capital 958FM, alongside Kenneth Kong, about year-end anxiety and why so many working adults, parents and young people in Singapore feel extra stressed as Christmas and New Year approach.
ย 
She shared how holiday stress can show up as:
โ€ข worrying about gifts, gatherings and family expectations
โ€ข feeling responsible for โ€œkeeping everyone happyโ€
โ€ข trying to control every detail
Over time, this constant pressure can drain your mental health and leave you feeling tense, irritable, and tired.
ย 
In her segment, Stephanie also talked about simple, science-backed tools to calm the body and mind, such as:
โ€ข deep breathing exercises like 4โ€“4โ€“4 breathing
โ€ข progressive muscle relaxation to ease tight, tense muscles
โ€ข taking a short walk or activities to bring โ€œbreathing spacesโ€ in your day
Most importantly, she reminded listeners that it may be time to seek support when anxiety, low mood or stress start to affect your daily life, sleep, appetite, focus, motivation or relationships.

Swipe through for key takeaways from Stephanieโ€™s conversation on managing holiday stress, year-end anxiety and finding small moments of joy, even in a heavy season. You donโ€™t have to navigate this alone ๐Ÿ’›

In A24โ€™s Eternity, Luke waits 67 ๐™ฎ๐™š๐™–๐™ง๐™จ for his first love. Romanticโ€ฆ and a little sad, too.
So, is it true that men never get over their first love?
ย 
Hereโ€™s the simple truth.
๐Ÿญ) ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† โ€œ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐˜€โ€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜
Romantic experiences usually occur at a younger age where our brains are absorbent like a sponge. Along with the combination of dopamine, oxytocin and stress hormones, it embeds the memories deeper.
๐Ÿฎ) ๐—ข๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ โ€œ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟโ€
Over time, we remember the sweet parts more than the messy parts.
So first love can turn into an idea, not the real person.
๐Ÿฏ) ๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, ๐—ถ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€
There arenโ€™t strong proof that men feel their first love deeper than women.
But many men are taught to keep heartbreak inside.
When feelings stay inside, they can hang around longer. (This happens to anyone who keeps it in!)

Only if it takes up too much space now, or gets in the way of loving someone in the present.

The holidays can feel heavy when youโ€™re grieving, and thatโ€™s okay.
For many, the lights, music, and gatherings are painful reminders of someone theyโ€™ve lost. A partner. A parent. A child. A friend. Even a beloved pet. If thatโ€™s you, know that your feelings are valid.
ย 
Grief doesnโ€™t follow the calendar, and it doesnโ€™t take a holiday.
Youโ€™re allowed to remember your loved one in your own way, take things slow, protect your energy, and lean on people who make you feel safe.
ย 
If this season feels overwhelming, reaching out for support can help. You donโ€™t have to navigate loss on your own. ๐Ÿ’›

As we count down to the end of 2025, some people are quietly carrying year-end stress, new year anxiety, and emotional heaviness. For many, itโ€™s more than just worrying about the future. It may be loneliness, burnout, or the weight of everything theyโ€™ve been holding together.

15/12/2025

The devastating news from the Bondi Beach shooting, and the recent fire in Hong Kong, and other unfortunate news around the world has left many feeling shaken, even here in Singapore. When tragedies unfold so suddenly and so close together, our minds and bodies can feel the impact more deeply than we expect.
ย 
If you have been feeling unsettled, anxious or emotionally heavy, you are not alone. These are normal responses to witnessing distressing events, even from afar.
ย 
We hope you care for yourself in gentle ways during times like these: limiting overwhelming news, grounding your emotions, keeping to simple routines, connecting with trusted people, and knowing when professional support may help.
ย 
Give yourself permission to slow down and take things one step at a time. Your feelings are valid, and tending to your well-being is important.
