🧠 Depression doesn’t need a reason.
💭 Anxiety doesn’t listen to logic.
🔁 OCD doesn’t care about convenience.

Your mental health doesn’t have to “make sense” for it to be valid. 💗
Every struggle deserves understanding and you deserve support. 💬

At Red Couch Counseling, we believe no one in our community should go hungry. This season, we're asking for your help to make sure our neighbors have food on their tables. Asking for help is brave. Giving help is sacred. If you are able, we invite you to join us by dropping off non- perishable food items at any of our locations. Every can, every box, every small act of kindness matters. Give what you can take what you need.

Feel mentally and physically drained, but not sure why? It's possible you are giving your energy to things that contribute to that feeling.
