We’ve all had bad days — even bad weeks. But depression is different.

Depression isn’t just feeling sad or waking up on the wrong side of the bed. It can make it hard to get out of bed at all. Hard to shower. Hard to get dressed. Hard to feel joy, motivation, or relief — especially during the holiday season when expectations are high and energy is low.

If the holidays feel heavier than usual, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may mean you’re dealing with depression — and that deserves care, not judgment.

💙 Our newest blog breaks down what depression really looks like during the holidays and why “just push through it” doesn’t work.

Have you ever heard the song “Blue Christmas” by Elvis? 🎶

For many people, it’s more than just a holiday song — it’s a real reflection of how the season feels when sadness, grief, or depression show up instead of joy.

Holiday depression can look like:
• Losing interest in things you once enjoyed
• Pulling away from people or activities
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Feeling hopeless, stuck, or like a failure

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

💙 We just published a new blog exploring why depression can worsen during the holidays and what actually helps.

The holidays aren’t joyful for everyone — and that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. 💙

Depression and grief symptoms often increase during the holiday season due to loss, loneliness, pressure to be merry, disrupted routines, and financial stress.

In our newest blog, A Blue Christmas, we talk honestly about why the holidays can feel heavier, how depression and grief show up differently this time of year, and what actually helps (hint: it’s not “just think positive”).

✨ Small steps matter. ✨ Grace matters more than perfection.

🛏️ Yes — it’s okay to worry! But don’t let it ruin your sleep.

CBT-I uses scheduled worry time to keep racing thoughts out of bed. Here’s how it works:
• Set a timer and let yourself think through your worries.
• When the timer ends, ask: “Does this need attention now?”
• If yes, give yourself 5 more minutes; if no, revisit tomorrow.

Think of it as giving your worries a safe place to “party” so your mind can finally rest. 🎉💤

😴 “Sleep is overrated.” If that’s your motto, here’s your no-filter reality check.

Insomnia is MORE than being tired. The long-term and short-term effects hit hard:
• Slower reaction time (dangerous behind the wheel)
• Forgetfulness & increased mistakes
• Irritability that strains relationships
• Anxiety, overwhelm & depression from ongoing fatigue
• Physical health risks: hypertension, stroke, heart attack & diabetes

When one part of you is exhausted, every system works overtime — like rowing a boat with someone dragging their oar in the water. 😩🚣‍♂️

✨ The good news? You can treat insomnia. Evidence-based approaches like CBT-I help reset your sleep so your body and brain can finally catch up.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Annapolis?

Just the beginning!

I am opening a private practice using telemental health. I use a secure platform to have video sessions with people in the (private) setting of their choice. There are no apps to download, no passwords to remember. It is as simple as receiving a text message on your smart phone and clicking a link. I venture to say it is easier than FaceTime or Skype. I have openings in the evenings to help accommodate busy schedules. I accept BlueCross and self pay. I work with individuals going through all types of struggle, I have a strong background in trauma, addiction, and veteran (and veteran family) support.
