→ Handle everything on your own

At The Chesapeake Center, we offer:

✓ A judgment-free space to process what you're feeling
✓ Tools to manage stress without toxic positivity
✓ Support that meets you where you are

Even after things stabilize in DC, the anxiety and sleepless nights don't automatically disappear.

What lingers:
→ Hypervigilance waiting for the next disruption
→ Trust issues with systems you once relied on
→ Financial anxiety that doesn't match current reality
→ Relationship damage from months of strain
→ Physical health problems from chronic stress

The immediate crisis may be temporary. But without support, the mental health impact can last for years.

At The Chesapeake Center, we help DC residents:

✓ Process stress before it becomes chronic
✓ Heal damage to relationships and health
✓ Build confidence for future uncertainty
✓ Feel calm and prepared—not perpetually on edge

🎃 Just a kind reminder that if Halloween triggers anxiety, overwhelm, or any difficult feelings for you - that's completely valid and you're not alone. 🎃

Some real talk:

It's okay to skip the scary movies and haunted houses
It's okay to turn off your porch light and have a quiet night in
It's okay if crowds, loud noises, or jump scares aren't your thing
It's okay to celebrate however feels right for YOU (even if that means not celebrating at all)

Halloween can be tough when you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, sensory sensitivities, or just having a hard time. You don't have to push yourself to participate in ways that don't feel good.

Your comfort and mental health come first. Always. 💚

Whether you're going all out tonight or staying in with comfort snacks and your favorite cozy show - both are perfect choices.

Do what feels safe and right for you.

And remember: asking for support, setting boundaries, or taking care of yourself isn't "missing out" - it's being wise and kind to yourself.

Sending gentle vibes to anyone who needs them today. 🧡

The Chesapeake Center specializes in adult ADHD assessment:
