Men experience depression too and in Houston, so many are carrying heavy burdens in silence.

It's not always just sadness. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, exhaustion, trouble sleeping, or feeling scattered and unable to focus. These signs matter, and they deserve to be noticed.

If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone.

Talking openly about what you’re going through, leaning on someone you trust, or reaching out for professional support can make a world of difference. Strength isn’t about pushing through pain — it’s about knowing when to ask for help.

Houston, we’re here for you.

National Stress Awareness Day

Stress is your body’s alarm—racing heart, tight chest, swirling thoughts, shortness of breath and more- triggered by pressure that feels endless.

How Can You Beat it:
1) Box Breathing: Inhale: Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of 4, allowing your belly to expand fully.

Hold: Hold your breath for another count of 4.

Exhale: Breathe out slowly through your mouth for a count of 4, emptying your lungs completely.

Hold Again: Hold your breath for a final count of 4 before starting the cycle again.
Repeat this process for several minutes, focusing on your breath and the rhythm of the counts

2) Grounding: Name 5 things you see, 4 you touch, 3 you hear

For lasting calm, see our expert counselors at Innovative Alternatives. Therapy rewires stress into strength.

DM us or visit https://www.innovativealternatives.org/services = your peace starts now. 💙
