For some, Christmas feels cozy and magical. For others, it feels heavy, lonely, or complicated. Both experiences are valid. 🎄

If this season is hard on your heart or your mental health, you’re not “ungrateful” or “doing it wrong.” You’re human.

This Christmas, we hope you:
✨ Listen to what you need
✨ Set gentle boundaries where you can
✨ Make space for both joy and grief
✨ Remember you don’t have to carry everything alone

Our team is here to support you, through the holidays and beyond.

If you’re struggling, reaching out is a strength, not a weakness. 💙

There isn’t one magic activity that “fixes” depression.

What help looks like can be different for each person, and that’s okay. Still, there are a few practices many people find supportive on harder days:

1. Set small, realistic goals
Having something to move toward—no matter how simple—can create a sense of purpose and momentum.

2. Challenge your inner critic
When that negative voice shows up, pause and gently replace it with something more compassionate and true.

3. Explore a hobby or interest
Engaging in something you enjoy (or are curious about) can offer a healthy distraction and a small spark of joy.

Everyone’s journey with depression is unique. 💙
