Happy Thanksgiving from the Marshall University Counseling Center!

Wishing our Herd family a safe, restful, and joyful holiday—whether you’re celebrating near or far, you matter to us. Even during the break, support is still available if you need someone to talk to, and you don’t have to navigate tough moments alone.

🎄✨ The holidays can be a tough time for many of us, bringing up feelings of sadness, stress, or loneliness. If you’re struggling this season, remember you’re not alone and there are ways to take care of your mental health:

- Acknowledge your feelings—It’s okay to not feel festive! Validate your emotions and take time for self-care.

- Try simple mindfulness or deep breathing exercises to help you stay present and reduce anxiety.

- Keep a gratitude journal—write down a few things you’re thankful for each day to shift your focus toward positivity.

- Connect with others, whether it’s reaching out to a friend or volunteering time to help your community.

- Move your body! A short walk or simple exercise can boost your mood and energy.

- Take breaks from social media and avoid comparing your holidays to others online.

- Make new traditions or focus on the ones that truly bring joy and comfort to you.

If holiday sadness feels overwhelming, seeking support or talking with a counselor can make a difference.
