“Manageable” is underrated. Let’s get through the day. Somedays have pretty leaves, and nachos, and cats.

That’s me! Come out and listen to me talk. There will be time for questions.

You'll have two opportunities to learn more about hoarding disorder and other issues of clutter this month. Margo Nelson is a psychotherapist who focuses on working with people who have hoarding disorder, as well as those who are impacted by the hoarding behaviors of a loved one. Her work also focuses on depression, anxiety, and grief.

Nelson will be leading talks at:

📍Lakeview Library (Thurs, Oct 16, 6:30-7:30pm)
📌Alicia Ashman Library (Wed, Oct 22, 4-5pm)

She'll presents an overview of hoarding disorder, including symptoms, decluttering strategies, strengths of people with hoarding disorder, and potential reasons behind collections of stuff. A Q&A session will follow each presentation if time allows. No registration is required.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. I called 988 to find out what that process is like. I was on hold for about 7 minutes. I did not find the messages and music annoying. The person who answered had a very calming voice. She took the time to fully answer all my questions about the service. She let me know that a person could also text 988 and a real person, not a bot, would text them back. 988 services are available 24/7.
I was excited when they switched to 988 instead of a cumbersome 10 digit number and recommended them. Based about my experience today I continue to endorse their services.

At the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life’s challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you’re facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns…

This. “I’m glad you’re here” will encourage somebody showing up more than “well look who decided to join us.” Be gentle with your words. What you say matters.

Great reminder 💙
