The holidays can bring joy AND pressure, memories, grief, and stress. If you’re finding yourself needing help this season, here are some gentle ways to ask for support:

✨ Lead with clarity
Try: “I’m feeling overwhelmed today. Could you help me think through the plan?”

✨ Name the support you’re requesting
Instead of: “I don’t know… everything feels like too much.”
Try: “It would help if we could take a short break from talking about food.”

✨ Use boundaries as protection, not punishment
Try: “I love you, and I need to change the subject right now.”

✨ Choose your safe people first
If asking feels scary, practice with someone who already gets you.

✨ Re-ask if needed
Sometimes others need a reminder and that doesn’t mean your needs are too much.

You deserve support. You deserve to feel safe. You deserve to enjoy your holidays in ways that feel right for YOU. 💛

If you or someone you love needs additional support navigating this season, our team is here.
📩 Reach out through our website. You don’t have to go through this alone.

You don’t have to wait for burnout, permission, or the “perfect timing” to take care of yourself.
At Bucks Support Services, we see how often our clients push past their limits - especially during busy seasons, complicated family dynamics, or recovery work.

Today, consider giving yourself one of these small kindnesses. They’re valid, they’re healthy, and they’re yours to choose.

If you need support navigating boundaries, overwhelm, or recovery, our team is here. 💛

Thanksgiving can be complicated. A day that’s framed around food, family, and “togetherness” can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating an eating disorder, recovery, or body image stress. If this week feels heavy, here are some grounding reminders from our clinicians at Bucks Support Services:

🍁 You’re allowed to set boundaries.
It’s okay to step away from triggering conversations, decline comments about food or bodies, or take a quiet moment for yourself.

🍁 Build a plan with your support people.
Reach out to a therapist, trusted friend, or partner beforehand and decide on check-ins, coping strategies, or code words if you need a break.

🍁 Shift the focus.
Holidays can be about connection, creativity, memory-making, or simply getting through the day, not just food. You get to define what the day means for you.

🍁 Prepare a few grounding tools.
Deep breaths, fidget tools, stepping outside for air, journaling, or art-making can help regulate intense feelings in the moment.

🍁 You don’t owe anyone explanations.
Your recovery is personal. You never have to justify your choices, your plate, or your boundaries.

🍁 You deserve support ✨ today and every day ✨
If this time of year feels extra hard, you are not alone. Our team is here to help you navigate it with care, compassion, and a plan that honors your needs.

✨ Sending warmth, safety, and gentleness to everyone showing up for themselves this week.

The holidays can bring up a lot of memories, expectations, family dynamics, colder weather, and shorter days. If you’ve been feeling the heaviness of this season, you’re not alone.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and the holidays don’t magically make things easier. In fact, this time of year can intensify what you’ve already been navigating. You might feel pulled between wanting to be present and wanting to hide. Between moments of comfort and moments that feel unbearably heavy. Between light and the very real winter darkness 🌑

Here’s what we want you to remember:

❄️Your progress isn’t erased because you’re struggling right now.
❄️ It’s okay if joy and sadness are showing up at the same time.
❄️ Rest, boundaries, and gentle routines count as care.
❄️ You don’t need to be “festive” to be worthy of support.

If the holidays feel overwhelming, you’re not failing… you’re human.
And you deserve the kind of compassion that makes space for both the light and the dark 🌝🌚

Breathe. Slow down. Seek support.
We’re with you 💙

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the resilience, wisdom, and healing traditions of Indigenous communities. 💙
⠀
Long before modern therapy existed, Indigenous peoples practiced forms of collective healing through storytelling, art, connection to land, ceremony, and community care. These practices remind us that mental health isn’t just an individual journey… it’s deeply rooted in connection and belonging.
⠀
As we reflect today, may we learn from Indigenous teachings about balance, respect, and holistic well-being. 🌎
⠀
Here are a few ways to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day mindfully:
✨ Support Indigenous mental health organizations and artists
✨ Listen to Indigenous voices year-round—not just today
✨ Reflect on how healing can happen in community, not isolation

Healing is collective. Let’s keep learning, unlearning, and honoring the ways Indigenous wisdom continues to shape how we care for ourselves and one another!

Today is a reminder that mental health is health.

This year’s theme focuses on “Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” In times of crisis, emotional care can be the first thing we lose access to, but it’s the thing we need most.

At Bucks Support Services, we believe mental health support should never be optional. Whether you’re navigating personal loss, a community tragedy, or everyday stress, you deserve care, connection, and understanding. 🩵

Let’s make space for honest conversations today. Check in with yourself. Check in with someone else. And remember… you’re not alone.

Domestic violence can take many forms — physical, emotional, financial, or psychological — and it can happen to anyone. Abuse is about power and control, not love.

This post shares how domestic violence can show up, the cycle that keeps it going, and why leaving is rarely simple. On average, it takes 7–12 attempts before a survivor leaves for good — not because they’re weak, but because safety, fear, finances, and love are complex.

It’s important to remember:
🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ individuals experience domestic violence at similar or higher rates than heterosexual people and often face unique barriers when seeking help, such as fear of being outed or discrimination.
Everyone deserves safety, respect, and support.

If you or someone you know is in an unsafe relationship, help is available — you are not alone. 💜
