Would it surprise you at how many people come in to the emergency department that are suicidal who have very high stress jobs stating their medication (often multiple medications) for depression is not working? Hmmm….Maybe it’s the medications that don’t need to be changed ….maybe a change in environment would make a big difference. 🤷🏼♀️Continue reading “Monday Motivation – Health or Wealth?”

Rules of a Breakup
Holidays are over. Valentine’s Day is over. Spring is near. Relationship breakups happen all throughout the year and sometimes they occur more often after holidays or around holidays because these are stressful times. Experienced a break up?

It’s the Little Things that Make All of the Difference
I was sitting at Sonic near my house which I occasionally do to get my SONIC ‘fix’ and just sit and think and process my day, upcoming day or life in general. In this case I had come from a job interview and now would be heading to work soon to work another 4-12 shiftContinue reading “It’s the Little Things that Make All of the Difference”

If it is unhealthy coping skills there are other ways to manage stress, anxiety and even pain. We are always searchingContinue reading “Addiction – To Use or Not to Use”
Monday Motivation – Friendship
It’s much easier and less effort to ‘delete’ a friend than it is to try and understand and empathize with them on any situation. Aside from loyalty issues, infidelity, physical harm or emotional harm a reason someone would not want to be friends with another person could be due to their own inability to beContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Friendship”
