Am I Depressed?
Have you ever had a case of the blues, and wondered if it was something more serious? Have you ever thought to yourself: Will this sadness pass on its own, or do I need to reach out to someone?
If you have had these thoughts, you are one of thousands who struggle on a daily basis wanting to know if they are just down in the dumps, or struggling with actual depression.
If in doubt – reach out!! But if you want some clear information on the sometimes subtle differences, these Wellness Minutes are worth mustering up the energy to watch!
Feeling Depressed?
Our minds are often overwhelmed with what is happening in the world today and things out of our control. And sometimes, these overwhelming thoughts can lead to feelings of defeat or depression.
Sometimes there are situations, or we are the recipient of aggression or moodiness, and none of this has anything to do with us!
Why do we choose to personalize these situations, and sit in a place of resentment, frustration or fear? What if we reframed those feelings? We always have the choice to choose the better thought.
What is Holding Space?
Let’s face it. The last couple years have been tough! We’ve all tried to bring our A game, but it wasn’t easy. And some of us are still processing our feelings, and are holding onto grief. Both ours and the collective grief we have just experienced.
If you are one of those people, or if you know one of those people, what are you doing about it? We hope you are not sweeping those emotions under the table, because you need to feel it to heal it! We hope you watch this little video, and try this instead!
Life After Chemotherapy and Radiation in regards to Mental Health
I previously spoke about the physical aspects you should consider after chemo and radiation. Now, I want to acknowledge the mental health aspect of cancer as there are a whole bunch of emotions you suddenly experience throughout this journey. Not to mention the added impact of changes in memory connections, neurochemistry and hormones.
