Welcome to Self-Care for Mental Health 🌊

I'm so glad you are here! 🫶

Hi friend,

Do you find yourself having thoughts like…

“There must be something wrong with me.”

“I’ll never be enough.”

“I feel so different. So other.”

When you have a thought like this, do you share it with a trusted someone or do you tend to hide what you are thinking and how it is making you feel?

What if I told you there is nothing wrong with you, that you are enough right now wherever you are, and feeling different or other is actually a sign that you are being authentic?

This is just an example of what a safe community can be for our mental health. A loving peer can offer a different perspective than how the thoughts sound in our head.

Moving out of isolation and into a safe community silences the stigma that keeps us disconnected.

Listen in. 

Your presence matters here. <3 With you,

Amy
