If you don’t feel like doing something, that feeling is useful information. It’s part of your body’s warning system. - Devon Price, Ph.D.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting th...ings until you die. I think this goes for art too; you can just make the kind of art you find interesting and you don’t have to plan some great arc to your literary career. I think the traditional (Western, white) narrative arc has tricked way too many people into thinking their lives have to have one grand epiphany, some flash of great meaning and deep insight, when in reality most people experience these things in much smaller ways throughout life. I think this also leads a lot of people to miss the stuff that actually makes them happy, because it’s mostly the small stuff. They spend their entire lives looking for a lightning strike and miss out on everything else. twitter.com/ambernoelle #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm artwork by instagram.com/hellothisisangle

When you’re unsure of your emotional needs or how to meet them, start by trying to meet your physical / physiological needs. Physiological Needs: These are biological requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep. If these needs are not satisfied, the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow (American Psychologist) considered physiological needs the most important, as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are m...et. https://www.simplypsychology.org/simplypsychology.org-Maslo #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #psychology #Maslow #hierarchyofneeds #rochesterny #therapy

Our emotions point to our underlying needs and wants, and meeting those needs and wants helps us to create fulfillment. - Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. #howareyoufeeling #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #rochesterny

The results from our experiment strongly suggest that limiting social media usage does have a direct and positive impact on subjective well-being over time, especially with respect to decreasing loneliness and depression.

Helpful insight & visual by The Depression Project about how current events can impact mental health. To adaptively cope with stress and mental health symptoms at this time, the CDC recommends the following: -Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting. -Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regular...ly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid alcohol and drugs. -Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy. -Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling. -Call your healthcare provider if stress gets in the way of your daily activities for several days in a row.

Hello all, In response to concerns regarding COVID-19, I want to touch base with you about how I will be providing treatment at this time. Your physical and emotional health are important to me. To ensure you continue to have access to care, I will begin offering telehealth appointments to existing clients who are interested and appropriate for this service. I will have this feature available in the next 24-48 hours. Until further notice, I will also continue to provide in-...person psychotherapy to clients at my office, so long as neither of us are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone to set up a consultation, or if you need support in deciding if in-person and/or telehealth therapy may be a good fit for you at this time. #mentalhealth #counseling #therapy #telehealth #rochesterny

Getting outside, being active, and socializing may be the last things you want to do when living with seasonal depression / seasonal affective disorder. Similar to Major Depressive Disorder, this condition feeds itself by making it difficult for us to do the very things that combat it. I want to remind you that this isn’t because you’re lazy and these symptoms aren’t character flaws. My suggestions: Talk about it. Learn more about it. Set a timer for 5 minutes (NO MORE & NO LESS) to do one of these activities today to fight back #seasonalaffectivedisorder #seasonaldepression #mentalhealth #counseling #rochesterny
