Link – This Is What ‘Self-Care’ REALLY Means, Because It’s Not All Salt Baths And Chocolate Cake
I love this, and so much more from this article: True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to not build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. Self care is just that, taking care of yourself. That’s not something that you somehow hope to find some…
Sharing – Ben Affleck has been on antidepressants since age 26
why does Ben Affleck continue to take antidepressants? Because “they help”.

Sharing – Making Mental and Physical Health Discussions Equally Important
I suspect for many parents, the reason they haven’t really had any conversation about mental health issues comes down to this: This can be one of the most difficult things to do and one of the primary reasons that schools and parents will wait until tomorrow what should be discussed today. Let’s face it, as…
