Tip of the Day... 'Tis the Season 

Family may be gathering today for Christmas, and that may be a true trial for some who suffer with depression (and many who don't!).

Remember a few things to stay stable:

You only owe yourself mental health, not anyone else.

You're trying really hard and that counts for a lot.

Family may love you but they also may not understand depression.

You cannot make someone understand depression.

You are OK just as you are.

The holiday is not about explaining your depression.

This, too, shall pass.

You've got this!
