I’m sure searching for mental health support can be challenging. Seeking someone to talk to that holds no judgement; listens, see's you, and understands. Responds non defensively? Sometimes you even fear talking to the ones close to you, because you feel you are a burden. "They have enough going in their lives" or "They won't understand, and if they do they will through it in my face later". How can you trust when you aren't even sure what you are feeling; all the confusing information in the world today, showboated all accross social media. You just need a space to think, a space that is quiet, help you make sense of it all. Heal.

Overthinking is a common problem many face, and it can be caused by various reasons such as stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or perfectionism. When we overthink, we tend to focus on the negative aspects of situations and often exaggerate them in our minds. This can lead to feelings of worry, fear, and even panic. Overthinking can take up so much mental energy that it makes it difficult for us to focus on other tasks at hand or fully engage with people around us. It is important to allow ourselves the freedom to enjoy the present moment and find joy in life's simple pleasures.

I have always loved amusement park rides! Like life, they can be exciting and fun, sometimes like a roller coaster ride it can be scary – or it can be like a Ferris wheel or merry go round, going around in circles with nothing much changing as we go around and around experiencing the same things over and over. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 20 years of experience, I can assure you that life, like an amusement park, can be fun and exciting, or boring and repetitive – and most importantly, the choice is yours.
