Healthy is Wealth! Stress is a normal part of life caused by the challenges we face everyday. But when these challenges become overwhelming and lead to excessive crying, sadness, anxiousness, fatigue, or triggers us to abuse food, alcohol, drugs, or engage in risky activities, then it’s time to seek professional help. Negative thoughts/behaviors are our body's "alarm system" that informs us something's wrong and needs our attention. Left untreated, mental health problems can wreak havoc on our mind and body. Let's talk and see what's going on.

Like many of you, I find the roles I fill within my own family (wife, mother, daughter, in-law, and sister) to be challenging. The family I grew up in didn’t solve problems. We shouted about them, ignored them, ignored each other, and then repeated these patterns over and over again under different circumstances. I was actually relieved when my parents eventually divorced, because I was hopeful that our home life would be happier. Changing the living situations didn’t change our interaction patterns. Seemingly simple disagreements escalated quickly, we ended up saying hurtful things which we later regretted.
