Coping with Job Loss
Opportunities are around you; choose the ones that pick you up and carry you forward.

There are a number of steps you can take to ensure you’re ready to return to work without putting your mental health at risk.
Coming out as a person who had been living with mental illness helped me not only find my voice but realize I always had one.
As I began to accept that recovering from depression did not mean outgrowing my support system, it became easier to fight.
Say no to fear. Embrace your imperfections, they make you who you are.
It’s important to be patient with yourself and remember even the smallest steps forward add up.

I think you’ll find that if you commit to taking time for yourself as a form of self-care, you will be more productive and much happier.
No matter how large or small this transitional period feels, know that you are not alone and that there are ways to help yourself through it.
Eating disorder behaviours can be triggered during Fall transitions, so it can be a good season to explore new strategies for your recovery.
Many opinions on suicide are misguided, making it difficult for those experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts to seek help.
Even when intentions are good, suicide prevention month can be difficult and, in some cases, even triggering.
If we make an effort to notice and appreciate the little things, they become easier to find.
Here’s My Experience with Self-Acceptance: You can change, remain the same, uncover lost parts of yourself, and honour them.
Learned helplessness is when a person begins to feel powerless after enduring repeated aversive stimuli they can’t control.
It’s important to put your recovery first during the summer and stick to your meal plan, even if the timing of your meals may change.
By taking advantage of summer’s perks (such as good weather), we can overcome its challenges and prioritize self-care.
I choose to let the body negativity blare in the background. “Thanks for sharing, goodbye.”
This summer, I encourage you to make smart decisions and not bombard yourself with too many changes and transitions at the same time.
The key to having a fantastic and fun summer without becoming overwhelmed or completely drained of energy is finding balance.
There are three things I want to tell you about depression: it will get better, you are not alone, and people surprisingly understand.
You are not alone in this battle – no matter how badly your eating disorder wants you to believe you are.
Everyone’s recovery may be unique, but we are all in it together. You are never alone. You will make it through. We all will.
At a time when we need to connect as a community and support one another the most, implying that we need to remain socially distant is not only inaccurate, it’s harmful.
Navigating the waters of mental health misdiagnosis isn’t easy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I know for a fact I will heal. In the meantime, I will not cease to remind myself of my worth.
If more people can open up about their own personal experiences, we can see the similarities we share as humans.
It’s obviously all much easier said than done. But it is possible to separate your self-worth from your body and ease your grip on the wheel of life.
Maybe avoiding burnout is less about the things you do and more about the things you don’t.
We will all experience stress throughout our lives, and the idea that we can permanently remove it from our lives is untrue and unhealthy.
While I cannot always control the hold my mental illness has over me, I can ensure that my own self-care always remains a priority.
