When is the last time you felt stressed out? When is the last time you were angry or upset? When is the last time you had a falling out with a friend or your significant other? Odds are, you’ve felt stressed, angry, upset, or argued with a loved one in the last week or so. These are common experiences that can affect our mental health and emotional wellbeing—especially if we don’t know how to manage difficult emotions or resolve conflicts with our loved ones. The reality is that sometimes we need some help in understanding and managing stress, anger, sadness, and other tough feelings. On the same note, sometimes we need some help in talking and working through conflicts that we run into with friends and family. There is no shame in needing, asking for, or receiving help. In fact, that’s what mental health professionals are here for. Sometimes self-care is exercising and eating right. Sometimes it’s spending time with loved ones or taking a nap. And sometimes it’s watching an entire season of TV in one weekend while you lounge around in your pajamas. Whatever soothes your soul.” -Nanea Hoffman If you’re in New Jersey and you need some mental health help or support in your life, consider contacting Thriveworks Counseling.
