For kids, emotions are catastrophic, it's overwhelming. They feel like they're going to last forever. When we soothe a child who is angry or afraid, we aren't just down regulating them, we are teaching them one of the keys to be able to thrive in life and that emotions will pass.

You fear the consequences of silence more than the discomfort of truth and that makes you dangerous to some and right on time for others.

Welcome.

Not just a modern diagnosis! ADHD has been observed for over 200 years, which is a lot. However, even with such a long history of observation, ADHD remains under-recognized and underdiagnosed even though it is the most treatable psychiatric disorder in Canada.

@keenoahmedjones @guyfelicella This is sadly true.

Don’t invest all of your time in spaces that require battle mode. Carve out spaces for softness, rest, laughter, love, and creativity.

You are a whole, living being not a machine. #breathe

Trauma has taught you to always be prepared to exit. May this be the season you give yourself the gift of being present.

Take a breath. Stay awhile…
Lay down the armor. Unpack the baggage. Rest.

If you're struggling to manage "reopening" anxiety, reach out to a professional. Counselling or medication could help you to adjust to this new normal. #mymTips

[mindyourmind @mindyourmind_ca]

Give yourself some compassion and be patient with yourself. The road ahead is going to be challenging, so think about how you would support a friend during this time and show yourself the same kind of love and kindness. You deserve it. #mymTips

[mindyourmind @mindyourmind_ca]

Do things your way. Want to still wear a mask in places they're no longer required? Go for it! Don't feel up to attending events or places with crowds? Don't go! Live your life for YOU, not for anybody else. #mymTips

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

May you encounter those who can see through the hardness of your shell and who know you are worthy of the time and effort required to reach you.

Happiness derived from mere physical comfort tends to be shallow and fleeting. It fails to pacify anxiety and fear. Whereas if we have a calm mind it is effective in overcoming even physical pain, therefore we should not neglect the inner values that are a source of a calm mind.
