It’s OK to Not be OK

“People think I should be able to handle my illnesses without medicine. In reality without my medicine, my illnesses would handle me.”

There is no difference between your brain not being able to make the correct levels of neurotransmitters and wearing glasses to correct your vision. The brain is, in fact, the most complex organ in the body. Mental illnesses are disorders of the brain. Taking medication is not a weakness it can help you feel strong again.

Many people struggle with intense emotions struggle with feeling lonely, misunderstood, and believe there is something wrong with them. If you feel this way, please consider reaching out for additional support and guidance. You deserve to enjoy life no matter your diagnosis.

Most of our poor decisions and behaviors that we wish we could re-do are driven by our feelings. In most cases we are probably reacting from an emotion and not even really thinking!

ODD is one of the most common behavioral disorders among kids. Unfortunately, people exhibiting these behaviors are sometimes mislabeled as "naughty" or "bad," which can be damaging.

Regulate your emotions and then engage in co-regulation with your teen from a place of curiosity and compassion.
