It’s best to develop your sense of self when you’re alone — even if you’re in a relationship, or have lots of family or friends around you, spend some time alone each day to practice knowing yourself.

Understanding your partner's trauma is not just a suggestion; it's a crucial aspect of any healthy relationship. Understand their story, their struggles, their healing journey. Know the impact it has had on them, both past and present. Understand the work they've put in to overcome it, and the challenges they still face. Recognize their triggers, and learn how to navigate around them with care and sensitivity.

In fact, when I think about it, I’m often resting so that, when I’m done, I can immediately go do something else. This doesn’t foster a healthy relationship with rest, and it puts undue pressure on me. My rest needs to be “good” rest, otherwise I won’t be able to do what I want to do. I’m not resting for the sake of it, which can take away the power and benefits of doing it in the first place. In this era of productivity and life-hacking, I’m concerned that rest often gets misappropriated. Why should I be looking to get the most out of resting my body? What’s the point of rushing through a process that restores my cognitive and physical health? What are we doing here?

There is a lot to watch from Meet the Press on this topic. The bottom line is whether we care enough to do more. There's a lot of talk about social media and parents, but when half of all people even trying to get help don't get any, we have to asl ourselves how much we care. Does American society care about mental illness or not? Right now, I would argue that it leans much more towards not caring.
