TW: Suicide It’s time to retire the phrase, “I’m fine” when we don’t really mean it. If you or someone you know is struggling, consider using these phrases instead to express your emotions. Sometimes, one phrase makes all the difference. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay Disclaimer: BetterHelp is not a crisis line and should not be used in emergencies. If you are in immediate distress or experiencing a crisis, please contact a local emergency service or a dedicated crisis helpline such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or text "HOME" to 741741

The transition to becoming an empty-nester is challenging, but with the right support, those feelings can shift from loss and grief to excitement over discovering new opportunities for growth and fulfillment 🌱

Feeling lost is a natural part of finding yourself. Embrace it and use it as a chance to think about what you really want in life. Your journey is what you make it. 🌱

Losing a job, facing rejection, or missing out on an opportunity can be tough. There is real grief that can come with these moments, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. When these feelings come up, remember that your worth isn’t defined by a single setback. It’s all about how you pick yourself back up, learn from any mistakes made along the way, and move forward. Take the time to process and heal, and trust that new opportunities are ahead. #NationalGriefAwarenessDay
