Pandemic + heartbreak + guilt about not being grateful = WTF. Anyone else? #Covid_19 is a lot, PLUS mourning & disappointment. I spoke w/ Andrea Kwan, Reg'd Social Worker, Psychotherapist, to learn about this heaviness (or as I also call it, the "potato chip" in my throat). ⬇️⬇️

Who says, "This isn't a real problem. I have so much to be grateful for. I shouldn't be feeling sad," when trying to tackle #Covid_19 #anxiety? 🙋‍♀️ We spoke with Andrea Kwan, Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, about feeling guilty about grief. More: aquarteryoung.com/2020/05/18/it-…

I wish I wrote more this year. I didn't meet that goal. I'm sad about it. H/E: I am NOT sad about deciding go to #counselling in 2019. I didn't tell very many people about this choice, for reasons explained in the last @AQuarterYoung post of the decade. 💟 #personalgrowth

👋Still here! Haven't shared in a while & feeling guilty about that. With all those emotions & more, @levianacoccia has been keeping a secret: In '19, she started going to #counselling: aquarteryoung.com/2019/12/21/thi… Thank you for reading our last post of the decade. 💕 #personalessays

This summer, I'm focusing on fit (doing what feels right). One aspect = sharing stories via @AQuarterYoung b/c they're important, not b/c a calendar says so. One remarkable story shared: @hspenc's relationship w/ #ADHD & mental illness. This is Part II: ow.ly/tMJe50v3jmc

Ok @levianacoccia is far too kind but I wrote a thing and then another thing and then hugged my dog and then shared it on @AQuarterYoung. Go forth!
Leviana Coccia@levianacoccia

I love reading @hspenc’s social updates b/c I feel like I can hear her talking. I especially adore working w/ her on anything creative b/c she’s the MOST honest, hilarious & humble. You read her work & you FEEL it, in b/w tears and laughter. This is what I’m talking about:

Part I of @hspenc’s Playing Pretend essay series is a dive into internal dialogue & expectation vs. external standards & pressures. Hilary talks about how she never thought she would be someone with #ADHD, until unplanned research led to an a-ha moment: ow.ly/5BQW50v3dcm

Playing Pretend is a two-part series where @hspenc shares her experiences with accepting an #ADHD diagnosis & its impact on her personal & professional pathways. In Part I, Hilary discloses the moment the world deemed her, "too much." MORE: ow.ly/5BQW50v3dcm #stories

[CW] Read our latest? It’s a personal essay re pressures to look & be a certain way, & learning to self-love in a culture that teaches how to self-hate (the former now taught w extensive lists that don’t work). This is not a guide. This is a story: aquarteryoung.com/2019/06/23/hat…

[CW] This took me two years to write. I‘ve tried to share it many times, but nothing went as planned. I’m choosing to share today b/c it feels right. I talk about my experiences w misconceptions of body image & unhealthy relationships w food. Please be mindful before reading.
