Best of Our Blogs: February 9, 2016

the word love written on a lined piece of school paper in ink wiIn the six years I’ve had the privilege of writing for Psych Central, I learned a lot of things. But if there is one essential gift I can take from the experience, it’s this.

No matter who we are, what we struggle with whether ADHD, depression or anxiety, we all want the same things. We all require at the minimum, a level of wellness so we can live comfortably. We all desire love. We all want to feel heard, validated, and understood. And we want the ability to believe that we’re worth it all.

I think if we grapple with anything it’s that. At the heart of all matters is a desire for belonging.

As you go about your week, remember to cultivate connection wherever you go. We can do this by learning about the things that are afflicted our loved ones. We can do by taking the necessary steps to reconnect. Treating others the way we desperately need to be treated is one step toward gaining what all of us truly want and deserve.
