Self-Care for Bad Mental Health Days

We all have bad days.

It took me almost a year to finish Self-Care for Bad Mental Health Days. When I started it, I was going through a rough time. Working retail during a pandemic, struggling with work/life balance, and dealing with my wife having multiple surgeries.

I'd find myself in these moods where I was just annoyed, frustrated, and cranky. Or worse - depressed, stressed, and feeling like nothing would help me feel better. I wanted to make a workbook that would focus on feeling better while also acknowledging how difficult it is to find the energy to feel better.

This workbook is not meant to *fix* bad days but to find a way to improve them. Even if it's just a little bit.

This digital file has is 85 pages of magic.
