Everybody Sucks Sometimes: Coping with the Hard Stuff and Embracing Your Perfectly Messy Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637749685)

When you accept that you're inevitably going to suck sometimes, it gets easier to feel better most of the time.

Feeling tired, moody, stuck, irritable, or all of the above? That's normal. Struggling to get out of bed before noon or constantly (even if quietly) complaining about your coworkers? Normal! Frustrated by your nonstop negative mindset? Yeah, that's normal too. When you're bombarded with emotions, it's impossible to be your best self 100% of the time.

Everybody Sucks Sometimes is a modern mental health guide that shares fresh, realistic strategies for revamping negative mindsets in favor of clarity and contentment. Whether you're dealing with burnout, anxiety, or the messy emotions caused by anything from family drama to money stress, this down-to-earth guide is here to remind you that none of these have to be setbacks in your well-being.

For anyone feeling worn down by emotional micromanagement, Ellie Mental Health founder and therapist Erin Pash offers a scaffold for emotional regulation and intelligence--so you can feel your emotions without letting them control you. Learn to:

• Debunk popular mental health myths and oversimplifications
• Identify the emotional ruts making your day-to-day problems worse
• Recognize maladaptive habits and replace them with healthy coping mechanisms
• Let go of perfectionism and practice "care without caring" by focusing on what matters most and accepting "good enough" for all the rest
• Build healthy relationships through clear communication, and validate and empower others

With helpful exercises, practical solutions, and a good sense of humor, Everybody Sucks Sometimes is a pocket therapist designed to help you cope with bad days and life's drama without losing your peace of mind.
