"People don't fake depression. They fake being okay. Be kind." - Robin Williams @Christal Luster I love you. I will always be here for you even if you need time off for yourself. Little worried right now, but I care. God bless you. 🙏🏾😘🫂

Hey y’all. I’m not working right now. I’m doing school online and I keep up with that no problem. My son is in school and is dropped off by his dad everyday at 6, so my availability (8-4/5 weekdays and every other weekend) has made it hard to find a job outside of teaching. For ~reasons~ that’s not an option anymore. Being home every day is messing with my depression. I have no motivation to do anything that I don’t absolutely HAVE to do! Laundry gets done, dinner gets cooked, litter boxes get emptied…but I sit and watch tv or sleep all day. Any suggestions on how to get some motivation?

Hi. I’m Christal. And I didn’t create this space because I have all the answers. I created it because I’ve lived the questions. A few years ago, I walked through divorce. Not just legally, but also the identity-shaking, self-trust-testing, “who even am I now?” kind. I had to learn how to let go with dignity. How to stop ignoring red flags. How to trust my intuition again. How to date without abandoning myself. How to believe I could still build healthy, secure love. And I realized something: There are so many high-functioning, emotionally aware adults rebuilding their lives after divorce… but we don’t always have spaces that match our maturity. This is not a chaos circle. This is not a venting room. This is not man-bashing or bitterness. This is a recalibration space. Inside The LOVED Well Society, we focus on: • Healing with dignity • Owning our standards • Dating wisely • Building secure, emotionally safe relationships We’re not desperate for love here. We’re intentional about it. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be fully healed. You just have to be willing to grow. If you’re rebuilding, re-entering the dating world, or refusing to repeat old patterns… You’re home. Now introduce yourself below: Where are you in your journey right now?

@Christal Luster Good mental health day today. Well, I'm good but also stuck, and I said to myself that I would never make the option to give up, and I still won't. Past few days were rough, and I feel the need to just say something real quick. I'm 24. I know you are no stranger when it comes to the grief process. This past Monday marked one year since I lost my Uncle David who my mom was close with to prostate cancer, and despite the grief, I do have mental health challenges because of my disability, spina bifida/hydrocephalus which causes fluid in the brain (the condition that singer Billy Joel was diagnosed with last year), and it is a challenge to live with causing anxiety and it affects my memory as well. Little fact about me, but all in all, I'm good. ❤️ I am not perfect nor will I ever claim to be, but I believe that God is perfect, and I'm grateful to God that I'm still here. I say all that to say I love you and you are an inspiration to me because I've been thinking about bringing more awareness about spina bifida (and I say that in the sense of becoming a speaker), and everything that I went through beyond that. I was shying away from that at first (as well as college) about 7 years ago, but I've slowly been circling back to just the whole speaker career thing. For those who are reading this, and have anxiety, depression, etc. you are not alone. I see you. You matter.
