World Mental Health Day- Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.

10/01/2026

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the “winter blues”—it is a predictable, biological shift in our mental health. As sunlight decreases in the fall and winter, our brain chemistry shifts, deeply affecting our mood, energy, and sleep.

🧠 The Science Behind It
Sunlight Drop: Less daylight disrupts your circadian rhythm (internal clock).
Serotonin Plunge: Lower sunlight drops your brain’s feel-good chemicals.
Melatonin Shift: Shorter days alter your sleep hormones, causing extreme fatigue.

🔍 Signs to Notice
Persistent low mood or feelings of hopelessness
Sleeping longer but still feeling exhausted
Social withdrawal and loss of interest in hobbies
Increased cravings for carbohydrates and weight gain.

Hi, I’m Feruze Zeko —a psychotherapist licensed in New York.

People often ask what kind of therapist I am, and I’d say — I’m someone who takes the work seriously. My clients usually describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to — and yes, I like to bring a bit of humor into sessions when it helps lighten the moment.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, or just trying to make sense of where they are in life. I love helping people feel more at ease in their own skin — because that’s where real change starts.

As a multicultural therapist with a deeply personal journey, I bring a unique perspective to my practice which helps me connect with people from all walks of life. I truly believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive conversation.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy but feel unsure where to begin, I’d love to help make that first step a little easier. Lets connect!

“The Secret to Being Happy!

What if I told you that the secret to being happy isn’t actually about having a happy life?

We spend so much time thinking, “I’ll be happy when…”
When I have more money.
When I lose the weight.
When I find the right relationship.
When things finally slow down.

But there’s always another “when.”

The truth is, happiness isn’t a permanent state.
It’s learning to notice and appreciate the moments that are already good.

A morning you enjoyed.
A conversation that made you laugh.
A sense of peace.
A moment when you felt like yourself.

You don’t have to wait for your life to be perfect to experience happiness.

Sometimes, the secret is simply being present enough to notice it. đź’ť

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “Why do I keep doing the same thing?”

That’s where self-awareness begins.

Self-awareness isn’t about overthinking or judging yourself. It’s about noticing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors

Maybe you notice that you withdraw when you’re hurt. Or that you say “yes” when you really want to say “no.” Or that certain situations trigger a much stronger reaction than you expected.

These patterns didn’t appear overnight—and they don’t disappear overnight either.

The first step isn’t changing them. The first step is noticing them.

Because once you become aware of your patterns, you have a choice. Instead of reacting automatically, you can respond intentionally.

What’s one pattern you’ve started noticing about yourself lately?

The Power of Gratitude 🌿

In a world that constantly encourages us to focus on what’s next, gratitude invites us to pause and appreciate what is already here.

Practicing gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring life’s challenges. It means making space to acknowledge the good, even during difficult times.

Research shows that gratitude can:
✨ Improve mood and overall well-being
✨ Reduce stress and anxiety
✨ Strengthen relationships
✨ Increase resilience during tough times
✨ Promote better sleep and physical health

A simple gratitude practice can make a meaningful difference:
📝 Each day, write down three things you’re grateful for—big or small.

Over time, this practice can help shift your focus from what’s missing to what’s present, fostering a greater sense of contentment and perspective.

Gratitude doesn’t change the circumstances—it can change how we experience them.

What is one thing you’re grateful for today? 💙

Stress management isn’t about eliminating stress completely — it’s about learning how to regulate, reset, and support yourself through it. Small daily habits can make a big difference in your emotional well-being.

Stress doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling emotionally checked out.

When stress builds up, your nervous system needs small moments of regulation — not perfection.

Try this today:
• Take 3 slow deep breaths
• Step outside for 5 minutes
• Put your phone down for a bit
• Move your body, even briefly
• Remind yourself: you don’t have to solve everything at once

Negative self-talk doesn’t motivate you — it diminishes you.

The voice that says “I’m so stupid,” “I always mess things up,” “I’ll never get it right” isn’t truth. It’s usually fear, shame, or old conditioning trying to protect you from disappointment.

But here’s the problem:
You cannot build confidence with cruelty.

The way you speak to yourself shapes your nervous system, your choices, and your sense of worth. If you wouldn’t say it to someone you love, pause before saying it to yourself.

Try this instead:
👉 Notice the thought.
👉 Name it: “That’s my inner critic.”
👉 Replace it with something honest but kinder.

Self-compassion isn’t weakness. It’s how real change begins.
