Their teen daughter is popular, smart and athletic. Why does she struggle with self-esteem?
Take this in: Being beautiful, popular, smart, and high-achieving does not inoculate anyone against depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or crushing doubt. Look to any number of gifted athletes for examples.
I recently watched a documentary featuring the top-ranked Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa, who has been open about her mental health struggles. During a particularly tough tournament, the documentary shows her meeting with her coach and talking about her current alarming mental state, when he says something extraordinary: “When you feel this way, you need to stop and walk away.”Basically, he was giving her permission and encouragement to put her mental health first.
Five days later, I sent a text saying thanks for letting Annie pet sit, and asking politely when she would get paid. Cat Owner said, “I’ll pay you on the 10th as I prefer to pay in cash and give feedback in person, is that okay? Or I could do Venmo, but only if you need that.” I agreed to payment on the 10th.On the 10th Cat Owner texted saying, “I am too exhausted and have no cash so can’t do payment today. Can we do another day? Or if you urgently need money, I can do Venmo but prefer not to.
