Here at SelfWork, we focus on what you can do about it - right? I preach and I encourage all of you to figure out the one thing that\u2019s in your control and make a change that will help you with your sense of wellness. Like all of you, I laugh at memes and try to take myself with a grain of salt. Usually, I think I\u2019m pretty good at this\u2026 but not the last few weeks.

I\u2019ve been in the dumps.

So today we're going to spend some time talking about being in the dumps and the slumps - as well as getting over the humps (the murky middle of a journey where you can lose sight of hope. And as always, "what you can do about it."

Our Speakpipe voicemail of the week is from a woman who checks in with my website and left a message there \u2013 which all of you can do at drmargaretrutherford.com! Love her question about whether to \u201clet someone with apparent BPD\u201d know that you\u2019ve learned what they did in a fit of rage. It feels like you\u2019re keeping a secret.. and a powerful one\u2026 But what makes it so powerful? That\u2019s where my answer will lie \u2013 how does this voicemailer want to use that power?
