CALM
We all get a cold (mental or physical) sometimes. It could be more serious (depression or flu) but it's still a bummer. Most of us try to force ourselves to push through it. Some of the symptoms of a mental health cold include:
- Wanting to stay in bed more than usual
- Feeling overwhelmed with small tasks
- Imagining never feeling better
Next time you feel down, take care of yourself like you would nurse a cold:
- Listen to your body's needs
- Let your heavy feelings flow through (and eventually) out of you
The Calm app is the #1 app for sleep, meditation, and relaxation. Notre Dame offers students a free, premium subscription. To take advantage of this offer, sign up here.

IBS AWARENESS MONTH
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder affecting the large intestine (colon) and is commonly characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. This condition affects 5 to 10 percent of individuals worldwide. It's a functional gastrointestinal disorder, meaning there is no structural abnormality that can be identified through standard medical tests. It is important for individuals experiencing symptoms suggestive of IBS to seek medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and management. While IBS is a chronic condition, many people can effectively manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives with appropriate treatment and support. For more information on IBS, click here.
