What is Pressed?
Pressed is a writing forum shining light on mental health, self-care, and figuring out purpose in life. When we feel pressed – overwhelmed, pressured, fatigued, insecure, hurt, numb – it tends to be difficult to keep pushing on with our every day living, or pressing on. Pressed was created to remind people that they are not alone, their feelings are validated, and everyone has unique value.
Why Pressed?
When I was thinking of naming this blog, the word “pressed” stuck out in my mind. I had an awesome friend highlight how the word “press” is found within the word depression, and that stuck with me. Press. Pressed. Then I thought, if we feel pressed in too much, it gets really hard to press on; I’m assuming this is true no matter where you are in life, or how young or old you are. However, I want you to know that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel; at times we may feel hard pressed, but we’re not crushed and we don’t have to stay defeated.
