Some of us might smoke a joint to help you relax. Some of us may have a drink or two to settle your nerves or ease any social anxiety. When feelings of hopelessness, fear, anger, sadness, or overwhelming stress start to interfere with how we function in daily life, it can be a sign that we may need help for an underlying condition.  Our next guest will help us unpack the signs patterns and behaviours to look out for we start to self-medicate and not actively seek treatment for our mental health vulnerabilities

Osaka responded to the incident by sharing how this experience affected her game and how this was not the first incident of heckling at the venue, citing the Williams’ sisters experience back in 2001.

According to the British Pyschological Society, the seven deadly sins were inspired by humankind’s perpetual struggle to rise above our natural instincts and manage the emotions associated with the sin. To postpone gratification today for tomorrow’s greater reward. To sacrifice our own needs for the good of others. Self-restraint is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets. But, it’s also a finite resource. For those who may not know what the seven deadly sins are, they are pride, envy, greed, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth.
