Another awesome podcast Nicole!! As I’m listening I’m thinking about the people I love and how much they need help. I’ve talked to them on occasion about things they can do to improve their lives but when all is said and done all I can do is be an example of how your life can change when you do the hard work! Blessing dear one. 💜

I started with depression and anxiety when I was young but my parents didn't believe in therapy. They just told me to get over it or ignored it. Once I was an adult and on my own I finally sought help but unfortunately all they did was put me on various medications and we did a little talk therapy but the sessions were unproductive. I was self harming, impulsive and I wasn't able to hold a job for more than a couple of months. They finally declared me disabled because of it. Yet I still wasn't getting better. I eventually had a complete breakdown and ended up in the hospital in 2012. It was the best thing that happened to me. They took me off a lot of my medication and changed the restto appropriate doses and put me in group therapy along with referring me to a private therapist and a psychiatrist for my medication. I would never have gotten those doctors if it wasn't for the hospital's connections and my insurance. It's nearly impossible to find the right doctor on your own. Thankfully, I'm finally managing my daily life in a normal manner thanks to my doctors. What I'm saying is no matter what you do, keep trying and advocate for yourself. Get help everywhere you can. If you're choice isn't working, don't settle do something else. I use the tools provided in these podcasts along with my therapy and they help a lot! Thank you so much for everything!
