I do & I bet you do too and everyone else does and won't talk about it. What is my secret? Will you tell me yours? Enough with the questions.....I struggle with anxiety and depression that's it. I feel so much better telling you now. I feel that I have always had it even as a young girl growing up and as I went though puberty it just got worse. My role models for women were my mom and grandmother and they were very negative too. I married and had my children young and down came the depression through post partum. I was in a place of extreme lows and did not know how to get back to who I thought I was. Over years of counselling and different types of meds I was a train wreck. In my mind I felt that the little blue pill would solve my problems and worries and I would be o.k. The pill never worked and I was extremely sick. I had two nervous breakdowns and hospitalized for both and even at my worse wanting to end my life. I was sick and my breaking point was my daughters. I wanted to be here for them and be a positive role model for them.
My marriage ended and I left with no money no job but with a vision for a better life without him.
Eight years now and living my life on my terms I am happy. And yes I am a life coach. I have been at my lowest and my life is a work in progress. I am thankful I had this disorder. It has taught me to be responsible for myself and my thoughts and which result in my actions. Stress turns into anxiety and if not prevented and treated can create havoc on your life and family. Whether you or someone you know struggles reach out for help don't isolate yourself and feel embarrassed. Anxiety is very common and you know we ALL have it!! Even the ones that you think have it all together. It's just a matter of looking at it from what perspective. Seek the help you deserve and reach out.
