My Mental Health Journey

In today’s episode I am excited to share with you the details of my own mental health journey.

This is my most vulnerable episode yet.

I share how my chronic depression was diagnosed in 2nd grade.

Why I hit absolute rock bottom 3 years ago.

And the simple thought changes I’ve learned since then that took me from hopeless depression, to genuinely loving life.

The 5 main thought changes in this episode are:

OLD I’m not enough. NEW I am enough. I am 100% lovable without changing anything.

OLD Something is wrong with me. NEW We are all perfectly imperfect. I am not wrong as a person.

OLD I am a burden. NEW I am not a burden. Others want to be with me in my pain. They enjoy helping just like I do.

OLD I can numb the bad emotions and keep the good ones. NEW It is impossible to selectively numb emotion. When we allow and feel our emotions, we can be released from the fear of negative emotions. And enjoy the depth of joy in the positive emotions.

OLD This is forever. NEW This is not forever. Even though that feels impossible to believe right now. If you want change, you can have it. And you don’t have to give up your identity to be released from the grip of depression.

I hope that you get a ton of value from this episode in particular. You and I have lived far too long in emotional suffering. It’s optional, and I would love to help you out of it.
