“In 2019 I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety.

For years I had suffered in silence for many reasons and never sought out the help I needed.

It took me to reach a breaking point I never experienced before to finally admit something

was wrong. Eating, sleeping, concentrating at work and just being able t

o see any positives

in my life became an immense struggle.

I learned to appreciate and accept my diagnosis and I’m constantly working to change my

naturally negative mindset. Believe me it’s not easy….

After, speaking to my therapist and searching online for ways to manage my mental health, I

participated with @runwithpurpose_org and ran, jogged, and walked my way to the 5K

finish line for the 1st time in my life.

Fast forward the present day, I am finally on the road to recovery and able to run a 5K every

weekend

🙂

Running with the boys that first day was one of the most important milestones in my

recovery, and something I wouldn’t have even attempted in 2019, when I was isolating

myself.

Let me make this clear! Mental health is not something you should be ashamed of. If you’re

not feeling well, you’re not feeling well..it’s as simple as that.

Please get the support you need if and if anyone reading this wants to chat, please don’t

You’re stronger than you think. You got this!”
