Your mind matters.

On March 23, 2016 I had a major life changing experience that I thought I would never encounter.  There was a major ice storm that happened near the end of spring, I slipped on black ice and hit the back of my head on the edge of a concrete step as I was going to my car. I ended up with a concussion, which lead to severe anxiety, depression and ultimately, rock bottom. My mind and soul had gone somewhere dark and I began to close the world I loved so much and shut everyone out from it. This included my family, neighbor, friends and my 4 children.  I started seeing doctors, psychiatrists, neurologists, spiritual healers, energy healers, social workers and almost a physiotherapist.  I  was so desperate to seek help because all I wanted was my normal life back.

​

I started taking anti-depressants, at first it was 1 pill then as my symptoms got worse my dosage increased and I ended up taking 4 pills a day.  I started lying down on a couch for the entire day, shutting everyone and everything out.  What was light turned into complete darkness, I started losing all hope and motivation for anything. I stopped all activities around the house and going outdoors because I wasn't able to be around large crowds so I stayed inside my house everyday.  The only time I really went outside was to go see my doctor to get my prescription refill.
