About
I’m so glad you are here! If you are suffering from depression, you have stopped at the right place. I don’t profess to have all of the answers, but I believe the tools I used to heal my depression will also help you. I want to share my journey with you, giving you the tools and resources you need to get your healing journey started. I can relate to self-hatred, worthlessness, helplessness, and hopelessness. They were a part of my life for many years. I thought I would never feel joy. I thought depression would be a part of my life forever.
I did not make this website so that I could make money from people who are suffering from depression. It was a long process for me to feel content about asking people to pay money for my kit. I will tell you honestly why I decided that offering a kit was the right thing to do. When I was at my lowest of lows, the things that helped me most were things that I could physically hold, see, touch, or do. My body had to be a participant in the healing process. By this I mean, I needed to have a book near me that I could pick up when I needed it, not a computer where I could read the screen. I needed a bracelet to use as a reminder to myself to say loving messages in my head to break the cycle of beating myself up. I needed a candle to help me learn to nurture myself, and to create a calm space to meditate. I needed a journal to write down my feelings. I needed reminders all around my house that helped me to create peaceful thoughts rather than mean thoughts towards myself. It is difficult for me to express to you how much I want to help others who are suffering from deep depression. I thought I had tried everything to alleviate my depression. Nothing worked long term, and the bottom line was that I still hated who I was.
Depression is not healed until you can honestly say you love yourself.
I understand how debilitating depression can be. I have experienced it for many years. Depression caused me to search within myself to find a way to heal. It was a long process to find a combination of tools and processes that helped me break open the hurt that was buried deep within me. I have found many things that have helped me heal my depression, and I want to share these with you so that you can heal too! I want to share them with you because I know how frustrating it is to want to feel better. The things that have helped me are not the “traditional” recommendations such as changing your diet, exercise more, go to therapy, take an antidepressant, etc. Although, these things can and do help some people.
Depression is your body’s way of alerting you that something in your life needs to be healed and/or changed. This is a good thing. Depression is your inner voice trying to get your attention. If you are feeling suicidal, however, please seek immediate help. When you are feeling stronger, please come back here to find ways to heal yourself. I am here to tell you it is very possible to heal from depression, even if you have been told you will have to fight depression for the rest of your life, or that it is “genetic”.
I would like to share my experience. I was going through the motions of just being alive, or just surviving. I was just doing the things I had to do in order to get through each day. It was difficult for me to feel joy. I am still healing, but I am so much better, and I am awake to my life now! Joy is part of my day each day now.
I want to share with you the things that have helped me get to where I am today. I do not believe there is one magical thing that helps, or one magical pill. Healing begins when you find things that help you discover who you really are. It takes making some changes, and adding things to your life that nurture you. There will be some internal emotional work that goes along with healing. It is not always easy, but you will feel so much better if you allow yourself to feel your emotions. Believe it or not, you have all of the answers you need right inside you. It is just a matter of rediscovering these gifts.
