My Favorite Person

My Story

In my early twenties, I suffered from depression. An entire year went by without me knowing I was sick.

Something was wrong with my mind, but I thought I could control it or ignore it until it disappeared.

I reached a very dark place and when all hope seemed lost, I healed.

Stepping out of depression felt like sunlight caressing my skin for the first time. I enjoy happiness, peace, and gratitude most days of my life.

I did extensive research to understand what happened to me and how to prevent it from happening again.

My experience, combined with the knowledge I acquired, are the tools I want to pass on.

Hopefully, by sharing my story, I can give you hope that a better life is possible.
