If you feel like you still show up and perform – for work and family – but inside you
Depression was such a challenge for me most of my adult life.
Like, it was bad.
Yet, most people didn't know it. They thought I was just the same, happy-go-lucky person that I represented myself to be.
Inside, empty. So tired but my brain was still wired. I lost the joy in my life. I was trying to manage the gray.
When I drove 90 minutes from home in 2020 for my first IV ketamine treatment I had no idea that that would lead to my REMISSION from depression (I now don't take any meds, don't struggle with my mood).
What I've learned in countless hours of training since then is that we aren't depressed or anxious because we don't have enough serotonin.
It's because chronic stress has damaged nerve pathways in our brain. Fix these connections, actually get the brain healthy, and these symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD go away.
In the comments I've got a link to a YouTube video where I explain:
- Why your brain gets stuck in fight or flight
- Why it is not your fault
- How life (work AND home) can feel lighter in less than a month when the brain gets healthy.
Has there been a time that you've quietly suffered? What pulled you out of it?
