Dogs Are My Therapy

I thought I would expand on my insta reel and FB video share as my inbox has blown up with “how are you?” and “are you ok??”

The answer to both is YES I am!!

I decided to began sharing my mental health issues and things I am personally doing as often as I can to heal myself. Healing is the only reason for my health, wellness and mental health journey. I no longer am doing it for others or because it’s trendy or I want to be a certain way or look a certain way. I am who I am and I no longer hold the thought that I need to change to fit in or please others.

This doesn’t always please my loved ones and at my lowest point I was pretty much abandoned by most of them. It hurt me deeply and I am still figuring out how those relationships look for me moving forward.

I have had mental health issues since I was a teenager and it has been a major struggle for me. A few times I have thought the world would be better off if I died or who would really care. I have never had the courage to get to that point and where I am now I am so glad I didn’t.

The past few years have thrown me a lot of curve balls and even with the medication, therapy and self care it really hasn’t improved as much as I would have hoped.

You see I live a very stressful lonely life, I am a wife to a great man who works away…
