My negative experience of antidepressants


When I was 16 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I also struggled with trauma after tragic loss of a sibling when I was 10 years old. I battled the life being a teenager who was bullied and didn't have a very good therapist to talk about my emotional pain I suffered from. Some how I found a way through my depression and the drugs of antidepressants did nothing just made me more suicidal than most people. So I stopped taking the drugs my mother had to fight for my rights to stop the drugs and found a way to over come my fears by learning self help tools from a book called heal your life by Louise Hay fantastic book! That's when my passion for life coaching started when I was 20 years old.
I don't wish depression on anyone it is hard to get past the fears & doubts until you find support, hope is what helps you out of that negative hole.
At the age of 30 I was sexually asulted by a man who I thought was my love but turned out to be a horrible nightmare. I was at that age suicidal and at that time I studied fitness for 2 years and was fit for 5 years until I damaged my knees injured couldn't walk for 10 months. I studied life coaching in 2015 got my certification and learned how important cognitive behavioral therapy is to a person's mind. I knew life coaching was for me the universe choose me to be a light worker.
Not everyone has a positive response to antidepressants only one woman in New Zealand has her name is Makaia Carr she wrote a book about love your body love your life keeping it real.
I struggled with trauma after tragic loss of my oldest brother took his life after our dad has a stroke when I was 28 has not been easy ride for me but I learned to overcome these experiences. Here I am today still working on myself and continue to do and you should as well. I hope you don't have a negative experience with antidepressants like I did but ever since I started CBT congitive behavioral therapy it has helped me fight the Battle of depression and suicidal thoughts, I now know that my epilepsy drugs have that side affects but exercise has helped me every morning to be more connected with myself more. I hope you never stop learning how to help yourself my friend.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...
