We all like to use Social Media to present our good times. Our smiles, the places we go, and our accomplishments. But behind those pictures are real stories of real people that aren’t so great. I have many happy pictures of me during tough times that tell a different story than what was actually going on.
In my most recent podcast called “2015-2016”, and no I couldn’t think of a better name, I talk about the wild ride that was 2015-2016 in my life. It actually dates back to about 2004 but it all comes crashing down in 2015 and 2016. This story deals with #opiodaddiction, #alcoholism, what happens when we don’t address our #mentalhealth issues, #toxicrelationships, #emotionaldetachment, #emotionaltrauma, #grief, #forgiveness, can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped, and death. Lots of death.
I share my story with you just in case you are going through similar struggles. I want you to know that you aren’t alone. If you’re going through some stuff right now, reach out to someone and talk to them. Get professional help. Talk therapy has helped me tremendously and I recommend it to anyone that’ll listen. Take care of yourself.
