The depression battle is a daily one. Everyone is different but from years of suffering and from learning my triggers I can tell you that my depression origins are from lack of self belief and brought on by the lack of achievements.

It’s so hard when your rock bottom but you can only go in one direction once your there and that’s up. I had this vision during a clinical hypnosis session a few years back. I was down a deep dark, cold and damp well. It had a long ladder. It was so real. Powerful visualisation! I couldn’t go any further. Hard concrete floor. A tight space with thick brick walls. Looking up I couldn’t see any light. But since I was already at the bottom all I had to do was take one step along the rungs of the ladder daily. Eventually after a few hypnotist sessions I was at the top of the well and I pulled the wire grate across so I could go down there anymore. I still look into the well weekly but I never go down there. It’s not locked and it’s my choice if I want to go down there again. But I never have. I’m so glad I had hit rock bottom. It gave me the opportunity to climb out and start living my life again. Since then I have achieved so much, constant full time work in hospitality (which I love with all my heart). Travelled to international destinations a few times a year. Climbed multiple volcanoes. 5km and 10km fun runs. 100km - 22hr Oxfam hiking event. (Twice in 2 years- that was stupid lol) Lots of hiking - Solo, overnight, multi day hikes. Met the man of my dreams. (Love you babe)
For me its Accomplishments!
That’s what keeps me centred with life. I know my triggers and I know what to do when I feel down and depressed.

Depression breeds depression!!!

Stay positive! Do what’s right for YOU!

One life! Your journey! Your story!
