Journeytorecovery Stories

This book is about my experiences battling depression and anxiety in my every day life. It's my story of how I fell apart at the beginning of 2020 with no idea of what was happening, then I got diagnosed with severe depression and I had to start taking antidepressants and going for therapy. I share my experiences with therapy, how it helped me put things into perspective and connect the dots. I'm not in anyway an expert in Mental health nor do I try to give answers or advice on anything. This is just to inspire and create awareness on mental health and its issues.

My father was someone who wished to get his story out there, he wanted to share his life and struggles through reading (and later his struggles with Parkinson's) to the world in hopes of giving someone else out there like him courage to keep fighting and keep pushing. I write these letters to him, a father who left too soon, knowing he will never see them. In hopes of feeling connected yet accepting the loss of him. I invite you to read to follow me through my road to recovery in hopes to show people that it's ok to miss them, it's ok to cry, it's ok to be angry, you don't need to forget them. It's ok to miss them yet want them in your lives. This story is personal but it's here to be read to help whoever needs that extra push, to show them you are not alone in your battle. These letters are dedicated to my dad who was suffering with Parkinsons-Plus, and passed away from a heart attack on April 18th 2019.
