We should not be afraid to let our cold-workers, managers and peers know what we are going through! Life is hard and we need our tribe to stand behind us and catch us when we are falling! We also need to let people know when we are falling or failing l. You should NEVER be afraid to ask for help

It is time that we start normalizing how we talk about depression.

Take the time to check in on your family, friends, coworkers, employees. The holidays are hard on many people and you never know the personal demons people are dealing with, so be kind!

Like most people I locked these feelings deep inside me until it got so overwhelming.

I look and act perfectly fine on the outside but on the inside it is a sh*t show of some super deep sadness and depression.

I have been in a super sad place for the last couple of weeks. I made a promise to my wife, my family and my friends a couple of days ago that of if I could not shake the state this super depressed state I would get some professional help. I have not been able to shake this like I have been able to do in the past. So now it is time for a professional. I am just tired of being so sad. I am calling my EAP program at work tomorrow!

I can’t put a finger on what exactly triggered all of this but I am sure it is a culmination of many things.

I do know that 2023 holds so many awesome things for me changes, challenges, adventures, love, acceptance, accomplishments and happiness. I just need some professional help to get me over this hump.

I hope this post helps others know that it is OK to not be OK. There are 1000’s of professionals out there that are willing to help you dig yourself out of the hole.

The world has so much to offer and I have seen with my own eyes the happiness that life brings especially when I surround myself with those that love me.

Remember to be kind to yourself and wrap your self in self love! i know these feelings will not last forever because I chose to get help and get to the other side a better version of myself!

Thank you to my Wife, family and friends that have reached out because of my cryptic posts. I had to hit bottom before I decided that I needed to get professional help. Thank you for loving me and caring enough to reach out you mean the world to me!
