“I have suffered with depression in the past and it has taken so much out of me, mentally and physically. I couldn’t eat for two years. Everything I tried to eat, I would throw up. It got to the point where I started throwing up blood, even when I wasn’t eating. That was when I knew I needed help. My mom handed me the house phone, as I sat at the dining room table crying, and told me I needed to contact my insurance to find a therapist and make an appointment as soon as possible. She got me on such a great path by just listening to my story and helping me without medication , that I was able to continue my journey on my own. I have been on this wonderful path for 5 years now, but I am human. I do have days where I feel myself slipping and I tell myself that’s okay because I pull myself right back out of it. I learned how to deal with it in a healthy way. I found outlets for certain things and one of which is the gym. There are situations where i struggle with because I don’t know how to deal with it but I still manage to find a way, and I ask God for his guidance. After hearing some of these podcasts (while I continue to listen to the rest), I know that we are all in this together. I follow Jasyra on IG and have followed her since before these podcasts. She has always been an inspiration to me since I started following her and even more so now, since I am hearing these stories. Thank you Jasyra for posting these and for putting yourself out there. For making yourself so vulnerable for others to see. This is real. This is raw. And this is what your followers and people who are struggling with mental health need to hear”
