Last May, as we approached the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, I decided to share my own story around mental health and, specifically, around my diagnoses of PTSD and General Anxiety Disorder.
I heard from so many of you who could relate to my story. A large number of those of you who reached out to say “me too” also shared that you struggled with the same diagnoses.
Given this feedback, I thought it might be helpful to share what treatment/management modalities have helped me the most since being diagnosed.
Overall, my diagnoses have given me so much clarity. They have solidified who I am in so many ways. I really understand why my brain works the way it does and how I can use this in my favor. This has been such a huge relief.
As I share some of my tools in this episode, I cover everything from medication to exercise to calendar management to my precious morning coffee routine. Whether or not you share my diagnoses, I think you’ll find some of these tools essential to managing your mental health as we continue to navigate the state of the world.
If you have any feedback or need any support, please reach out. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
