47 Finding Light In The Darkness of Depression with Tracey Maxfield
Today on Awake and On Purpose, Jennifer speaks with Tracey Maxfield about depression and other mental illnesses, and why vulnerability is actually a great strength. Tracey shares how she escaped the “rabbit hole” and discusses how a class of teenagers unexpectedly revealed her life purpose to her.
I didn’t want anyone to go through that same horror and pain and just that torment of being stuck in this darkness and think that they were never going to get out and they were alone.
Tracey MaxfieldTracey Maxfield is a retired nurse with over 36 years’ experience in gerontology, mental health, and dementia care. She is a regular guest on well-known author and radio host Peter Rosenberger’s show Hope For the Caregiver on Sirius radio. Tracey has written multiple articles on dementia care, medical research and mental illness/bullying in teenagers. She is the Purple Angel Dementia Ambassador for the Okanagan. B.C. and NAASCA Ambassador for B.C., Canada
Tracey experienced her first episode of clinical depression in her twenties and lived with chronic depression ever since. However, nothing prepared her for the acute depressive episode she experienced in 2015. After enduring years of intense workplace stress, harassment and bullying, she plummeted into an abyss of darkness, hopelessness and despair the likes of which she had never experienced before.
Encouraged by a psychologist, Tracey started a Blog, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: my life with depression, to better help her friends understand her depression. Over time, Tracey began to heal and found that out of the darkness and despair, there is hope, there is life after depression.
