Relatively Normal

I wanted to discuss how my relationship with my wife has changed and improved since I started to open up about my mental health.  In this episode, I will discuss how opening up lines of communication with the ones we love can help us deal with the uncertainty of anxiety and depression.

How we look on the outside definitely affects how we feel on the inside.  I have been struggling with body image issues most of my life and it didn't matter if I was big, small or somewhere in between.  I am still working on coping with this and in this episode I will let out some of my most intimate feelings about my mind and body.

We all can have a bad day.  But, what about those really bad days that we a stricken with depression and anxiety and don't know how to cope? In this episode, I will explain what constitutes  a bad day, how I have gotten through them and some steps that we all can take to help us prepare for future bad days. 

Triggers are those things that set our anxiety in motion.  At first, we might not notice or understand them but as we grow and learn more about our mental health, it helps to prepare for them.  When we understand what triggers us, we can have a better understand of how to cope.

Many of us are chosen to lead in our life.  Whether that be at work or as a volunteer, we still need to step back and understand what that means for someone who struggles with anxiety or depression.  This week, I will be focusing on my growth as a leader with anxiety and how it can possibly help you.

A lot of us struggle with depression and Anxiety.  A lot of us try to talk to friends and family about just to have our feelings brushed off and invalidated.  I wanted to talk to those people who want to help the ones closest to them when the conversation shifts to mental health.  We can all do better.
