When I was contemplating suicide, I felt like I was in the room with a serial killer who was after me.

Honestly scared of myself for the first time in my life.

I felt so isolated, so utterly alone, and hopeless.

In that moment, I learned an incredible amount about myself. And while I would never like the idea of being that place again, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Because the desperation and the fear I felt drove me to take my health seriously for the first time ever.

I got tested for depression and ended up getting diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, and GAD as well.

From there I began investing in myself and taking care of my mind.

Eventually I was medicine free, starting my own business, and living a life unmarred by the isolation that drove me to contemplate suicide.

But in order for all of that to happen I had to make a very key shift away from death towards life.
