A head injury released a waterfall of depression and anxiety I always had but kept buried. It changed my life and I often have to remind myself why my life is worth more than my own mind makes it out to be. I am overwhelmed with regret and decisions of my past that consume me in ruminating thoughts that have kept me from following my dreams and enjoying my life. Undoable mistakes I’ve made are really hard for me to overcome even to this day. It’s contradictory because I really find myself wishing I did things differently and gave myself a break and accepted myself years ago, yet I can’t seem to do that now. Letting go is nearly impossible for me to do. I replay these thoughts like a home movie that makes you cry and break down every time. Thankfully I’ve found some steady ground and ease of the pain in the mental health community. I started a podcast (@HeadCasePodcast) to discuss these nearly unexplainable emotions in an honest and open way with people who can relate or have gone through just about anything that has brought dark times. Life is really hard but it’s easier knowing others are suffering but also growing, learning, and living, right along with you.
