Because CHANGE is all YOU need!!!
Last year I spent the entire year, broke, depressed, under-appreciated, unhealthy, lonely, fatigued, did I say broke?... and to top it all off I was Pregnant and Pissed off!
Half way through this year, guess what? I have improved my financial situation SUBSTANTIALLY! Ha! and I am no longer depressed, under-appreciated, unhealthy , lonely, oh GOD and all that other crap. Why? Because I had the sudden audacity to change my mind! I couldn't stand it anymore. I got tired of "crying" at the drop of a dime and taking pills which were suppose to make me SMILE :o/ My nerves were shot, my husband was going gray and I couldn't enjoy my newborn son.
So one day while I was home in a pill induced, joyous state, I rolled over and decided to check my e-mail (of course checking my e-mail to see who HADN'T mailed me so I could go into the next no one wants to talk to me guilt trip phase, was just another way for me not to face reality) and of course NO ONE had sent me even a piece of spam! Either way, as I was closing my browser I see this little ad that says:
Depression Kills: How to add 10 years to YOUR life!"
Okay, so who wouldn't want to live longer? And at this point I was desperately seeking answers as to what was wrong with me. Why wasn't I happy anymore? I was looking for help but couldn't ASK for help (I know YOU know what I mean), but inside my own four walls, I could click on this one simple link, see what was being offered in way of giving me my life back, and no one was there to judge me or look at me as if to say, "Suck it up and get over it, you have a child to take care of!" I was silently seeking help! I found so much more!
And this is why I am here.
I have been where you are, silently seeking a way out of a crushing disposition. I started reading free articles, subscribing to newsletters, e-zines and online courses. I bought e-books, hardcopy, and joined message boards and member sites. I was on a rampage to recovery. I had people to talk to, I had e-mails in my inbox (so what if it was a newsletter, it was correspondence with someone who wasn't looking down on me), and I had focus.
The RIGHT opportunity and determination, Can change your life.
So many people have faced obstacles and battled their way out. Surprisingly these people realized that someone, somewhere may be lacking: Mentally, Spiritually, Physically, In Relationships, or Financially,just as they were, and decided to HELP make a change in that someone's life, whether through articles, books, software, courses, or interactive forums online, the resources where put out there. All at the click of a button away from every lurking eye who just doesn't understand!
*Depression is a very serious Mental Health illness, in no way will I ever make light of anyone's battle. My goal is to offer a hand without a voice. No judging eyes. My change started on the inside, looking and searching.
Stop being Negative, Disbelieving, and Skeptical, and open up to the information that is out there to help YOU!

Recognize depression first by knowing a few facts:
Myth: Depression is a personal or moral weakness.
Fact: Depression is an illness with no single cause. Heredity, chemical changes in the body, and significant life changes or stressors all can lead to a depressive episode.
Myth: Depression is only extreme sadness - "Snap out of it!"
Fact: Depression is more than sadness or having the "blues." Symptoms of depression are much more pervasive and chronic and can lead to significant impairment in one or more areas of life.
Myth: Depressed people are lazy or looking for attention.
Fact: Actually, people with depression may attempt to hide their distress from others. Encourage them to talk about their depression and seek the help they need.
