Send me a text - make sure to include your full phone number so I can reply (software blocks it) 💕It's easy to sweep our mental health under the rug, convincing ourselves we're fine. But sometimes, that rug gets pulled out from beneath us, and we're forced to face the music. Join me as I share the raw and real moments of my own mental health journey. From the darkness of depression and anxiety to the complexities of postpartum emotions, I pull back the curtain on the silent battles many of us face. This conversation isn't just about the struggles, though; it's about the leaps of faith we take towards healing.We'll tackle the tough questions, like whether medication for mental health should carry the same weight as treatment for physical ailments. I'll take you through my moment of reckoning – that turning point where I had to choose my well-being over self-judgment and guilt. With honesty, I share the lessons learned about the importance of sleep, the quest for a balanced life, and finding the fortitude to put ourselves first. Whether you've been in the trenches of mental health challenges or you're navigating them now, this episode is a beacon of understanding and hope. 💕 Remember...You don't have to choose between loving hospice and protecting your own well-being. I truly believe it's possible to do both. 💕 Enjoying The Nurses' Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN?
