Chasing Happiness

Short and very specific.

A difficult question to ask yourself. A necessary question to understand WHY you’re living and for WHAT!

In this episode the main subject is feeling FEAR. My dear reader, think about why you say “NO” to yourself. Cause every time you allow fear to win, you’re saying no to YOURSELF! Where does that feeling come from? Have your ever asked yourself this question???

A little inside on why I started to turn my life around and what made me think about regret in the first place. I know it will help YOU understand yourself better

These 4 concepts are vital for my journey and I’m sure some of them, if not all, will answer some of your own questions. Thank you for joining me on my #RecoveryJourney

Today in episode 22 I’m expanding the affirmations subject. I think it’s important to talk about what makes us survive each day, especially because depression and anxiety is lived and sometimes suffered each day. Some pretty awesome realisations today so check it out

YOU do YOU! What good will come out of listening to others? None — not for you anyway

When dealing with depression, there are certain things to expect and others you just don’t! People are always unexpected or — better yet — people’s reactions are unexpected. I’m talking about what type of people I’ve encountered while revealing publicly that I have depression and anxiety. I know this will help you understand that their reactions don’t have any power over your decisions

I can’t believe I held myself back from doing videos and posting more on social media because of this!!!

Today I talk about how I got to the conclusion of building my own daily ritual and the why behind it. Please allow it to guide you for making your own personal ritual towards your #RecoveryJourney and adapt it to your own needs.

Although intimate and personal, I think this part of my life is relevant to the journey of recovery from depression. Have a listen, let me know what you think

It doesn’t only turn into a great healthcare professional but also into an observer of your own anxiety attacks and depressive episodes. And that’s when the magic happens ✨

The title says it all and the answer is within yourself. If you’re having trouble finding your answer, I’ve recorded this episode to give you some hints and ideas of what to search for. But REMEMBER❗️Only you have the best answer for yourself

What do you do when anxiety kicks in? What’s your strategy to ground yourself? I talk about what I do and the 4 steps I take to approach an anxiety attack. I know it will help YOU at some point in time

I’m developing some questions around therapy for depression and anxiety patients. Remember this is from a patient’s perspective, as I don’t have any formal training for psychological therapy or counselling. I know this will help someone who’s indecisive about how, when, where and what type of therapy that should be doing, and even if they should do it at all! Keep safe and listen closely

This is my list of things that help me everyday, that’s my go-to list for accepting myself just the way I am. Not only this helps me get through the day but encourages me to continue fighting for a better tomorrow

This episode was not planned like the others. I have no list or billet-points for this one. When listening, be patient and try to analyse it from the observer’s perspective: don’t analyse the content, try to look at the format, specifically the thinking format. Unfortunately this is how a depressed person’s mind works, and it’s exhausting! It doesn’t only take away your energy and time but it also takes away your happiness, positive emotions and, most importantly, it takes away your hope - the dreams you’re looking forward to accomplish. Please know that you can get better at controlling your depression and be happy because of it! I can do it (and I still have episodes and thoughts like these) so you can as well

Usually it’s difficult to find reason behind a conflict. The situation becomes even more difficult when it comes to our loved one. And on top, we have to deal with our own depression and anxiety, with our own efed up state of mind. And so, today I’m talking myself out of continuing the self-guilt. Find out how!

Overall, this is what my life is about at the moment, and comparing it to this time last year I’m definitely making the most out of my time today. It can be done, and your mental illness does not have to be the end of your happy life!

I love
