Pic #3 ^ - this photo was taken at a photography event in the last 2 months :))

 

There's a point to these pictures I promise, just bare with me, A lot of people stray away from the thought of therapy. Maybe because they think "I don't need it." Or "I can handle this myself". Maybe it's because they feel like having to have someone help them to sort through their brain makes them feel smaller, less in control. I could give you countless reasons as to why for years I shrugged off the idea of therapy actually being a helpful tool in my life, including the ones above. In the past few years things began to pile up so high with, work, friends, relationship I just felt so overwhelmed all the time. That, on top of my already frail mental health and traumas I didn't deal with, ended me in a spot where I weighed less than 100lbs. (92lbs at my lowest to be exact) I wasn't eating. I wasn't taking care of myself. I wasn't doing anything, I didnt enjoy anything. So after a year of struggling to do it alone and to try to dig into my brain to fix the pieces that were out of place I was EXHAUSTED and I went online and googled the most generic phrase "therapist in Las Vegas" after searching through different therapists I found one that I have been seeing weekly for a little over a month. In the last month I have felt a spark of fight come back into my chest that I thought would never be there again, I have the want and the determination to conquer my traumas and my illnesses and with a strong helping hand along the way I know I will
