Episode 003: Finding Strength Amidst Mental Illness with Colby Majors @my;life
Do you or anyone you know deal with depression, anxiety, or panic attacks? so does this guy. It's more common than you may think. Colby Majors has lost THREE family members to suicide and is great to open up about his life and experiences to help raise awareness. He shares how he has felt and wants everyone to know they are not alone. Although this is deep stuff, I chose to publish his story earlier than planned because of the things I've been hearing lately. I think it is important. Depression is real. Please share with anyone who may benefit. Winter blues are still stirring, but don't forget that Spring is just around the corner. :) Confidential help is waiting for free... 1-800-273-8255
