In my life, there’s been moments where I’ve felt like I am on the top of the mountain….but there have also been moments where I’ve felt like I’m at rock bottom. I didn’t realize it at the time, or even if I did, it was just easier to stuff down my feelings of anxiety and depression. But taking the step to seek help and open up about my thoughts and feelings with a therapist allowed me to understand my mental health more clearly. It also helped me to be a better father, husband, son, friend, and ultimately a better version of myself. Today , for #WorldMentalHealthDay, I encourage all to educate themselves on anxiety and depression and learn how to recognize each so we can support ourselves and others in our lives. Here’s a great article from Talkspace: https://www.talkspace.com/mental-health/conditions/articles/anxiety-vs-depression/ #TalkspacePartner #ad
