I always do my best to be transparent with who I am and what’s going on in my life because I am told so often that it’s a breath of fresh air on social media.

I don’t reveal it all because some is just too personal but I think there’s enough that’s relatable.

In 2021 I finally surrendered to needing anxiety meds to help deal with the ptsd from my 9 month long illness and a bad break up.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized some of the side effects that came with the meds. Insomnia, excessive sweating and depression.

While trying to figure out dosages on a new med I ended up going without them for a few days and found that I was feeling much better.

I’ve been off of them ever since but with that comes some challenges I haven’t had to experience in awhile.

I’ve been finding ways to help myself while I await PTSD therapy and treatment.

I stumbled across breathandexposurestl and thought “holy shit this is insane” 😂

After doing some research on 🔥 & 🧊 I decided it was worth trying out. What did I have to lose? Other than being super cold or super hot lol

I was so impressed by how easily my body adapted to the intense elements and how quickly I felt calm and relaxed.

coach_josh_hildebrand and thereallindahong are the best instructors and have been extremely welcoming.

After doing this twice, I can confidently say it’s been a very positive experience for my mental health and I plan to continue to do this  as often as I can.

If you ever want to join me - hit me up!
