I started having debilitating headaches, called “muscle tension headaches” that made it hard for me to
make it out of the house.
I was easily triggered,
had severe depression and anxiety, feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame for my experience,
as well as many other symptoms.
It made it hard for me to fully engage or be present in my life in ways that were really fulfilling for me, hence the depression upon depression upon depression…
At this point, I was willing to try anything to make the pain go away, particularly the headaches.
