naked truths: depression edition
mental health update
As I am sure you have noticed, I haven’t been very active online…
My content creation has slowed waaaayyy down, and I haven’t gone LIVE on Chaturbate in about THREE weeks! 🥺
Trust me, it’s not for lack of wanting to do it!
The last few years have been incredibly hard, and I suppose everything that life has thrown at me during that time has just piled up and piled up on me...
Monday night, I broke down and reached out to my doctor's office's online portal for a mental health assessment, after talking to a friend who showed concern for me. Sadly, I discovered my depression has reached "severe" without my noticing. 😔 **I knew I was feeling down but I didn't realize just how bad it's truly gotten.
So, I met with my doctor yesterday morning and together we created a treatment plan. I’ll be starting my new medication later today, followed up by going to therapy, and making more lifestyle changes to help support my mood and well-being. I’ve been taking medication to aid with weight-loss for a few months now, and have made a few small changes to my diet, but will be trying harder to make sure I’m getting all of my nutritional needs met, so I can feel more energetic, and feel better all around.
I'm hoping that all of this will help me get back to the old me... the happier, sexier, more fun-loving version of myself! 😊
I'm looking forward to getting back to making fun content and livestreaming more. I really enjoyed those things before this depression set in! Right now I'm struggling to do anything other than survive and it sucks. 😩
I want to thank everyone that has been so supportive during these difficult times… Those of you that have stuck around, giving me advice, virtual hugs, and especially offline tips. Your support means more to me than my words can ever express! 😘 Thank you so much.
