The ONE thing I did for myself was to choose Cerebral!
I have needed professional help for more than eight years. Finally, after seeing the ads on Facebook, I decided to give it a shot. I'm a 44 y/o female, divorced after 20 years of marriage, and 3 nearly grown kids...and I couldn't handle things on my own anymore. I am beyond just needing an antidepressant or an anti-anxiety pill; I need someone to validate me and help me figure out what I need to do to make MYSELF better for MYSELF. Not because others are depending on me, or because the world is watching, but because if I don't care for myself, then who else will? I was able to figure out that I needed assistance and for the nominal fee of $99, and since I have no insurance, I was desperate for help. I was put into communication with Breyeh Calhoun and Sara Thompson, and immediately upon seeing Breyeh's face on my screen I felt like I had stumbled upon a previously unknown resource that would help me get back on my feet. You see, I spent more than a solid year in bed with depression and anxiety, barely able to do more than just the basic self care - showering, toileting - nothing else. And I felt like somehow I had failed the world around me, my children, myself. Yet, Breyeh and Sara worked together to help me realize that I am worth fixing, and that I am not so far lost that I cannot be found, and that I can use the experiences I have had thus far in life to give me a new advantage to creating a brand new self and self-identity. I am no longer lost, I am just a bloom. Where I once felt I was withered on the vine, I just needed a little pruning. I have had a breakdown now and then over the last eight years, but thanks to Cerebral, I have literally had a breakTHROUGH. If I had known years ago that I could get help like this, maybe I could have saved myself some heartache and self-despair and self pity! But knowing what I know now, if I can help just one person to overcome their obstacles, then what I have experienced is worth it. I will continue to be a member of Cerebral and sing the praises to anyone who is willing to listen. And, I offer my deepest gratitude for their staff, particularly Breyeh and Sara.
