Together, we focus on what we can control, deal with what we can't and share awesome deals along the way.

One session of whole-body heat therapy. Depression symptoms improved. And the effects were still measurable six weeks later.

That’s wild to me.

The more I study inflammation, immune signaling, neuroinflammation, and mental health, the more convinced I become that inflammation plays a much bigger role than we give it credit for.

And my opinion? We are inundated with things every single day that can contribute to our overall inflammatory load, so I want to do whatever I possibly can to help lower that load and support my body.

Sauna is just one tool in my arsenal.

I rarely have access to an actual sauna, so at home I use a sauna blanket. When I first started, I could barely sweat. Now I can absolutely pour sweat, and sauna has become a huge part of my personal healing and detox routine.

Comment “sauna” and I’ll send you the sauna blanket I use.

This is my personal experience and opinion, not medical advice.

More than half.

In one large prospective study, s*xual dysfunction was reported by more than half of people taking the SSRIs studied.

And s*xual dysfunction doesn’t just mean a slightly lower s*x drive. It can include decreased libido, problems with arousal, decreased s*xual sensation, delayed or**sm or being unable to or**sm at all.

But here’s the part I cannot wrap my head around.

For some people, s*xual dysfunction can continue AFTER they stop taking an SSRI.

And when researchers tried to determine how common persistent s*xual dysfunction after stopping SSRIs actually is?

We don’t know.

There still isn’t enough evidence to give people a reliable prevalence.

So we know s*xual dysfunction while taking SSRIs is common. We know persistent s*xual dysfunction after stopping has been documented. But we still can’t reliably tell someone how likely that persistent outcome is.

That is information people deserve BEFORE they decide whether the potential benefits of an antidepressant outweigh the potential risks for them.

This isn’t about telling someone not to take medication. It’s about informed consent.

You deserve to know what we know AND what we still don’t know before making that decision.

I think one of the biggest things missing from conversations about mental health is the question: WHY?

If you woke up with a headache every morning, would you just take Tylenol every day for the rest of your life and never wonder what was causing the headache?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

You’d be like, “What the hell is wrong? Why am I waking up with a headache every single day?”

Why shouldn’t we have that same curiosity with mental health?

Could ADHD be contributing? Diet? Sleep? Hormones? Physical illness? Chronic stress? Trauma? Your environment? There can be so many pieces worth exploring.

And when I was 12, my parents desperately wanted me better. When a doctor tells you, “This is what your child needs,” you’re going to do whatever you can to help your child. We trusted my doctor.

This is my experience, but it’s definitely not unique to me. The majority of people I talk to who have taken antidepressants tell me they never had a real conversation with their provider about alternatives, potential withdrawal, or what might happen if they eventually wanted to stop. Sometimes it feels like these medications are passed out like candy.

I’m not anti-medication. I’m pro asking more questions. I’m pro looking at the WHOLE person. And I’m incredibly passionate about people having enough information to actually make an informed decision about their own mental health care.

I’ve had people, even family members, ask why I would share something this personal on social media. This is why.

After multiple failed IVF cycles and crazy amounts of fertility medication, my hormones were completely out of whack. Then I sought psychiatric help and was put on medication after medication. That’s when things got terrifying. I started having thoughts of ending my life. I had a plan. I remember looking in the mirror and KNOWING my family would be better off without me.

Do I think I was demonically possessed? Absolutely not. I was incredibly sick, and my brain was not functioning like my healthy brain.

That’s why the Lindsay Clancy case hits me so hard. Our stories are not the same, and what happened to her three children is absolutely horrific. But I understand what it’s like to seek help and somehow become even more mentally unwell.

And this is why I’m willing to be vulnerable. My best friend knew how sick I was. She sat in my kitchen and refused to leave my side until I called a therapist and got help.

If sharing this helps even one person realize they aren’t alone, it’s worth it. Find your person. Find the friend who will sit in your kitchen. Find a therapist. Keep telling someone until someone listens.

And when you make it through, be that person for somebody else.

I really wonder how different things would have been if I had understood this part of ADHD earlier.

Not because a diagnosis magically fixes anything. But because there’s a huge difference between spending years thinking, “Why am I like this?” and finally having language for something you’ve struggled with your entire life.

I’m learning that understanding my ADHD is only one piece of understanding myself. And the more I learn, the more I want to talk about the parts that so many of us were never taught about.

So if you’ve ever felt like you feel too deeply, react too strongly, overthink too much, or have spent your life hearing that you’re simply “too much”…

You’re exactly who I made this page for.

Follow along. We have a LOT to talk about.

And send this to the woman in your life who needs to find us too.
