depression Free: Ask me How!

Meet Ameenah.

​

It’s been over 30 years since I overdosed on prescribed narcotic pain medications and over the

counter drugs. I was a nurse, and ironically working on a psychiatric unit of a

hospital.

​

I enjoyed my job and from 6:30am to 3:00pm, I gave my patients my best. Seldom did I think about my

Problems because it was easier for me to absorb theirs. But one summer day my emotional stuff

erupted like a volcano, spewing years of toxic waste that I could no longer contain.

​

After the overdose I woke up in an emergency room with a medical team surrounding me and

one doctor asked if I was trying to kill myself. Still in a fog and tears streaming down my face, I

said “no.” I just wanted to stop the emotional and physical pain of my life. That morning I was diagnosed with clinical depression.

​

I’m happy to say that I overcame my depression without medications, but with a lot of

internal work. I found the tools to help me build a mental health foundation that has continued to

propel me forward and never backward.

​

Peace & Blessings
