“But I’m not depressed.....” Many years ago I went to the doctor because I was struggling to stay awake at work. I was shocked when she said that I had depression.

“I’m sorry but the results of this test indicate that you have depression. Don’t feel bad. It’s not your fault, it is simply a chemical imbalance. You just need to take this tablet and you’ll feel better.”

I eventually gave in and took the medication.

It didn’t make me feel better.

I felt worse.

For the first time in my life, I actually did feel depressed.

Was this it for me?

Was this the only option?

I refused to believe that it was and so I went on a journey of self-discovery and learning about natural therapies, metaphysics and body awareness.

Now I understand when given the right input the body, mind and spirit can bring itself into balance.
