Josh Morgan describes his journey through anxiety and depression. He shares how he hit his emotional rock-bottom but learned to love himself.
Have you ever felt anxious or depressed? Have you struggled with your self-worth or felt hopeless about the future? Do you wish you felt more in control of your life?
If so, you and I may have something in common. My mental illness became so severe in 2018 and 2019 that I hit my emotional rock-bottom—but I found the strength to heal. If I hadn’t learned how to manage my emotions properly in 2020 and 2021, I wouldn’t be here to share my story.
All that to say: I’m glad I’m still here with you.
I’ve since learned how to relax and appreciate who I am. I’m not a mental health professional, but in this month’s episode of The Best Kind, I share what allowed me to fall in love with myself for the first time. If you or someone you know is dealing with similar issues, I hope what I’ve been through can help in some small way. It’s on YouTube…
