The SPAZ Movement and Team has been created to stop the stigma of suicide and to get others talking about prevention! SPAZ = Suicide Prevention and Awareness Zone I (and my Co-Founder Valerie) have a huge passion for spreading the awareness and prevention of suicide as we have been touched and rocked in many ways by it emotional grasp. The SPAZ Movement is a team we have created to use our physical activity and events to raise awareness for suicide prevention and awareness. We will not sweep this dirty word under the rug any longer. There are 5 things we can do every day to help prevent suicide...

FEAR….. Fear can affect your decisions, your views, and/or reason you do or do not do certain things. Fear can stop you from doing things you love or taking risks you know are worth it, or even going after than person that makes your world a better place. Fear can cause you to hide in a corner because the world is too much too handle with too many scary opportunities, decisions, and situations. Fear can hinder your world and life in so many ways if you let it, but on the contrary, if you decide to grab that fear by the horns, you can take on the... Stomping out fear can change your life and the lives of those around you that the fear is also hindering.

Are you brave enough? Could you grab at least one of your fears and decide to take it head on? Here are some of the fears I am currently working through to take on that better and most rewarding life and holistic health! I have fought taking medication for my anxiety for almost 10 years. When I started having panic attacks around 15 years old, medication was definitely a topic of discussion, but I was 100% against it. As I started to also see the depression creep in and the anxiety intensify, there have been many talks with me about medication.

Those who love me have all but begged me to consider it and I have always said no. I was strong enough to fight this alone, I didn’t need medication. Medication equaled weakness in my mind, and weakness is not acceptable. Last Tuesday took me to a new low… the lowest of low. I have had thoughts about suicide, but nothing like this. Nothing as intense as, “I need to die because this is too painful to handle.” “I need to take this burden off of those around me because I am not even able to function,...

I am a burden, I and everyone else, would be better off if I was dead.” Nothing as intense as planning your death and being so close to a funeral you could hear the... Tuesday I knew I was officially out of control. I have tried everything in my control to handle what is going on in my brain, and with all of the proper things- working on my faith, eating healthy, daily exercise, journaling, reading, relaxing,... Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that we cannot control. It doesn’t matter how good life is and how well you are, or how hard you try. Depression is not a controllable disease, it does what it wants and you are the hostage.

That fear of being a prisoner in my own body has led me to a decision I didn’t think I would ever consider. I cannot be holistically well if my brain is not on board and is not healthy, and we are far from healthy right now. So… we conquer the fear of talking about medical options…. We talk about temporary medications to help get the Brain Demon under control. I don’t want to be on medication forever, and I know for some it is a lifesaver, and it may be for me, but I just don’t like taking non-supplemental/herbal medications and would rather... This time I can’t seem to climb out of the hole at all, and that my friends is staring fear right in the face!

Starting Over. Creating a New Life. Making A New,Improved Me. No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, I have not gone rogue, and no, I most certainly I have not forgotten about SPAZ it’s followers or our cause! Actually, I have spent more time than ever representing, supporting, and living our cause than I have ever before! In the few months hiatus I have taken a lot has happened….

I did not want to stop blogging and sharing what was going on in the life of anxiety and depression, but it was so overwhelming it was unwriteable. I could not mentally form the words I wanted to say to you all, and the thoughts were so dark and deep that you all would have panicked at the sight of the thoughts... So, at the sake of being raw and saying entirely too much (which I normally do) I have decided to share with you what has been going on in the last 6 months and... Hold on tight, it may be a roller coaster ride… Before the holidays, (my blog posts also reflect this) I started really tanking… My depression and anxiety were at an all time low and I was barely treading water. My marriage had been failing before it even began (but love can save anything right?), my grief from my grandfather’s death was weighing heavy on my heart, and with the Brain Demon in full...

Hard choices had to be made to save my own life. I know that sounds very exaggerated, but the sad thing is that it isn’t…. I was at the lowest point of my life, everything around me had changed. I had been lonely and unsupported for so long, struggling through life alone with heavy baggage was sucking the life out of my entire spirit. Every day I had what my mom calls my “sad eyes” because I was exhausted, emotionally drained, and just plain sad. I was having frequent bouts of depression that were causing me to barely get out of bed and the anxiety was a 10 out of 10….

Something had to give. I’ve never been a person who thought of themselves first, not how I was raised and not how I like to roll through life, but in this instance, I had to save my OWN... I had to be my number one priority or I wasn’t going to be one at all. I decided to take the ultimate jump for my health, sanity, and quality of life… I went out on my own and decided to build a new and better life for myself. The life I was living with no quality, constant stress, and endless bouts of anxiety and depression was killing me, literally, and dragging all of the fun and zest out of life. Taking the leap to leave was the biggest and scariest decision I have ever made.

I was ashamed, defeated, and embarrassed. Exactly what I did not want for my life, was unfolding before my eyes and I was a failure. That did NOT help the anxiety and depression but in the end, I knew the decision that had to be made in the best interest of my life and well-being, so I took the...
