My journey began in 2004. An overwhelming wave of emotional flatness washed over me. I was numb.
The past 10 years have encompassed some of the darkest, most trying times in my life. To be perfectly honest at times I didn’t think I’d be here today. I’ve fought battles of depression, self medicating, and divorce all before the ripe old age of 30. Somehow, somewhere in this vast universe something was watching over me. A true testament of will, perseverance, and heart. I never gave up–always wanting to understand what I was going through more thoroughly.
My arsenal to combat these feeling-less feelings has been an evolution of several things. Medication, music, writing, and my newest venture; podcasting. Whether it be reading, research, mediation or doing creative things like writing The Science of Being…Our best days lie ahead of us.
Between the years of 2004-2014 I documented my journey and battle with clinical depression, anxiety, ADHD, self medicating, and bouts of insomnia. After several working titles “The Science of Being – Surviving; Depression” is here.

Control the Controllable, as for the rest, Keep on Flowing and Just Be...
