I WAS ABOUT TO SPEND OVER 100 DAYS IN TREATMENT BATTLING DEPRESSION

I was fighting the scariest of demons inside my head, but the thought of letting anyone know poisoned me with anxiety that eventually became debilitating. By the time I got help, the depression was severe and treatment-resistant, and it was going to be a long process before feeling any relief. Many times throughout my struggles, I was well aware I was not okay. I searched for answers through hours on the phone with friends and therapists, trying to understand situations I would never have been able to. I turned to music I could relate to, books that could help, and Instagram quotes that stirred some feeling in me, but ultimately, it was not enough.

Breakup Club emerged from a desire for something I believed was necessary during such desperate times. If I felt this way, and there was so much discussion about mental health, I couldn't be alone, yet I felt so isolated. I realized the world needed a place for bad days, tough times, and intense emotions. No one wants to feel insane for their strong emotions; they want to be heard and helped. Breakup Club is always listening; we hear you. We want to help before it gets to the point where your mental health has taken over your life.

I didn’t want my life to stop because of the uncontrollable emotions I was feeling. I wanted to feel every emotion in its entirety to heal completely and become not my old self but a better, NEW SELF.
