I have struggled with my mental health for most of my life without even realising it. It got to the point where I couldn’t ignore my anxiety and depression anymore around 6 years ago.
I wasn’t able to go to any events because my anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t leave my house, I had very intense suicide ideation, and I was sleeping around 16 hours a day because depression left me too tired to function.
I took a year off, enrolled in therapy with a clinical psychologist for 3 years and then went on antidepressants for 2 years. All of this was helpful and did get me to a place where I felt stable and able to function but I had no hope that I would enjoy life or be able to live without antidepressants.
My partner recommended that I try NeuroFit with Rico and I am so glad that he did. When I first started NeuroFit I was sceptical and did not think that it would help me anymore than the previous years of therapy had.
Rico was very understanding and said that he would hold my hope for me until I was ready. I think it was around the 4-week mark into the 7-week program where I stopped being sceptical and was able to believe that I could be happy with who I am and my life.
The tools that I learned from NeuroFit have enabled me to feel more accomplished and comfortable while completing my PhD, navigate some difficult personal circumstances, and break some really harmful thought patterns.
I am still amazed at how different I feel and how much happier I could be after only 7 weeks. There have been some difficult periods where I slip back into negative thought patterns but I can now recognise these times and I have the tools to work through them.
I would (and have) recommend NeuroFit to everyone in my life that is struggling with mental mess. I am now not taking antidepressants and I am feeling so much more hopeful about my future and my present.
