About Bethour
Biography:
My name is Beth and I'm 27. I've been suffering from depression and anxiety since I was 11. At 15 it got worse and I became Agoraphobic. From the age of 16-17 I didn’t leave my parents house (literally). My parents enrolled me in a residential program in California and I went there for 6 months. I have mixed feelings about the experience. After coming home I was doing great for a bit, but I slowly slipped into once the deepest depressions I’ve ever been in. It lasted a few years. Finally at the age of 22, I started to come out the other side. I went on new medication and although I wasn’t depressed, my anxiety had only gotten worse. Then I turned 25 and I don’t know if it was because of the whole brain development thing (your brain isn’t fully developed until the age of 25) but something in my slowly started to change. My Psychologist had been wanting me to start working with an OT for a while, but I hadn’t been willing to let a new person in. So I took the plunge and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in terms of my mental health. My OT is amazing. She just gets it. Her approach is so practical, but in the right way. I don’t really know how else to describe it. I still see my Psychologist once a month to keep tabs of the big, deeper stuff. I finally feel like maybe, just maybe, I can get better. I still have a long road, but this whole hope malarky is pretty awesome!
