Addiction is a gradual process. It doesn't start in a day. My advice to everyone is to avoid too much of thinking that leads to unnecessary depression.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but for everyone in rehab rn I’m sooooooo proud of you 😁

Depression is one of the major reasons why people are addicted to substance abuse. It should be properly managed before it will lead to addiction.

Ugh this makes me sad. Reminds me of my days of having chronic pain which led to double hip replacements, depression, and strong drug addiction! Happy to see her better!

Depression is so real. Thanks for sharing this message. Am glad she was able to recover

going to college

Depression is real! People must pay more attention to these feelings. Thank you for this wonderful story.

I feel like she’s genuinely kind inside she just got abused by the world

I'm happy for her. I need help kicking alcohol

Tears are streaming down my face. What an amazing person you are and how far you have come. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep up the good work-you are so worth all the good things life has to offer. God loves you and so do I.

It's normal for depression to lead to drug and alcohol abuse.. depressed people need to talk to someone..getting into drugs is not the answer..it destroys..I'm happy you are sober and here to share your story..keep getting better and thanks for this video

Thank you for sharing this story. Depression has really been common nowadays. A lot of people can relate to her. Glad that she's better now.

We all need love and support and community

Thanks for sharing this video. Depreciation has become a common problem nowadays. We should be mentally healthy.

She’s such an amazing speaker!! I can relate to her in regards to the depression and manic episodes.

This is really sad. Depressed people are one of the most vulnerable to addiction. Once a person felt that no one is willing to help them, they would eventually turn into drugs. Thus making them addicts and drug dependant.

Though, depressionbis not a good thing. But it should not lead to addiction. This is a lesson for everyone not to allow depression to lead them to addiction. Thank you.

This was so emotional. I’m really glad you were able to shear your story to us. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing with the world about your life and how you cope up with depression. I hope many people will get inspired by this and let your past be a lesson to everyone. You are a brave person and I wish you find your happiness.

This is an amazing testimony if I'll use that term. Your story had shown that not only addiction but even a background of physical and mental abuse can be healed just by desiring to get help and looking for it in the right places.
