Stress, Anxiety, Depression ~ The Story

My former career is not something I enjoy reflecting on. I was a Mortgage Loan Officer, specializing in credit repair, which wasn't popular in the world of money hungry supervisors. I worked with people who had low credit scores, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and anything else that would make a human being look unworthy to society. The reward for bringing a person like that to homeowner status is unlike anything money could ever buy. That's why I did what I did. I was passionate about helping dreams come true.

Behind the scenes, I was suffering from narcissistic abuse. It gave me anxiety about going into the office, and it was depressing. Corporate was encouraging us to "think outside of the box", yet my supervisor was not so fond of the idea. It was a constant uphill battle that eventually led to my resignation after 14 years in the industry. I knew NOTHING outside of mortgages. I was terrified, but I no longer cared. My sanity was worth more than any career could ever offer me.

A New Career Path

Throwing in the towel on my career, my life experience, and my income was not an easy decision. I enrolled back in college, but I had no idea what I was going to do to make ends meet. My mother-in-law unexpectedly passed away during this time, adding to the feelings of grief and depression. Lavender and chamomile were two of my favorite herbs that got me through my own healing process. Resigning from a career that you love is depressing when you have nothing to look forward to, and losing someone close to you is one of the hardest experiences we encounter in this life. These herbs kept my anxiety in check in moments I felt like having a panic attack. They minimized stress, and kept me from falling into a deep depression. I used them in tea, in my bath, and became a huge fan of lavender lotions and pouches.
