Some of You May Know Me As Law Practice Queen
Some of you may know me as the Law Practice Queen.
I came up with the brand name Law Practice Queen to encourage other female lawyers to crown themselves and have confidence even if they don't look like a stereotypical lawyer when they walk in the room.
Beyond this label, I want to share with you more.
Peel the layers back.
Because vulnerable sharing allows YOU to feel safe in my community, too.
So here goes.
In 2015, I had my first child, a girl.
By 2017, I was having issues with postpartum anxiety and depression.
I resisted getting help because I thought I could power through myself, but finally I got help in 2018 after my first panic attack.
(If you haven't had a panic attack before, it feels like you can't catch your breath, you feel like you're dying, but you're just hyperventilating.)
I started therapy.
Then saw a psychiatrist after much convincing by my therapist.
I started treatment for anxiety and depression (various medications, supplements, and Alpha-Stim treatments).
I can't believe I delayed getting help, because it made such a positive difference.
I went from irritable, angry, and crying often to... calm. Happy.
People actually noticed and asked what I was doing differently.
It made a huge difference in my quality of life.
For anyone that is going through this struggle, you are NOT alone.
