A Letter to the Past: Emily Laing's Journey from Despair to Hope

You were taking up space and you will feel almost angry at yourself that you didn't do it sooner. Hanging around as long as you have hurt could have been avoided and you wouldn't be going out with quite this level of humiliation and to make it an even more simple decision. And then, as a result of what you try to do to yourself and other things, you are going to end up in a place where you just don't have the tools to try again, and you are very fucking lucky for that.
Imagine writing a letter to your past self, filled with the wisdom and insights you've gained through hard-fought battles. In this heartfelt episode of 'Dear Emily', host Emily Laing does just that. She takes listeners on an emotional journey back to December 27, 2021, a day when her life seemed overshadowed by despair and uncertainty. Emily's candid letter to her former self is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength that can emerge from the darkest times.
With raw honesty, she recounts her struggles with addiction, shame, and the crushing weight of a nervous breakdown. Yet, through it all, Emily's story is one of hope and transformation. She reflects on the undiagnosed illnesses and gaslighting she endured, urging listeners to be braver in making rational decisions and understanding their consequences. This episode isn't just about recounting past hardships; it's a testament to the healing power of self-reflection and the unwavering belief that better days are ahead.
Emily's journey from rock bottom to recovery is an inspiring beacon for anyone feeling lost in their own struggles. Tune in to hear her story and find solace in the shared human experience of overcoming adversity.
