But to say you know, to genuinely say to that person that is hard and is shit and is awful and as dark, you know, as it seems at that time, that there is someone who will always listen.
Imagine feeling so overwhelmed by anxiety and depression that you can't see a way out. That's where Peta Dampney found herself in 2005, leading her to a desperate attempt to end her life. But that moment became a turning point. In this raw and heartfelt episode of 'Making Sense of Chaos', Peta opens up about her journey from the depths of despair to becoming a passionate mental health advocate.
As a child, Peta was often dismissed as having an overactive imagination, but her struggles with anxiety and depression were all too real. These challenges followed her into her teenage years, culminating in suicidal thoughts. With the unwavering support of her family and the guidance of mental health professionals, Peta learned to dismantle harmful thought patterns and begin her path to recovery.
Now, she channels her experiences into helping others, raising awareness about mental health and offering support to those in need. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with their own mental health battles, showing that even in the darkest times, recovery is possible.
