Disrupting Stigma with Brooke Lacey

I am DISRUPTING STIGMA. this podcast is all about living successfully with Mental Illness in this crazy, insane world. I make the distinction that I live successfully with it and do not suffer from it. I mean we all suffer right? But to what degree? We can choose to overcome it or we can wallow in our sad comfortable depression blankets. Either way you'll want to listen.

    17: Aftermath of a Panic Attack

    You just don't know.  Unless of course, you do know.  Having a panic attack is the scariest thing ever - you think you're having a heart attack, or worse, you know you're not having a heart attack but your body just doesn't want to cooperate and won't let you breathe - you know it's a panic attack but you can't get it to stop. Listen to the aftermath of one of mine. Brooke is a 43-year-old adult living successfully with PTSD, Bipolar I, Panic Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder. While she doesn’t have a gruesome story of beatings, sexual abuse, or being deployed to a war zone, Brooke's story is not unique. She grew up feeling unloved and unaccepted by the one person she needed love and acceptance from the most — her mother. From an early age, she was raised with extreme religious beliefs, which caused permanent trauma that became a heavy burden in her own adulthood and motherhood. Today, Brooke is a business owner, single mother, friend to many, and stranger to no one. And she feels lucky to be alive — abundantly blessed to have found her way and to have found what has worked for her: medication, therapy, exercise, friendship, and motherhood. Brooke believes in making the distinction that she lives successfully with mental illness but does not suffer from it.  In this podcast she shares her personal experiences via a candid, no-nonsense, approach, Brooke intends to bring healing to those who may be struggling and awareness to communities at large, so as to stamp out stigma surrounding mental illness once and for all.
