It's All In Your Head Host
Jackie Colbeth
I’ve struggled with my mental health my entire life and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the phrase “it’s all in your head”. This phrase was uttered by friends, family and even some healthcare providers. Upon entering treatment for my alcoholism in 2003, I was shortly thereafter diagnosed with BiPolar II Depression. But before then, I spent almost a decade being misdiagnosed and being yanked on and off different medications.
I was exhausted, frustrated and losing hope that I would ever be happy or accomplish anything great. I really just wanted to die because that felt easier than living with this. Then I listened to other people’s mental health struggles. Their stories were inspirational and gave me the hope I desperately needed to face my own challenges and live a great life. I want to give you the same.
