Hi, my name is EveyRosenbloom!

I am excited to introduce myself and share my story with you. Two years ago, I hit my lowest point and was struggling with severe anxiety and depression. It was a dark and difficult time, and I felt like there was no hope for me. But then, my daughter said something that changed everything: "Mommy, you can choose to be happy."

Those words inspired me to delve into the research and find all the ways I could pull myself out of the darkness. I ended up getting certified in positive psychology and the science of well-being as part of my own healing journey. And let me tell you, it has made all the difference. I went from being bedridden to completely getting my life back. The vertigo that had been plaguing me due to a vestibular migraine diagnosis faded, and I was able to start dancing and skating around the house with my kids and waking up early in the morning to swim and go ride horses.

I am happier than ever, and I don't take anything for granted. I continue to practice everything I learned – gratitude, journaling, affirmations, mindfulness, exercise, eating to beat depression and anxiety, filtering out unnecessary stressful content, and doing more of what makes me happy.

I also started a podcast called Choose to Be Happy, where I interview experts in the field of mental health every week to share with others how they too can be happy, regardless of their circumstances. I truly believe that anyone can choose to be happy, and I hope that my podcast can help inspire and empower others to do the same.

I am so grateful to be a part of this community, and I can't wait to connect with all of you and share more of my journey. Thank you for reading!

Sincerely,
Evey Rosenbloom

It was the early 90’s, but I still remember your kindness. My Dad was checking out when I saw the 25cent gum machines and excitedly asked my Dad “Papi, tienes 25centavos?” Of course my Dad rudely yelled at 4 year old me “WAIT!”
You, the kind stranger who was checking out on the line next to us and saw everything: I saw you too. You kept your stare at me and from your pocket dropped 25 cents on the floor. While my Dad was still busy checking out and giving me a hellish life, I ran to get the quarter you purposely dropped and put it in the gum machine. It’s been decades but I still remember the fun and joy you gave me that day. Thank you.

I had such a good morning, went to bio rehab ready to work. We did balance today, not my easiest. It's hard when you realise that you cannot feel any sensory input from you leg. It frustrating when something so simple seems so incredibly difficult to do because your leg can't feel or sense how. It's mentally exhausting having to think a limb to move in a way you know it can, because there is no problem with motor function. About an hour after bio my whole spine from cervical to lumbar and inbetween has flared into Neural burning, pain and stiffness. It just so frustrating to want to work hard to have a better future and to enhance yourself in order for you not to get worse and somehow to ge punished by your own body for trying to help it. I know tomorrow will be better and I know I will get up and go on and try again. But right now it sucks! To anyone else whose trying and feeling like they are failing, I'm thinking of you and sending hugs! It makes me think of Nightbirde song It's OK. Right now I'm just a little lost and that's ok. #Pain #Disappointed #frustrated #nervepain #peripheralsensoryneuropathy #discherniations #balanceissues #icandothis #healingjourney

** Warning this may be a long thought msg **

I never liked to open up and talk about my
feelings because I know people have it a lot worse than I do. I also wouldn’t open up to anyone because I never wanted people to look at me differently or have any type of sympathy for me. I have realizing that, that was the wrong choice.
A couple years ago I met a friend. We instantly connected. She was more spiritual than I was, but there was a reason why she came into my life. She had opened my eyes and made me realize that my hurt, my pain, my past doesn’t define who I am as a person. She also couldn’t believe that I endorsed so much hurt in my life but wouldn’t have know it because I am a bubbly person! She never judged me. She encouraged me to seek counseling. I was very against it because to me I didn’t want to hear the labels they would tell me I have. But that’s just it. I was in denial. I didn’t want to face it, I wanted to just forget and move on. I knew I had issues, but I wanted to pretend I was fine and normal. As I opened up and told my story I couldn’t believe how much I was holding onto. I cried a lot.

I was diagnosed with PTSD, Mild depression, Anxiety, Adult ADHD and Insomnia.

I get lost in my thoughts, sometimes they can be very negative thoughts too.

I say BROKEN ISNT BAD because I believe I have come a very long way from where I was a few years ago. I am in a healthy relationship 4 years now. I would be lying if I said things were easy for me. I struggled with my reaction and fear he may leave me because of my issues, but it’s been 4 years now and he helps me through this process.

I will be better. The first step is to open up to someone you can trust. Then baby steps moving forward!

I look at my tattoo and it reminds me that you can heal. #brokenisn ’tBAD #healingjourney
