Where life lead her next

Kaityln’s boyfriend then got a job offer in Germany. She made the tough decision to go with him. Kaitlyn said,  “Everything in me told me to follow my heart… but a small part of me was dying everyday that I wasn’t doing what I loved to do. And I think that was really hard for me and I think that would be really hard for anyone to lose that part of passion in your life, just to follow somebody else’s dream.”

She eventually went home and knew that life wasn’t for her. Kaitlyn moved home to her mom and dad’s. She was struggling with depression and not knowing who she was anymore. Kaitlyn went to the doctor and he put her on Valium. She liked it at first, but she also didn’t know what it could do to her. She began displaying some behavior that alarmed her family.

Kaitlyn said, “I had become addicted to Valium and I was about 93 lb and that is when somebody had to shake me and say you can’t live like this, this is not you. I’ll never forget my mom coming into the room middle of the night with YouTube videos of hypnotizing people saying, ‘You’re happy, you’re going to be okay,’ and she just played it in my ear as I slept.”
