This is Part 2 of the conversation with Harmony, so if you haven’t listened to Part 1 (Podcast 33) I strongly suggest you do so first, because this conversation won’t make much sense without it.
How would you cope if you were diagnosed early in your life with schizophrenia? This followed years of anxiety, hallucinations, and other serious mental illnesses to the extent that she was prescribed an assortment of drugs to help her cope.
But the drugs had two major side effects; (a) they made her drowsy to the extent that the simplest of tasks became nearly impossible, and her memory was almost non-existent, and (b) the medications also made her seriously increase her weight.
She ended up morbidly obese, weighing 273 lb (124 kilograms, or 18 stone). She was so heavy that eventually both of her knees required surgery, and the vertebrae in her neck had also collapsed, so they needed surgery too.
It was at this darkest time that Harmony had to make a serious decision; continue on her current path & accept a slow, debilitating, painful road to an imminent death, or fight back.
This is the story of an incredibly brave woman who took matters into her own hands. Listen to Harmony as she explains her fight to win her life back.
The entire conversation is 1 hour & 30 minutes so I have divided it into 2 parts. Part 1 is on Podcast 33, and Part 2 immediately follows on Podcast 34.
I hope you enjoy Harmony’s story. I hope that it inspires you to take action, even when the chips are down & life is dealing you plenty of hard blows. If you are suffering like Harmony was, I hope her story will show you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but you will have to reach out and grab it! Her story is not without sweat, tears and lots of hard work. The best time to start is today. Harmony’s story will inspire you to take that first step.
