<meta charset="utf-8"> <p data-mce-fragment="1">This is a watch band I have wanted for a while. Having eventually treated myself to an Apple Watch I immediately found the website and got the band ordered.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Why this band?! Around 5 years ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I’ve had many ups and down but my biggest low was during August and September 2023 when I made three, thankfully unsuccessful attempts on my own life. Sleeping pills and hanging to be exact!</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Fast forward 12 months. I spent two weeks in a psychiatric hospital and undertook 18 EMDR therapy sessions for a diagnosis of PTSD. I’m not better, the darkness may always be there. Therapy taught me to be kind to myself, even the dark parts.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">This band is a reminder of that. Do not give up and make room for kindness to myself, even when I feel unworthy of it!</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">- Jamie E.</p>
