Kitty Waters - My family history of depression & suicide led me to teaching, 'Do Your Dharma!'

Kitty had a relatively normal upbringing in her opinion; totally unaware that there was a history of depression and even suicide running through her mother’s side of the family.
 
In her 20’s Kitty got a six figure salaried job in the city.

To most outsiders this would seem like living the dream however Kitty very quickly ended up having a nervous, emotional breakdown. She turned to alcohol and drugs as a release. Kitty’s upbringing had been very British stiff upper lip, you didn’t express yourself or show emotions so she internalised everything which did her no good at all.
 
At 28 Kitty had a spiritual awakening. Her mum who had suffered with post natal depression when she was younger was now struggling again as she grappled with the hormonal shift of hitting the menopause. Kitty’s mum went missing and left a suicide note. When Kitty got the call she headed straight home taking her paramedic boyfriend and sister with her.
 
This was the day Kitty found out about the family history of mental health issues. As Kitty had been suffering with her own mental health for some time at this point it was a surreal experience for her to find out the truth, however there was no time to process as she needed to find her mum.
 
They went to look for her in the woods at the back of the family home, not really knowing which way to turn Kitty was suddenly aware of a voice in her head telling her to turn right, the voice then guided her to find her mum who had taken a massive overdose, thankfully she hadn’t fallen into the river and Kitties boyfriend was able to tend to her.
 
As Kitty ran back for help she promised to make changes to her life, it was a real wakeup call that took her onto the path of personal development. She has now taken her life to a whole new level; teaching Dharma and helping others find and follow their purpose to create their dream life.
