This week's guest is deeply passionate about parenting, mental health, and wellness,
They grew up with the impression they were losers, feeling worthless and helpless.
The environment they rose from wasn’t healthy and they struggled academically, and while resilient, they felt inadequate for a long time.
Avi Wolfson was as a young adult, diagnosed with Bipolar Type I (previously known as Manic Depression) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Anxiety was evident and present within his family but seldom talked about, nor did he have permission to feel sad or express any feeling besides happiness. In addition, he felt pressured to take on heavily religious activities but had no interest in them; this all took a heavy toll, leading him to drink, take drugs, and music as vices.
Avi joined the US National Guard in high school to absolve himself of this shame. he was proud to serve a country that he loved and protect the society in which we live so freely, but being in the military didn’t prevent any of those problems, nor did it make them go away. and he was back at square one and rock bottom.
Avi has struggled with MDD, Bipolar I, and has gone through very dark times in a traumatic childhood as a young, separated father to a girl, they believe their experience and unique perspective on single parenting would be valuable as he has become a stronger and more resilient person by finding light within my darkness.
