Hey gang! First off just wanna say I got my first order form you guys and love the clothing. Fits great! Looks great! Look forward to receiving my 2nd order that’s on its way. A little about me and my story. I have always suffered from depression and anxiety. In my younger years not near as bad as the last couple years. I spent around 5 years on our local volunteer fire department in which I think some of my feelings of depression and anxiety stem from. Was on a few bad calls, one or two of which stuck with me every day. Zero regrets on that. Serving my community and the guys and gals I served with on there I loved dearly. I also worked for my
Municipality for almost 20 years. Now this is where the worst of it stems from. After nearly 20 years of working for the municipality I showed up to work one day and was just let go. In a dying mining community there really is no other work in town so that really hit home. I was unemployed for months picking up some work here and there working for a friend of mine in which I am extremely grateful for him and his wonderful family. I have been working a camp job for a year and a half now and couldn’t be more thankful and grateful that this company sees so much in me and have giving me an opportunity to regain myself. But through the past couple years I have been on medication with a few trips to emergency due to panic attacks, thinking I was having a heart attack and extremely high blood pressure. Christmas Eve marked 10 months of complete sobriety, and am making steps to becoming the best version of myself that I possibly can. My family (both home and work) have been extremely supportive about it all. And now that I’ve found you guys and will continue to wear your gear for the cause we are all here for or supporting I thank you guys for what you are doing. I’m hoping my story can help anyone. Even if it’s one person just to know that on the darkest of days we can get through this. Find a support group and definitely talk about it. Talking helps. I didn’t think it would but my god was I wrong. And At the end of the day…..maybe all these days are, are just bad days. That’s it. And everybody has them.
