+ ABOUT ME +
WHPNotes stand for Whitney House Positive Notes. I (Whitney House) started this brand to share my testimonies and stories. Let me share a little about me. In 2014 I experienced my first episode of severe depression. I had been experiencing depression for almost 2 years before it became worst. Later 2014 I found myself in one of the darkest spaces in my life. Unable to get out bed. Unable to do basic living habits. December 24, 2014 was the day I was about to commit suicide but God's spirit saved me. To hear more on this WATCH HERE.
After that experience I wanted to live a better life mentally and physically. I started spending more time with God, running, journaling, decluttering my living space. In 2015 I created Whpnotes to share my self love journey with others. I started off with an Instagram post, followed by leaving random flyers through out NYC to attract more ppl to my page. Fast Forward to late 2017, where I experienced depression in a whole another way. It started off with me feeling a little tired. It was manageable for me to do day to day activity. Moving into 2018 is where I started feeling more and more exhausted just by doing basic things like putting on clothes. I lost interest in my craft, my career, everything around me. Before I knew it my depression was at its highest. March 7, 2019 I was working on creating a book bag for my business (The Creative Era). As I sat in front of the sewing machine unable to focus, unable to produce as I normally do. I began to cry for hours, I cried until the next day. By the morning of March 8, 2019 I couldn't feel any internal emotions. My mental state was so far removed that I no longer felt safe with myself. I immediately told my loved ones I didn't feel mentally ok. I was rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital, where I stayed 6 days in their psych ward facilities. Honestly speaking this was the best thing that ever happened to me! To hear more about this WATCH HERE. |
