Depression lies to you.
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 16/05/2019

I filmed this at a very low, very raw time. This is what depression looks like for me on dark days. I wanted to share this with you in hopes that it helps one person feel less alone or less "crazy"...even if it feels like this right now, it won't be forever. It is going to get better. I can barely hold onto hope some days, but it is worth holding onto.

Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
