I'm 67, married for 46 years, and my husband retired in 2020 when COVID hit so he never got the chance to say goodbye to his office friends and campus friends because the campus was closed and only essential workers were there.
We sold our forever home just after he retired and moved far away to live next door to our two sons just as we had planned on the year before COVID hit.
He became seriously depressed, did not get help, then anxiety hit and the idea of metal decay became his obsession and would not go for medical help because - in his anxiety ridden mind - it had to be dementia. He was shattered, and with it my life and dreams of "our" retirement.
My life hit bottom. I went for help and found online counseling and I asked for couples counseling but again my husband demanded me to stop asking.
I was in counseling for just over 4 years and my mental health was intact but my life was unlike anything I had ever experience. My husband told me he doesn't love me, and maybe never did.
I fixed up the upstairs so I would have that for my "house" and I would only need to go downstairs to get food from the frig and check on him. I was going to leave but my husband's state of mental health was too bad to leave him... I love him. I also couldn't leave because I knew my sons would then become his caretakers and I love them too much to do that to them.
Vori Health called me... a marketing call to tell me my insurance includes this membership. It was a very bad day when they called so I answered it just to talk to somebody.
My stress had me at level 2 hypertension and stomach problems, and I was doing everything I could to not go on meds. I called Vori Health and the woman that answered was so kind and compassionate and she set me up with my first appointment with "my doctor". That appointment felt like a hug and I felt like I was finally headed into a new physical health direction. I had gotten all the mental support to strengthen that side, but now here I was; with people who were going to still support my mental health but they are also guiding and supporting my physical well being too. The Lord moves in wondrous ways in my life and Vori Health called exactly when I needed them.
My Vori Health doctor is so kind and she is there anytime I need to speak to her. I also have a Health/Life Coach that is there 24/7 just by sending her a quick online text from my Vori dashboard. I also have a Physical Therapist! All the stress I was battling had done horrible things to my posture and muscles, my hormones and heart. My Vori Health PT, he created a personal exercise routine for me that I can use everyday. With just click on in my dashboard, and poof I have personalized videos and an AI analysis of my body frame to make sure I'm doing the exercises correctly and tells me how to reposition my body so I'm doing it properly. If I need extra help from my PT, I just text him through the dashboard and we can set up an appointment to have a video chat.
I was expecting to sweat and ache like exercise seemed, to me, to be. My personal therapy was uniquely geared to "my" needs and was designed to work the areas of my body where stress lives. The first routine helped me pin point the problem areas and then "my" PT and I met on a video chat and he created just for me, mine own 18 minute workout that gently stretchered my tight muscles back into their proper loose, pain free, full extension and freedom again. Those simple and not at all sweat inducing movements felt great doing. That 18 minute gentle workout took years off of my body and my mental state. I could move again and felt inches taller, and that alone made me feel fresh and alive and young... the weight of the world was removed when my PT routine took "IT" out of my life and give me a feeling of power again.
Yes, the previous 4 years of psychological help I received online from my local hospital showed me its ok to be angry, and they gave me the tools to not fall into depression, but they did nothing for the physical damage this MAJOR stress in my life was doing: it was destroying my physical health and it was killing me.
It just blew me away that Vori Health and my "care team" gave me everything I needed both mentally and physically, in one online place so I didn't need to find someone to drive me, because I'm legally blind and cannot drive myself anymore.
With Vori Health, I have a team that makes appointments with me that I really want to attend: I have to show up and I want to show up because they give me hope. They gave me accountability and friendly professional human to human support... they really care about me and I feel cared for when no one in my life is doing or giving me that. My sons are awesome, but you cannot complain about their father... they need to remember him as they remember him and I will NOT interfere with that ever: I married him and said I do, not them.
My body is feeling young and that makes me feel like my mind can be too. Life ain't good but like my Grandma said... "give thanks for the bad days too because those bad days; make the good days sparkle"
My Vori Health Team... my Trinity Team... restored me. Really, I'm not just saying that, they really did give my "me" back to me and in just 3 weeks I'm smiling even when "IT" hits the fan... I know there are three people helping me walk the path and the life I was given. They help me see I'm blessed not cursed. I can have joy and not feel guilty about living my own "good" life instead of having to drown in someone else's anxiety and metal illness. Love for Love's sake doesn't have to kill you, it will make you stronger if you have support that makes you take care of yourself... Vori Health came to me exactly when I was at my lowest and look at me now! I'm alive! The darkness is leaving and the new light is shining. My life feels like the total eclipse is past and I can see the beautiful light popping back out... like the sparkle my Gram told me about.
