Hello, I am Diana, also known as Dee, a mother of four wonderful children and currently working in the Oil and Gas industry. At the end of 2021, I unexpectedly faced Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and anxiety. Initially, I was in denial, questioning my resilience as someone who always saw herself as strong. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and several significant milestones in my career and family life impacted my mental health profoundly.

This period marked the lowest point in my career, but I am grateful to say that I have bounced back, stronger and with a clearer understanding of what truly matters to me. I am now more mindful of my priorities and how to navigate them. Surprisingly, I remain with the same organization, but as a better version of myself, with a clear vision of my goals and how to achieve them.

If you ever find yourself in a moment of confusion, need someone to listen, or want to share your story, especially regarding the challenges of balancing work and family as a mother and career woman, I am here to lend an ear and share my experiences. I am now a renewed version of myself, with a deeper appreciation for mental health and the choices we have in life. Let’s connect and converse! 😊
