Kylee Pearl

It's that time of year again. Summer is around the corner, schools finishing up, and 'The Bachelorette' is making its debut to show us all the best (and worst) men this country has to offer. It's a wonderful time. As I always say, it truly is a way of life, something special to be a part of, and just something fun to make Monday night just a little bit sweeter with your friends.

About 4 years ago, I tried out for the hit show "The Voice" for the first time, and about a year ago I tried out for a second time.

My first time trying out, I was 16 years old, and a lot less confident than I am now. I was excited to try out and sing my heart out, but my passion for singing wasn't nearly as strong as it is today. I remember waking up that morning for the open call, nervous as hell, thinking "What if they don't like me?" but I got up and proceeded to walk through the herds of people to get closer to my dreams.

It's Been 1 Year Since I Started Antidepressant Medication, And I've Never Felt Better

One year ago this March, I began taking medication for my anxiety and depression.

Before I started, I had very little control of my mental state. Honestly, I felt like I had no control of my life, either. Even with therapy, I couldn't always control my anxiety and depression when they arose. I had gone through so many highs and lows that I can remember years by what mental state I was in.

It's not what it seems.

Yes, we love to dance, and sing, and play pretend, but that’s not what we do all day.

We treasure our downtime.

It may not seem like it, but it's a small community and reputations MATTER!

Oftentimes, the road to becoming a theatre major is NOT easy.

Most importantly, we are surrounded by some of the greatest people ever.

To the producers who encouraged me throughout the whole experience, thank you.

About 4 years ago, I tried out for the hit show "The Voice" for the first time, and about a year ago I tried out for a second time.

Contestants revealed things that many viewers probably don't know about the show.

Producers plan the weird entrances made by some of the contestants

There is no contact with outside world while filming.

Contestants make sure to eat before filming a date.

The overnight fantasy suite dates aren’t back to back.

Everyone has to get tested before they come on the show.

The hometown dates aren't always at the contestant's family's house.

The time in the water during a date is crucial for the Bachelor.

The screening process is creepy.

I feel like a totally different person from who I was just a year ago.

Why didn't I start taking medication earlier?

One year ago, I told my doctor I wanted to start taking antidepressants.

I started taking medication and it changed my life.

It's officially been a year since I started taking antidepressants, and my quality of life has gotten so much better.

Of course, life isn't perfect just because I'm on medication.

If you're struggling with your mental health, I recommend giving medication a shot.
