Throughout her professional life Coretta Moore was accustomed to receiving commendations for her performance, until her later years as a bank employee when she was forced into a position she was ill-equipped for and which ultimately led to her collapse into a severe state of depression.
Now at 39, Moore, a mother of two, is still recovering; there are bad days and she still struggles to sleep and at times depends on Valium to get some needed rest. Her illness meant that she had to leave the high-pressure job, which she said saw her going to work early in the morning and leaving late at night. She is now evaluating how she spends her time and what is most important.
It was on Old Year’s Night of 2019 that Moore said she had a mental breakdown but she had known for months that something was wrong, even though she was fearful of admitting she was having issues.
