I was not exactly the straight A student, so when I finally landed a job, I was so ecstatic. I never thought I can get one right away. So when I got laid off much like thousands of others, it felt like I fell into depression. I felt like a much-needed chance was robbed from me. I began to doubt my skills and wondered whether I can get another job that is as satisfying.

Feeling down and depressed is a difficult feeling. Fortunately, there was a way to feel more relaxed even at home. Shortly before I got laid off, we purchased a custom walk-in tub that my wife recommended. She researched all about how tubs can be beneficial not just for cleansing physically, but also to improve mental and emotional conditions. I remember her saying how kind and knowledgeable the staff was when she called them. She asked all sorts of questions and learned much more than what she asked.

Since I had been feeling down, my wife suggested that I take a relaxing, soothing bath every night. I took her suggestion and she even prepared aromatherapy candles that smelled wonderful. It was such a comfortable bath tub. Stepping into it was easy, since it had a door and I only needed to take a low step. It had a wide 17-inch seat, too. But I felt most relaxed by the water propulsion—it felt like having a massage. And the temperature was kept as it was all throughout the bath. With this every night, I get a good night’s sleep and I feel so much more energized. I was able to get back on my feet and had the courage to go out into the world again.
