A single (or monthly) donation of just $5 will make a HUGE difference and will help keep our nonprofit running so we can continue offering peer support for mental health through our content.
Believe it or not, there truly is life after struggling with crippling anxiety. At one stage, my anxiety was so bad that I would randomly burst into tears at work, and even leaving the house to get to work was an incredible struggle. But now I am able to live my the way I have always wanted. I no longer struggle with social anxiety – I can travel on my own, and I now feel as though I am the controller of my anxiety as opposed to the anxiety controlling me.
Counseling, medication, and setting myself small challenges was what enabled me to get to where I am in my recovery today.
