Before you start reading... There has never been a time when our community and content was needed more. Unlike other sites, we don't publish sponsored content or share affiliate links. We also don’t run ads on our site and don’t have any paywalls in front of our content–-anyone can access all of it for free.
This means we rely on donations from our community (people like YOU!) to keep our site running. We want to be here to support you all through this pandemic and beyond, which is why we are asking you to consider donating whatever you are able.
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.
When struggling with anxiety, it is so easy to get caught up in the thoughts in our head. These thoughts create mental barriers that are very difficult to overcome, but it’s not impossible.
One of the main mental barriers I had to overcome in my anxiety recovery was the feeling of weakness. I thought because I was constantly anxious and fearful, I was weak and not strong enough to overcome my anxiety. Just because you feel weak, doesn’t mean you are.
In this video, I talk about how I overcame my mental barrier of thinking I was weak and why choosing to take medication for your anxiety is not a sign of weakness.
