I want to…

I want to share my story of struggling, fighting and dealing with anxiety and depression. 8 years of first-hand experience.  Real stories of the ups and downs I’ve faced as a teenage girl in high school and now as a young woman. I want to let other people who have been diagnosed to know that they aren’t alone in their battle with their mental illness. I want to let people who support and love those with a mental illness to know they aren’t alone. I’m tired of the stigmas and the shame that surround mental illness. I want to change the words that revolve around having a mental illness. I want to get people talking about mental illnesses. I want to talk about mental illnesses every day for the rest of my life. I want to talk about living with anxiety and depression. I want to encourage people to seek help when they need it. I want to make a difference. I want to show people how I live with my mental illnesses.

Here goes nothing…
