I first realized I needed help when...My anxiety got so bad I could no longer concentrate enough to complete life tasks

I support my mental health by...
Practicing radical self-compassion, developing a loving inner parent to make up for the one I never had, engaging in therapy even when I am not in crisis, and taking one day at a time, or even one moment at a time when need be.

I wish someone had told me...
That worth is innate and that it was not my fault
