Living with any mental health disorder can be very isolating. It often feels that no one understands what you are going through no matter how hard you explain your struggles. You yearn to not feel so alone as you battle the daily symptoms you go through to hopefully have a better tomorrow.

Like many others seeking out to connect with like-minded people who struggle with anxiety and depression, I researched the internet to only be directed to websites of medical experts and professionals sharing their expertise and resources (don’t get me wrong, this is absolutely needed and important); however, it wasn’t what I was searching for.

I was looking for a place where I finally wasn’t alone as others could relate to and understand exactly what I go through when it comes to living with anxiety and depression. I wanted a place where I could relate to other first-person narrations of their successes and tribulations of living life with a mental health disorder. Most importantly, I wanted to find a community where I and others could relate to the journey of living with anxiety and depression.
