This quote may help you too!

I have never shared this publicly before so this is a big step for me (scary!), especially with a job that has me in the public eye (thankfully no one knows I’m on Lemon8)!

A few years ago while I was in college, I had my first experience with true anxiety. I could hardly get out of bed and would cry as I brushed my teeth. Won’t go into too many details about that time :)

I was terrified and didn’t really know what to do, so I went to the counseling center on my college campus for a crisis visit because that was the only way they could see me that day.

After talking with them and visiting the health center, I started on Lexapro and started seeing a counselor every 2 weeks.

During that time my aunt shared this quote with me. I printed it out and put it in places I would see it. It was one of the few things that gave me hope. Also, it became 100% true. I am doing much better today, and I even helped a close friend through a little bit of a different experience by sharing my story with them.

I’m sharing this today in case this quote helps others too.

... Read moreExperiencing anxiety can feel isolating, but many individuals share similar journeys. Engaging with mental health resources, like counseling services, plays a crucial role in recovery. It's essential to acknowledge the progress made, as sharing personal stories can empower others. For those struggling, finding coping mechanisms is vital. Inspirational quotes can serve as daily reminders of strength and resilience. As Brené Brown states, "One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else's survival guide." Remember, reaching out for help and sharing your journey can foster community, understanding, and healing. Mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression are prevalent yet often misunderstood. Emphasizing self-love, self-care, and seeking professional help are effective strategies for managing mental well-being. The importance of creating positive affirmations and surrounding oneself with supportive individuals cannot be overstated. Incorporate inspirational quotes into your daily routine to kindle motivation and hope. The experiences shared by others can shine a light on the path to healing, prompting strength within oneself to face challenges head-on.
