anxiety is normal

#stopthestigma

"Being diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression was a positive turning point in my life. It allowed me to make sense of the challenges I was facing and begin to educate myself on mental health. Since then, I have gained a lot more insight into my own mental health and have become a trusted resource for friends who are not sure where to begin."
"Anxiety is part of my life, but it doesn't keep me from living anymore. Saying 'I am affected by anxiety' out loud has been so freeing. I was always so afraid to talk about mental health — thinking that it somehow made me weak. Talking about it has actually made me stronger."
