I struggle with anxiety and depression. Nobody understood or wanted to understand this side of me. I did not understand myself for a long time. It made me so afraid to speak out about it that it completely silenced me for years. 

I was full of anxiety, depression, anger, self-doubt, and extremely low self-esteem. After a long downward spiral, I hit rock bottom. I knew there was this other “Diane” hiding on the inside waiting for an invitation to show her greatness; I just didn’t know how to find her. 

I started to acknowledge my struggles, and realized I could not do it alone. I immediately made an appointment to see a therapist. I started journaling, praying, and practicing daily affirmations to myself every day. 

After time, and more importantly my commitment to healing, I now feel a different kind of love for myself that goes far beyond my social media following and my daily outfit. 

The more I started to heal, the more I saw my potential, and the better my anxiety and depression got.

If you cannot find your commitment to healing alone, seek treatment or join groups for others that struggle with anxiety and depression. Over 40 million individuals in the US alone struggle with anxiety and depression disorders; you’re not alone in this!– Diane, OH
