From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, this time last year I was exactly where you are. Checking the door lock, every single day. I got a new job this spring. Hang on.โ€

    DeShawn S ยท been through anxiety and panic
  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. A racing heart that I was sure was my heart, and I couldn't see past it. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place in 2022. I remember avoiding phone calls like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ€
