Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is One of Us!

I spent most of Thursday watching the confirmation hearings on TV. I was touched by Dr. Ford's openness about her struggle with depression and anxiety. She spoke about having been in therapy, her fear of flying and the terror she was feeling at the moment about testifying before Congress.

I don't know if her allegations against Judge Kavanaugh are accurate, but I will never forget the bravery she showed by pushing through her fear to do what she believed was her civic duty.

She is a real role model for me.

Thank you for writing this too us. I too suffer with depression (clinical) and severe anxiety. I love it when people who are well known come forward. It is another step to get Mental illness in the forefront and hopefully get better help for us millions that suffer with these debilitating illnesses. Not enough of our tax dollars are spent to get us well and stay well. We must stick together and do all we can to get the help we deserve. Once again thank you from a fellow sufferer.
