Hey everyone!

My friend recommended this app to me.

My name is Mavis. I’m 23 years old.

I’ve struggled with generalized anxiety and depression for years. I’ve been self-harm free for five years now.

This past year or so I’ve really been climbing the mountain to a better, healthy life. I’ve started therapy. I’m on some good medication.

I hit rock bottom before I started the climb.

I attempted suicide and it’s just been a long, anxious, and confusing road since then.

But I’m hopeful now. I’m treating myself better.

I’m basically here to meet new people who understand how it feels to struggle with these things. Although I feel like I’m getting better I still have those days where I just don’t want to get out of bed or my anxiety has a tight grip on me.

If you took the time to read this,

Thank you very much 🙏🏻🖤
