I AM BURSTING WITH HAPPINESS...

EVEN THROUGH AN EIGHT MONTH BATTLE WITH CLINICAL DEPRESSION AND SEVERE ANXIETY, I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE ON SATURDAY!!!!!

I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF MYSELF AND ALMOST CANNOT BELIEVE I ACCOMPLISHED THIS AMAZING GOAL WHILE GOING THROUGH HELL.

I AM LIVING PROOF THAT WE CAN ALL BATTLE THESE ILLNESSES AND THAT WE CAN AND WILL REACH OUR GOALS!!!!

I am still on week six of the program but now more then ever, I refuse to give up.

NEVER give up on yourself.
You are the most important person in your life.

Lets continue the journey of accomplishments and being one step closer to full recovery together!!!

Congratulations again you deserve a big hug & at a girl. I can't imagine getting a degree with anxiety & bad self talk snapping at my heels.
