It’s funny how life has its ways of nudging you into change. Helping you to become your true self. I can relate to so much of what you are writing. In my case it got so bad that a life unlived, unfolded into severe anxiety and panic attacks. I didn’t understand that in the beginning but now that I am through it and help other people do the same, I can see the same pattern in people experiencing depression and anxiety. Almost all of them are living a life that is not theirs. Living toxic values and trying to fulfill other people’s expectations instead of listening to their inner voice. I know how hard it is, I’ve been there. Today I am helping people to see their true self and live up to their full potential. Nothing makes me happier to see these souls freeing themselves. Thank you for sharing your story and keep on walking into the light. Just published my second article about how I got out of severe anxiety. Would love to get your feedback on it. Much love, Jan
