Hello, I'm Douglas and I'm here to listen.

I've struggled with anxiety for years and I know what it's like to fear your own thoughts. I've talked myself in to and out of all kinds of imagined medical emergencies. I know what it's like to sit there in bed, shaking with adrenaline, waiting for the fear to stop. I know how the paranoia and distrust of other people can make friendships really hard to maintain. I want you to know that you are loved.

Excellent
Caring and intuitive. They understand the deeper issues and will guide you well.
Very supportive listener. Is quick to respond and be empathetic. He was willing to talk about a variety of topics, not just the immediate issue that was upsetting me. Definitely understands emotional stress at night and helped me not feel so alone. Amazing listener.
