Hello, my name is Austin.
---------------------------------About My Experience--------------------------------------------
I am a young person who has experienced much difficulty with anxiety and depression over the years. I've had many people on 7 cups help me through difficult times, and I want to pay it forward. In my teen years my weight ballooned to 260 lbs, and I had many issues with my self-image. The depression that followed was accompanied by my first existential crisis at age 15, and I was able to work through it with the support of my parents. Since then I've been dedicated to improving myself in ways that make me happier and healthier, I've gotten my weight down 60 pounds so far and I try to cope with my existential thoughts.
---------------------------How I try to help---------------------------------
I know from first hand experience that sometimes what we really need is someone to listen to us. I am here to be that person for anyone that needs it, I never want anybody to feel hopeless or alone in a difficult time. I can offer a unique non-religious perspective for those who seek to reconcile mortality and happiness. I can offer the strategies that I've tried for myself, and the techniques I use to make it through the day feeling calm and relaxed.

Please feel free to contact me anytime.
