Hi! I’m a third year psychology major, specializing in clinical psychology. Like most of you, I’ve had my share of ups and downs. I’ve seen how debilitating mental health disorders can be, especially if you don’t know why you feel the way you do or if the people around you don’t see it as a problem. I aspire to increase awareness of different psychological problems, encourage positive and open communication about mental health and it’s importance, fight the stigma of having a psychological disorder, and create a safe space for people with psychological issues to share their stories. I want you to know that you are not alone in the problems that you face. No matter what it is, someone somewhere has probably gone through something like this before. Sometimes hearing other people’s stories of perseverance or letting out all that is built up inside of you, is all we need to push through our own struggles. I want you to know that there is hope of recovery and even though sometimes it seems like it’s on the other side of the horizon, it’s still within your reach. That no matter how hard it might seem today, you CAN and you WILL get through it.
