So that tells me why all those things were happening for my childhood.

Yes, definitely.

When I was in my support group,

another lady was telling me that she's also highly anxious and while going through her own mental health and dealing with her family member it's been extremely difficult it's like it's almost impossible at times to manage both so as as of now for me i am i'm also medicated so i feel like medication

does help for a lot of people that was definitely the root for me it's where it's where i'm able to even come here and talk about all of this you should be very proud of yourself thanks it takes a lot of strength and vulnerability to be able to do that it's not easy yeah it was it's definitely a lot yeah but i think that it's it's

Yeah, that's how I feel.

Expressing it, it does actually feel good to open up about it and just spread the awareness too.

Exactly, yes.

Right.

And...

you'll actually find that people are receptive to it too and not gonna just judge right away.

And there's, I mean, for me too, it's like nobody's judging the situation.

They're just empathetic, at least the people I've told.

And I realize now there's no reason to feel ashamed or guilt about it.

This is just what's happening.

It's just the cards we were dealt with.

And anyone could have been dealt these cards.

I mean, this happened to Brian, who was least likely to...

have this diagnosis where he was playing all these sports he was mr cool in high school he was he didn't seem to have any anxiety or fears but it happened to him yeah and what i would want to spread awareness for is that somebody

with a disorder like Brian's, it doesn't make them a monster.
