This time I have the tools to conquer stress in my life, deal with any lingering symptoms, and feel like I always have support to fall back on when I need an extra boost. I feel so fortunate to have access to help early on in my life, to be in a place to accept the help, and move past my illness.

Don’t let stigma get in the way of your recovery. You’re stronger than you think you are. Keep going – and know that no matter what you’re going through, you are never alone.
