About

In the beginning…


This idea started in an old composition notebook full of funny anecdotes about anxiety and relatable stories of what it looks like to live with depression. I hoped to one day share those stories but of course, I was terrified of rejection. The more I talked to friends and family about it I realized they all had similar stories to share and they all were longing to connect and be understood.

But no one wanted to make the first move.

It was a revolving door of, “Oh what a great idea, I’d love to contribute!” quickly followed by, “But I don’t think I’d be very consistent and I don’t think I’m funny or have anything interesting to say and I can’t imagine anyone would want to listen to me anyway.” (Sound familiar?)

So here I am; making the first move, peeling back the mask. I want to share your stories – your heartbreaking, hilarious, mundane stories of living with depression and/or anxiety. Wherever you’re at today on the sliding scale of, “Totally dealing with my depression in a surprisingly healthy way,” to, “Haven’t showered in three days and today isn’t looking too good either,” – I want to hear from you! Together we can break the silence and shatter the stigma of mental illness.

This is a safe place for those of us dealing with anxiety and depression, and hopefully, it is an educational place for those with friends and loved ones experiencing depression and anxiety.
