When I was younger, I was bullied and had problems at home. This led to lots of anger issues, depression, and chronic anxiety for years. As I got older, I began reflecting and working on myself, particularly with forgiveness. I began overcoming my anxiety, anger and depression through constructive methods and hobbies such as working in nature. I began mental health advocacy as a hobby in Vancouver and spoke with people from all walks in life. I realized how common mental health issues are and how most of these issues are hidden, which makes things worse. Raising awareness, compassion, and listening to people are all skills I learned that are powerful tools for healing.
