My dad sent me an article today about famous people and their struggles with anxiety. While the article itself doesn't have much substance or any mind-blowing tips, I couldn't help but feel glad that stars are stepping out and speaking up about the disorder. I admire their courage and find it encouraging towards helping to undo the stigma still associated with anxiety and other mental disorders.
I was also touched by the fact that my dad was taking an interest in learning more about it and wasn't afraid to bring it up with me. I often find that people tip toe around discussing mental disorders and are uncomfortable talking about them. How can anyone get better without open communication in the healing process? Here's to hoping more people find the courage to do the same and keep things headed in a positive direction!
Here's the article--thanks, Pops!
