Growing up I struggled to cope with anxiety to the extent that I nearly lost all desire for the activities that once brought me joy. However, I refused to let anxiety define me, so I started seeking help for my condition. I found that recovery was a frustrating and extremely difficult task, but I was determined to overcome the hurdle that life had given me. It was a long process but because of my determination and hard work I can say I have made incredible progress. Today I am very outgoing and spontaneous, always looking to expand my horizons. My story is one that is marked by challenge; however, I hope that it shows others that they can overcome the things in life that hold them back just as I did. #nkustories #humansofgreatercincinnati
