Ever think about therapy? Anxiety that shows up at 2am, ADHD/neurodivergence that makes everything hard to organize, trauma you've been carrying quietly for years, depression that makes ordinary days feel exhausting, and wondering if therapists actually understand what it's like. For 15 years, I have been helping people carrying all these things.
