"Breaking the Silence: Navigating My Mental Health Journey and Becoming an Advocate"

Updated: Feb 24









Hey there! 👋


Let me begin by emphasizing the importance of taking care of your mental health. I'm Maddi, and I want to share a recent experience with you all. My anxiety recently reached a point where I nearly passed out. Living with agoraphobia, stepping outside my comfort zone can be challenging, but having Marylyn by my side makes it manageable most days.


However, a couple of days ago, I experienced a severe panic attack that led me to take a mental health day. This prompted me to reach out to a mental health provider, ensuring I had refills on my anxiety meds. They not only renewed my prescriptions but also encouraged me to start therapy. This marks the first step in ensuring I am stable and living a happy life. 🌟

Being transgender and living authentically has added another layer of complexity to my journey. On my personal social media account, I've been using my platform to raise awareness about mental health issues and the stigma surrounding them.


I want to be a voice for those who may be afraid to speak up about these important conversations. 🏳️‍⚧️I want to reiterate that my pages are a safe space for all. Everyone is welcome here. 🤗

The road ahead may be long as I work to manage my anxiety, but with Marylyn by my side, I know I can do it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.


Much love, ❤️

Maddi
