Hello there, my name is Dan, I'm 22 years old and from a town near Cambridge, England.

For the past 6 years (heading for 7) I have been battling with severe and debilitating depression and anxiety. Almost 2 years ago, my childhood best friend and long term girlfriend left me, and my world came crashing down.

Despite what may seem a depressing life story, this past year has seen massive improvements in my mental health and resilience. I have become a volunteer working with young people with wellbeing issues, I am on the cusp of securing my first job and have succeeded in heading towards a healthier lifestyle and weight.

It's nice to meet you and have a pleasant day~
