Introducing Myself
Hello everyone!
I’m thrilled to embark on this journey, where I get to share snippets of my life, experiences, and thoughts with you all, as well as help the community. As a 29-year-old therapist from the UK, I find joy and purpose in helping others navigate through their challenges, which is a core part of who I am. Since my early years, I’ve always felt a deep-rooted desire to assist those around me. This innate passion led me to become a therapist. My work allows me to empower individuals, guiding them towards healing and self-discovery. It’s more than a profession for me; it's a calling.
Apart from my professional commitments, volunteering holds a special place in my heart. Whether it’s lending a hand at local events or participating in various community services, these experiences enrich my life immeasurably. It’s through volunteering that I connect with diverse individuals and contribute to causes I deeply care about.
Life at home is joyously chaotic, thanks to my two adorable dogs. They are not just pets; they are my family. Their boundless energy and unconditional love bring a unique sense of warmth and comfort to my everyday life.
When I’m not working or volunteering, you’ll often find me immersed in the world of horror films. There’s something about the adrenaline rush and the intricate storytelling that captivates me. Additionally, playing the piano is a therapeutic escape for me. The melody, rhythm, and harmony are like a balm to my soul, especially after a long day.
Spending quality time with my family is something I treasure immensely. Whether it’s a simple dinner together or a weekend getaway, these moments are priceless. They are my support system, my cheerleaders, and my source of endless joy.
Living with Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder (DPDR) has been a significant part of my journey. It has given me firsthand experience with anxiety and the unique challenges it brings. This personal battle inspired me to become a forum supporter on anxiety forums. I hope to use my experiences to help others who are navigating similar paths.
Joining a wonderful team of forum supporters is a new chapter I’m incredibly excited about. I believe in the power of shared experiences and communal healing. This role allows me to extend my support to a broader community, something I’ve always aspired to do.
