In my former ordinary world, I was the person who kept to myself. I often felt excluded in my friend groups and never had a close circle that I felt comfortable with. When I was experiencing big emotions like sadness, hurt, and anger, I would take those feelings out on myself, Eventually, I found my people, those who kept me feeling safe.

What you feel matters. What you feel is real. A lot of people really do care and I hope if you are struggling, that you connect with those people, possibly through Jack.org programs!

It's okay to feel this way. Life can be unpredictable, and you never know what’s coming next—maybe it’s something wonderful, something you’ve never expected to happen. Stay positive, and remember that you are not alone. There are people who care and Jack.org is here for you, whenever you need it. Take one day at a time, and be gentle with yourself!

You can fight through your anxiety and some things do make it less. Challenge it. I force myself to go outside and walk around when I have severe anxiety or panic attacks.
