Welcome :)

Welcome to my new blog! I will be sharing my journey to finding peace, healing, and self-confidence. My name's Lindsay, and I'm 38 years old from Central New York. This blog is somewhat anonymous (in that it's not directly linked to my author pages), as I'm feeling vulnerable with sharing emotional and somewhat personal aspects of my life. But I want to heal and to help other people who are going through similar issues as me.

I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember; severe social anxiety, OCD/intrusive thoughts, and phobias. I also dealt with major depression and BPD. In addition to that I have Sensory Processing Disorder. 

This blog is kind of an experiment to see if I can make a full recovery by learning (or trying!) to love myself. This is an ***extremely*** foreign concept for me, as I never had any self-esteem, even as a kid. So I'm completely re-training my thought process and the way that I speak to myself. It's been a lot of work, but I have recently began to start making a turnaround. I don't wake up in a panic (as much!) anymore, and I don't feel quite so angry. And I have struggled with that for decades. I won't go too much into detail, but I have had very strong and unstable moods for a very long time. I was also painfully lonely for many years (luckily I have since branched out and made new friendships and connections with other people).

I have struggled for way too long, and it's time for a change. It's never too late. I hope that this blog will be as helpful for me to write as it is for those reading it.
