I too have struggled with mental illness from depression combined with extreme anxiety. I met my wife at the peak struggles. She saw value in me and refused to let me go about this life alone. As a result we fell in love and I became hugely successful in the battle of my demons. Like addiction I will always have demons. The best part is that with the love and support I continue to receive I am able to manage them and keep them behind me. I truly believe in your mission and must pay it forward in any way possible.
