My name is Vanessa Hanon, but I go by the name Nessie. I'm twenty years old, and I've been battling anxiety for a very long time. Anxiety-a strange yet comforting word. Anxiety is apart of me, and I don't know who I am without my anxiety. I've been fighting this long battle with anxiety all my life, and for the longest time I felt like I would never be in control of myself. I was my anxiety's shadow, and that was not okay. I decided that I wanted to seek help. I wanted to conquer my anxiety because I knew I wanted to live my life and not live in constant fear. Mental illness is a real thing, and I hope you find inspiration to seek help and remember you are not alone. This is my story with anxiety and how I learned to stay strong.
