Early in my battle with severe social anxiety and selective mutism, I would assume that there was some kind of magical cure out there that I was missing out on. For a long time, I thought, for me, that that magical cure was changing schools, and that after I changed schools, I could live the anxiety-free life that I had always dreamed of. It is not until now, after changing schools and developing depression on top of severe social anxiety that I am realizing that mental Illnesses do not come with a "magic cure" and that sometimes, things are going to get much worse before they get better.

CategoriesAll About MeMy name is Lauren and I am 20 years old. I have an anxiety disorder called selective mutism that limits my ability to speak outside of my home. I believe that this disorder has touched me for a reason, and my life mission is to bring much needed awareness to this heartbreaking disorder. Welcome to my journey. Archives
