00:00:00
it makes me angry to be honest it makes
00:00:02
me angry thinking about how my innocence
00:00:05
was taken away when I was nine that
00:00:07
lightness of being a child was taken
00:00:10
away struggling with anxiety and panic
00:00:12
attacks and it's a day-to-day thing it's
00:00:14
not something that you can fix and it
00:00:16
goes away it's quite a heavy weight to
00:00:18
bear at times and if I look back on my
00:00:22
life there's been really great moments
00:00:24
where I haven't struggled for months and
00:00:26
months and then there's been times where
00:00:27
I've gone to Dark Places didn't know if
00:00:30
I was going to come out you know like
00:00:32
thinking about oh it's so horrible cuz
00:00:35
when you're in the depths of such a
00:00:38
struggle and you can't see a way out
00:00:42
it's really scary and it's something
00:00:44
that I know that I will have to manage
00:00:45
for the rest of my life
00:00:48
