How to Manage Your Gremlins

I went to my first anxiety group today. Funny. No group. Just me and the therapist. Whoops. But that's okay, God has a reason for everything. Honestly I like it a lot. And I like that, as other people are expected to be there, it doesn't have to be so focused on me. There's still conversation and discussion, and I'm free to speak up about personal experiences, but this isn't just more therapy. It's a chance for me to learn more about my brain. And I enjoy that! I'm aware that this makes for a busy schedule and that these copays aren't so fun for my wallet. But I honestly don't care. I'm taking steps towards a better mental health and a better me. I know God is in control and He is placing me here for a reason. Anxiety and depression are not fun and they're not easy, but I'm grateful to God for making me the way He did, as well as for giving me resources to help me cope, people to stand by me, and endless love and support to carry me through.

Sidenote, can we talk about the fact that my last video has over 300 views?! What?!? It's only because RWBY is in the title. Someone even subscribed to me and I don't have the heart to tell him this is not a fandom channel. WHOOPS.
