I don't think that mental illness has to hold me back for anything
Elizabeth was struggling with anxiety, depression, and feeling unable to pursue her big dreams. Through Lifebook, she found the courage to write out her dream life and discovered that mental illness doesn't have to hold her back from achieving what she's wanted since childhood.
Before Lifebook, I was very anxious and depressed. I couldn't ask for help for goal setting because people think my dreams are too big. I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder and schizotypal personality disorder (this diagnosis is in the process) Thanks to Lifebook I could finally write out the dreamlife that I wanted. I don't think that mental illness has to hold me back for anything! Now the dreamlife that I wanted since I was a little dreamy child will become reality. After only 6 weeks I already see improvement, like there is a bright light in the dark. I cannot wait to experience my life with joy again!
