This was the letter I wish I found at 21. The part about “feelings produce thoughts” really hit—I've been stuck in that exact loop, blaming myself for the thoughts instead of listening to what my nervous system was trying to say.
Thank you for writing with such vulnerability and clarity. If you're open to it, I’d love to exchange thoughts sometime. I write a Substack called Letters From The Edge—emotional storytelling, anxious love, healing the ache of being too much. Always down for mutual subs if you vibe with it.
Vulnerable and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing, although my road was different, I always love reading about people finding their way to a better life, naturally. Hope you are having a lovely day!
I’m amazed by this post, the number of people who suffer anxiety and are forced to take hard meds (that you can’t get off later) is growing. I wish more people knew your story. Thank you for sharing it
Thank you Savaghn. Isn't it amazing when we find the right things to take that actually have such a strong impact on our brains and nervous system? It was brave of you to also share something that is so personal. Thank you for feeling like you could do this!
Thanks for sharing your story... Love to see how you focused on nervous system regulation with basic hygiene work first (sleep, exercise, sunlight) and then moved on to meaning and work. Without taking care of our bodies our brains can't envision what's possible.
