My name is Lara and I dream of becoming a psychologist. I am generally very interested in the human mind but what I believe is of greatest importance is mental health.

It is not talked about enough. I can say this with certainty because when I was 13 years old I started experiencing anxiety. I did not tell many at first because I was unsure how to handle it. I was embarrassed. As I grew up my mental health started declining and I eventually went to see a therapist. I went into my first session thinking “There is no way they are going to understand what I’m feeling or help me”. I walked out of that session that day with a light heart for the first time in months because I had learned something new: I wasn’t alone.

With this blog, I wish to bring awareness to everything mental health. I want to do interviews with people, give tips to my readers, and simply TALK about it.
