I'm so scared of being alive and so scared of dying.
Picture being just 19 and grappling with crippling anxiety, panic attacks, and a fear of abandonment. That's JT's reality, and in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', he opens up to host Paul Gilmartin about his challenging journey. Growing up in a working-class environment, JT faced the devastating loss of his parents at the tender age of 8. His response? A hostile and controlling demeanor that only backfired, worsening his mental state.
At 16, JT began to embrace his sexuality, adding another layer to his already complex life. Through candid conversation, JT shares how mindfulness became his lifeline, helping him transition from hostility to peace. He talks about the importance of connecting with like-minded people and the role of self-acceptance in his healing process. This episode is a raw, heartfelt exploration of one young man's battle with anxiety and his path to finding tranquility.
