 My name is Kellene Diana and I used to struggle with anxiety and depression. Nobody understood or wanted to understand; in 
fact they called me names and passed judgment before they even knew what I was going through. It made me so afraid to speak up 
and speak out about it that it completely silenced me for years. 
 For a very long time I was full of anxiety, depression, fear, anger, self-doubt, low self-esteem and alcohol. Everything was 
hurting me emotionally, mentally and physically! But, as scary as it was, I took a stand and put up a serious fight for my soul, my 
health, my spirit and everything that matters in this life! I stopped caring about what people thought and started caring more about 
getting better. 
 First, I acknowledged my struggles, and then I immediately made an appointment to see a therapist. I started journaling, 
reading stories of hope and triumph on the Anxiety and Depression Association of America’s website, praying, meditating, exercising 
and speaking life and love over myself every SINGLE day! 
 Because of my commitment to my healing, nowadays when I look in the mirror, I feel a different kind of love for myself that 
goes far beyond my outfit, my red lipstick and my mascara! I now see my will, determination, resilience, and that I’m a fighter, a 
survivor, a queen, a warrior, a healer, a leader and a person who stopped using circumstances as an excuse to stay stuck! 
 This story is to simply show you that if I can beat anxiety and depression and all the other things that I have battled that tried 
to take me out, so can you!
