Last year, after a routine medication change due to my pharmacy closing and relocating, my anxiety was heightened as a side effect, and I decided to stop taking the prescription. Unfortunately, because of halting the prescription cold-turkey, I experienced PBCS, resulting in debilitating anxiety and frequent panic attacks. I'm no stranger to anxiety, but for the first time, I felt the weight of depression and a sense of being lost. It was a terrifying experience, but I realized I am not alone in feeling this way. No one should have to face these struggles in silence.

That's why I am passionate about this campaign that brings people together to transform hope into action. Your support can help raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. Through this campaign, we can contribute to vital programs that focus on mental health education, advocacy for stronger policies, and support for survivors.

Together, we can reduce stigma and spread awareness about mental health. Your contribution will help create lasting change and save lives. Thank you for joining me in this important mission.
