Marsha struggled with depressive episodes and anxiety throughout adolescence and at university, but at age thirty, she opened her heart to a different approach: With the understanding that depression and anxiety would always be a part of her, Marsha gave them space. She discovered new ways of perceiving her mental health, embracing acceptance rather than shame and self-love instead of self-hate.
