I struggled with anxiety and depression and questioned whether or not I wanted to be alive anymore. It was when I hit this low that I decided to reach out and ask for the help of a licensed therapist. This decision ultimately helped save my life. You don’t have to wait for things

her will, her strength, her determination…she simply never gives up. She’s a great example to us all. Congrats and thank you, Serena!!
Pumped to be racing again... Happy with the time tonight right where I wanted to be!!
It’s truly been fun to watch Serena not only change the sport of tennis, but more importantly, how she’s helped empower the next generation. Her tennis accomplishments speak for themselves, but one of the things I admire about her is she simply doesn’t quit. On or off the court

I’m going to take some time away to attend a program that will provide the help I need to better understand myself.
I am back in the pool training and have set new goals for myself in and out of swimming for 2015 and beyond.
This is an important issue in every sport, and I encourage all adults to join me in completing this program.
and do the necessary work to learn from this experience and make better decisions in the future.
My suspension is finally up! Time to get back in the pool and race again! Looking forward to #mesa !!
Hope I make it over the plate!!
