Opinion: Therapy can be helpful, but only if you're willing

By Kenzie Holbrook
July 12, 2021 12:00 AM
I have always had an anxious personality, but it wasn’t until I had been in college for a couple years that I realized how my anxiety was negatively affecting me. I could tell it was starting to get worse the older I got and as I had to start making bigger life decisions. I would panic every time it came time to make a decision. Sometimes I felt like I was incapable of making decisions because I would just shut down every time something uncomfortable happened or anytime I had to try to do something hard.
