Hey friends ๐๐ฝ I thought Iโd introduce myself. Iโm Bronty, and if I had to sum myself up in one line, it would be: stronger than I ever realised.
My journey with mental health started young. Anxiety has always been part of my life, and at times itโs shown up as full-blown panic disorder. Iโve had seasons where panic attacks ruled my days and depression made it hard to get out of bed. On top of that, Iโm neurodivergent, and for years I masked just to get by, which led to endless cycles of burnout. Iโve also lived through toxic and controlling relationships that left me feeling like I was failing at life.
But hereโs the thing, I didnโt break. I left the life that was destroying me, I discovered who I really am and I started to truly know myself. Now I'm understanding my triggers, my values, and the tools to help me through the hard days.
Iโm also a mum, and honestly? Parenting while healing yourself has been the hardest but most meaningful thing Iโve ever done. Helping my daughter learn about her emotions while Iโm still figuring out my own has taught me resilience like nothing else.
Iโm definitely still a work in progress, but Iโm proud of how far Iโve come. From surviving to actually living. Excited to be here with you all ๐ป๐
