Hey, I'm Crystal!

I recovered from depression and anxiety in 2020. That same year, I would discover how badly others needed the same kind of help that I craved. My brother (pictured) was my biggest inspiration for writing the book that has now transformed into this. When I moved back to my hometown, I stayed with my younger brother, I saw exactly how badly he needed help, and what kind of help he needed. I wasn't mentally able to help him with everything that I wanted at that time, but I put plans in motion and babysat his children as long as he had allowed me to. I informed our mother of his need for help, and she told him, which cut me off from being able to help him. This is to honor him. He was an amazing person, but he needed help. He passed away from a heart attack April 1st, 2025 at the age of 33. Stress kills, and he was the most stressed person I had ever met! I had a lot on my plate as well, and I haven't always been capable of managing in a healthy manner. However, I know how to handle and control my stress, he never learned proper coping mechanisms or habits that would help him best, and he had so many weights on his shoulder with only some assistance and support. Here I am to help as many people as I possibly can.
