Article: "How I Learned to Stop Hiding from My Anxiety Disorder"

Ashley Zlatapolsky, "How I learned to stop hiding from my anxiety disorder," Washington Post (July 15, 2015).

Ms. Zlatapolsky's account of her struggle with her anxiety disorder - and her eventual acceptance of it - provides a valuable lesson in learning how to learn from our experiences with mental illness. Quite poignant is her last line: "I know my anxiety will never go away completely, so there’s nothing left to do except to make the best of it and use it to better understand the world around me because I’m stronger than my thoughts, and I always will be."
