This week for #freeyourmindfriday, Jamaal Allen took over Insta stories to share his story of living with anxiety and depression. Jamaal says, “Getting my story out is important because no one did for me. I was so ashamed at how much I struggled that I kept it to myself until something had to give. Had I known other people were feeling the things that I felt, I might have asked for help a lot sooner. So, now it’s important for me to be an advocate to help other people seek treatment before it gets unbearable.”
