Pablo
When he first moved to the United States, he had big dreams along with him, but he also began experiencing uncertainty. However, he soon slid into having panic disorder. He was finding everything overwhelming because of the sudden adjustments he needed to make. There also came a time when he was breathless and in doubt if he would ever manage to find his feet again. But in all of this, he had the determination within himself that life was not going to remain the same.
Over the years, Pablo made the very brave choice to seek help and to educate himself on what he was going through. He learned strategies to deal with what was going on in his life, connected with people who understood what he was going through, and allowed himself to speak freely about the fear he used to keep locked inside. He began the process of learning how to recognize the triggers, how to soothe his body, and how to rebuild his self-confidence.
Today, Pablo is in a place that he used to think he'd never reach. He goes through life in ways that represent all the work he’s been doing in order to improve. Moving to another place in the world was no easy task for many reasons he never expected. But despite all the odds he was going through, he was able to face everything in life with resilience, bravery, and hope. His story is one that will remind you that some of the best lessons in life come from the toughest pages in your story.
