I was made fun of a lot for being overweight, for my facial hair. If I stood second instead of first in an overachieving family, it was like someone had died at home. There were days I had massive brain fog. Guys, anxiety can paralyse you. Why do we need to be a superwoman? Why are we made to feel guilty for being selfish?”
