about me & my brand
I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, and debilitating OCD three years ago. I was in the second semester of my first year in college at Sacramento when it all started. It was subtle things like refolding blankets, making sure the door was locked to my dorm constantly, and being anxious before going into class most of the time. A couple of months later it started to get worse.
I won't explain my whole story just because its a long one but you can listen to my podcast episode where I go into depth about my mental health journey.
I later left college in the middle of the second semester of my second year at college because my mental health had reached its lowest point or so I thought. When I arrived back home I was on the look for a therapist and psychologist.
Fast forward to December 25, 2019, I’ve gone through SO MUCH it’s insane, I’ve found the perfect therapist and psychologist and I have the best support system (family, friends, and co-workers) and I can proudly say that after two full years of therapy and counting I have improved so much! The reason why I created “Sparkle Apparel” was to bring awareness to mental health because so often it is stigmatized. My goal is to show people that IT WILL GET BETTER.
A portion of each proceeds will be donated to an organization helping spread awareness for mental health, thank you.
