I you know couldn't leave my house most days. I couldn't leave my room I couldn't get out of bed It felt like my mind had given up on me I just, I didn't, I didn't see future. I just didn't want to be here anymore and You start to you know question your ability as a parent You can't do anything you can't make it better to see my little girl With therapy I became better and then about four months ago is when it hit me the hardest it's ever hit me before I just, I felt so bad about myself I didn't I didn't like who I was I I didn't know how to bring myself out of it and We felt helpless we didn't know which way to turn and nothing was working and music found her. Being here today is Incredible I remember. I couldn't step out of the bed. I didn't want to face the world and now I'm facing thousands of people It's meaning the world to me To see her out there And wanting to do for her Personally I also have an anxiety disorder I suffer from OCD People don't really know what it takes, and how much suffering it is for you to even show up today is so amazing In front of all these people.
