My name is Sydney Szmuc. I am a 25-year-old from Arlington, Tx. In the past seven years of my life, I had to drop out of school, where I had a full ride to college, due to depression. During that time I felt as if I lost everything. I lost my status, what I thought defined me as a person & I could no longer hide the brokenness me inside of me. For two years of my life I ran away from my emotions & dealing with the pain I felt in my chest. It wasn’t until my 3rd Suicide attempt that I finally said it was time to change & my awakening process begun. It lead me on a healing journey to go from someone who always felt perpetually alone, who was a people please, codependent, had no meaningful relationships in my life, didn’t feel connected to my family & didn’t feel connected to my own body. To someone who understands, sees & hears her own self. Also have built meaningful relationships in her life.

I am also the founder of Young Women Loneliness Project. Our vision is: Unifying young women together who feel lonely by creating a community that helps them let go of shame, guilt while learning to understand themselves.
