Over the course of his life, he suffered from anxiety, depression, panic attacks and more. He started to feel better when he reached out for help. Shayne tell us about things that help him to stop his mind from spinning, things like exercise, listening to music, spending time with his dog and thinking about great memories of time spent with his dad before he passed away. If he could go back and talk to his younger self, he’d say, “You can’t do this on your own. It’s okay not to be okay. There are days when you’re going to be depressed and down and feeling anxious, but there are mechanisms and coping skills.” His advice to anybody going through something like this is to go get the professional help they need, without feeling embarrassed or bad about it.
