Dana, a 31-year-old nurse, shares how her seemingly “on track” life slowly unraveled in a toxic marriage that took a toll on her mental and physical health, even causing heart palpitations. After facing manipulation, family drama, and feeling like a stranger in her own life, Dana hit rock bottom — but that moment became the start of her healing. She opens up about rediscovering herself through therapy, self-care, and leaning on her family, and how she’s now focused on rebuilding her independence and creating a life that actually feels good.
