You’re always afraid something will fall through the cracks, and your brain never shuts off - even when you're trying to relax. Or maybe everything is generally okay, but you still feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled for some reason. You feel lost and uncertain, and no one else seems to be plagued with self-doubt like you are. You wish you could handle stress without spiraling into despair and negativity.

You want to feel confident and self-assured, secure in your decisions and who you are as a person.
