Lyra
I couldn’t praise my therapist enough if I praised her every day until I die. Without her support, I honestly don't know where I'd be today. And none of this would happen if it weren’t for Walmart. I found myself struggling with intense anxiety for which it took me a long time to realize I had. I did some research and found that Walmart offers free therapy through Lyra, and that’s when everything changed. I guess my problems came from spending so much time isolated - living alone and not talking to anyone at work. Other than anxiety, I had challenges with attention issues and depression. My therapist used, by her words, “a logical and structured approach”, to help me understand and manage my emotions, especially during stressful times. It took a lot of effort, medication adjustments, and new strategies, but I haven't experienced a major anxiety episode at work for several months now, which is a significant achievement for me.
Isn’t it amazing how much your life can change for the better in just a few weeks!
