YOU ARE ENOUGH
Build the best version of you!
I am passionate about sharing my story in the hopes that everyone who hears it can appreciate that they too are enough and they too are worthy.
About Me
My name is Carolyn Sophia Skowron. I am someone who has always felt like an outsider. From a young age I struggled making friends, fitting in and being my true authentic self. I grew up feeling like I never fit in and never was good enough. I spent most of my life internalizing every situation. I always thought people didn’t like me. What I failed to realize was that part of why I internalize so much is because I have something called Nonverbal Learning Disability or NVLD. I was diagnosed with this in my sophomore year of high school and started to get answers, but I still struggled with depression and anxiety.
All of the things I have lived through and conquered have built me into who I am today. For the longest time, my building blocks were depression, anxiety, self doubt, and self hatred. After fully buying into therapy and mindfulness my building blocks are now filled with resilience, strength, adaptability, and positivity. Everyone has their own building blocks as to what makes them themselves. Being self aware and knowing your building blocks is crucial when trying to build a happy and healthy life.
Feeling Alone
Despite all the love and support around her, at an early age Carolyn Sophia felt like she never fit in. Growing up she always struggled making friends. She felt alone. She would try to develop friendships but friends would come and go. She began to internalize that she was the problem. She was not good enough and something was wrong with her. She felt alone and unworthy. Carolyn Sophia became the victim of school bullying. Different schools had the same result. Going to a new school was supposed to be a new opportunity to find some other friends and start to fit in. The voices of her bullies became the voice in her own mind: “I am ugly,” “I am unworthy,” and “I am not good enough.”
Depression & Anxiety
The depression got worse and Carolyn Sophia started experiencing significant anxiety. She was depressed everyday and never was her true self. This made her start to question herself and hate herself and life. She felt that she was never enough for anyone or any group. She started to feel worthless and wanted to die. She began to spend time with others struggling with depression and those friendships quickly became toxic.
