My name's Chloe Henkel, and I have OCD, anxiety, depression, and trichotillomania (a mental disorder that causes compulsive hair-pulling). I used to think of it as a curse. A burden. The worst thing in the history of the world. And although I'd definitely rather not have to struggle with these disorders, I don't view them the same way anymore. Because of the experiences I've had, I wrote a book of poetry, 'Sick Days,' to help other people dealing with the same things. I've used my struggles as an opportunity to help others like me. And that makes it all worth it.
