"When I first came to Streetwise, I was in a terrible state, I really had no hope for the future. I put myself in a position where I thought that I could not feel better or do things I wanted to do due to how badly I reacted to things. Ever since I spoke to Streetwise about my mental health, I felt as if I could find a way to improve. I felt more motivated to improve mentally. Over the past weeks, I have finally adapted new techniques which are giving me hope for the future, thanks to you. You have put my mental state back on track and now I feel much happier and better. Thanks so much."
