Hi there! My name is Kaitlin Weigle, I'm a certified Peer Support Specialist in North Carolina, and I am passionate about helping individuals in recovery who need compassion and understanding. I am neurodivergent as well! I truly believe that no one is ever too far gone. A little bit about me, my recovery began when I began experiencing severe intrusive thoughts often about my identity, faith, family, friends, you name it I've thought the most horrible things. I started doing behaviors called compulsions that honestly started to restrict my life. I wouldn't go outside, I would seek reassurance constantly, and I would have binge addictions with food or not eat at all. The behaviors occurred just because of intrusive thoughts that would enter my mind that made me feel that there was a real threat. There never was. It all happened in November of 2023 just a few months from my wedding day. While in recovery, I have been through mental abuse, a divorce, and all kinds of life's challenges. I was scared to seek help because I thought I was turning into an evil person... I wasn't. I was a person with a serious disorder. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If it wasn't for the internet, therapy, and my loved ones supporting me while getting the help I needed, I don't think I would be here. I would love the opportunity to help others who are struggling. I know what it's like to be ashamed to get help and think you are the worst person. You're not. Everyone deserves empathy, grace, and a chance to recover. That's why I would love a chance to help. Thank you . -Kaitlin
