Delaney Burke | When Life Hands You Anxiety (and great mates)

In a hilariously and very raw tale, Delaney Burke spills about her diagnosis with a "body inbuilt with worry" and the rollercoaster that followed. Cue a late-night drive that lands her at City Beach, staring down the waves and, well... rethinking her life choices. Just when she thinks she's found some peace, things take another turn with police, paramedics, and a "comfy seat or paddy wagon" offer she can’t refuse. But as she’s about to realise something big about herself…

Note: This story does contain the mention of suicidal thoughts.
