About
My name is Nicky, and I am nearing the end of my first year of college. I’m just like anybody else, except that I have a condition called Selective Mutism (SM) which prevents me from speaking in most social situations.
I was diagnosed with SM at a young age, and through most of my journey with SM, I didn't even think about the possibility of overcoming it. However, a few years ago, my mindset towards SM shifted, and I decided that it was time to move past this communication barrier.
Long story short, I have successfully overcome most of my SM with the help of my family, friends, and some amazing professionals trained to treat the type of anxiety I have. I continue to make progress every day in overcoming SM.
I hope that this channel can be used as a resource for anybody looking to understand SM a bit more through the eyes of someone who has experienced life with SM. I encourage you to find hope in the fact that this is treatable and can be overcome!
Much love and stay tuned 🫶
