Our Story
Anxious Ambition was started when Justin Allen, a man who has dealt with anxiety, OCD, and depression since the age of fifteen, decided he could help others with mental illnesses reach their full potential. What started off as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder prohibiting him from going about his day without completing any number of “rituals” soon turned into five years of going through college in a self-medicated haze.
Now out of college, married, and working full time, he knows that you can’t just “get over” a mental illness. He also knows that it doesn’t have to define you.
Our goals and knowledge are born from experience. We strive to be a community of ambitious individuals who don’t let anxiety or other mental illnesses stop us from achieving our dreams. We strive to do this because we’ve been there. We’ve hit rock bottom. We’ve felt nothing else but hopelessness and despair. We’ve let anxiety and depression rule our lives. We’re still here. We desire to provide that for you.
Of course, we know that we cannot do this alone. No man is an island. That is why a portion of every sale will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, in the hopes of providing for those that are suffering and their families, so they can get the help they need.
We are Anxious Ambition, and we want you to know that YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
