Riley's wish is for EVERYONE to take the time to learn more about what mental health struggle looks like and how we can help those who are struggling so no one has to suffer alone. A quote he left for everyone to remember. "Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It's the fear of failure, but no urge to be productive. It's wanting friends, but hate socializing. It's wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be lonely. It's feeling everything at once then feeling paralyzingly numb."
