In this project I will be attempting to explore Anxiety and how it leads into Depression, through Illustrations that relate to my own personal experience and possibly others.

I hope that it will create
a dialogue and awareness between those suffering from the illness and loved ones or people that have someone in their lives suffering.

I want to express what it can feel like to have the illness and what might cause it in different people, and ways of overcoming or perhaps coping with it.

Talking to loved ones, friends or people you can trust about how you feel and seeking help from others, but at the same time not relying on others too much and fixating entirely on yourself and how you currently feel.

Knowing and understanding what triggers your fears and how they affect you both mentally and physically, and then being able to control them.

It is not something you can entirely overcome, but it is something you can control by opening up about how you feel and understanding yourself through others.
