I have Anxiety. I have been struggling with it more recently for nearly 3 years now. In an effort to help explain my Anxiety to both family and friends, and to help wrap my mind around the source of my struggle, I filmed this video with my good friend to open up the conversation.
Anxiety and depression are very real conditions. They are happening every day. But we are not talking about it enough and we need to start..
I filmed this video back in August of 2016, and it has taken me almost 7 months to post this. For a long time I was held back by fear. The fear of my honesty, my vulnerability, and my truth. The fear of the stigma of others, of their embarrassment, and their disapproving looks. I feared what could come tomorrow, next month, and next year.
I still have this fear even now. But I am trying to work through this because this isn’t something that is just going to go away because I want it to. It's something I live with and it's something I live in.
So here it is. This is my story.
