Joined Today!

Hello everyone,

I joined this forum today because I'm really hoping to gain further insight. Basically, I'm at university studying Graphic Design and I'm in the middle of a project about anxiety. I chose to focus on this illness because I want to use my skill set to illustrate and discuss advice for people with anxiety (perhaps in the form of a booklet, zine, pocketbook - not sure which yet).

I want my work to contain advice FROM anxiety sufferers, TO anxiety sufferers. What works for you might work for someone else. I genuinely feel that not enough is being said for young people / young adults and that schools aren't speaking to people about mental illness. I intend to address people who have anxiety and to offer a sense of comfort in knowing that they're not alone and that there are things they can do.

I'm not here to publish anything without permission and I certainly don't want to take advantage of anyone else's problems. I would properly credit anyone (or keep you anon if you wished) who feels they want to contribute any advice and would also write a little background info about the contributor with their permission (age, how long you've had anxiety, how you feel today etc).

If you wish to contribute to my project, please feel free to comment below. I look forward to hearing your stories!

Thankyou
Leanne
