This is my anxiety awareness film

This is my anxiety awareness film.

I used to suffer from an anxiety disorder for a large portion of high school, and this film is a personal account of my road to mental health. I have made this film in hope that it helps to guide others who are still suffering from anxiety, encouraging them to seek help. I hope that perhaps it can also help people to identify feelings of anxiety that they do not know are even there. So here is my Year 12 film project, which is designed and formatted as a web advertisement to be played before YouTube/ web portal videos (theoretically). I hope you enjoy it. 

If you have any questions about my experiences with anxiety, don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad to answer and help in whatever way I can. Stay safe.

Thank you for sharing.

i MYSLEF have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and I found this film helpful, as I have only been offered "meds"at them moment, I have health anxiety so I find posting on here and reading replies from people with the type of anxiety are very helpful buy I do know that if it does get out of hand I know there is help out there for me.

Hey Maccamuffin, 

thank you for sharing your film, you truly are an inspiration to people and you should be so proud of yourself for being able to tell & show your personal story.    Like yourself, I suffered with anxiety all through school & at age 16, I was sitting in a psychiatrist's chair, due to bullying in my early years at primary school. I am 55 now, still suffer anxiety but in a different form.    Watching this film has made me feel better somehow & hope that it helps all others in some way. Well done & keep up your good work.
