Apologies for the terrible image quality – I’m lacking scanner access at the minute so I had to take these photos on my phone

I was reading hyperbole and a half’s blog entry explaining their experience of depression and decided to make another sketchy comic based on my experiences with anxiety, which is another mental illness I think people tend to misunderstand quite frequently

Hopefully this will be of use to some people – whether they suffer from anxiety themselves or if they just want to know more about it

Man this is very relevant to how I was the beginning of my fall semester. I didn’t know I had an anxiety disorder and didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Why I couldn’t let things go and why even the smallest things cause me to worry. My mother at first thought I was being ridiculous and was tired of my calling her in a panic. It was only when I BEGGED her to take to to the doctor and they tested me, only to find I had RIDICULOUSLY high anxiety, that she realized that I did need help. Now with the help of some medication and hopefully some future consoling I’m much better. Anxiety is awful and your own worst enemy is yourself.

Ugh. I know I have anxiety symptoms. And probably always have. 

but I really, really don’t want to take meds.
