Detailed Description

All people experience anxiety at one time or another, to varying degrees throughout their lives. Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness and worry, usually generalised and unfocused, as a reaction to a situation. However, the perception of threat in the concerned situation is very subjective. Anxiety affects quite a few people in a way that it hinders their daily life. Due to lack of awareness, lack of communication, negligence and stigma surrounding the issue, it remains untreated and could lead to unhealthy repercussions. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, I felt a strong desire to help other people who might be going through it themselves or know someone who does. It proved to be a great learning experience as I navigated through it myself, got to know different perspectives and helped myself understand these issues better. The project, in a sense, has been a very personal journey of hope, self-awareness, and finding the confidence and comfort in being my truest self as I worked on myself and, thereby, on the project.
