Dealing with chronic anxiety has taught me to better understand the nuances of mental illness and the very individual nature of it.

Anxiety is a natural thing humans have. You know, that's how we evolve. That's how we are, you know, we think things through. Sometimes my mind just thinks things through a lot.

Anxiety is part of creativity, the need to get something out, the need to be rid of something or to get in touch with something within.

Anxiety is not fear, exactly, because fear is focused on something right in front of you - a real and objective danger.

Once you know the emotional building blocks of anxiety, you can influence them.

Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this.

I wanted to put a human face on anxiety disorders. I thought people who suffer from anxiety might recognize themselves and gain some comfort from my story and for those who don't suffer from anxiety disorders gain some understanding.

I know just how isolating it can feel to experience severe anxiety.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

Concentration is a fine antidote to anxiety.
