Personal Connection
I would like to share with you that I have anxiety, which is a major reason why I chose to do this project to raise awareness. My anxiety has been there for most of my life and I did not know about it and didn’t deal with it. However, about a year ago, I became aware of it. Thus, I started to go to a therapist and it truly helped make a difference. I’m not saying that I don’t have anxiety attacks anymore, because believe me I do. I am saying that now I am able to use the methods of coping to help me lessen the amount of anxiety that I have.
This is an artwork that I drew, to depict the meaning behind my project. The ribbon is a symbol of raising awareness for those with anxiety. The butterfly is a symbol of freedom, and it resembles those who suffer from anxiety. The butterfly explains that even though anxiety may be a part of our lives (the flower), we can be stronger and bigger than the flower and overcome all our fears and worries, with just a little bit of help.
