Have You Tried, Maybe, Not Worrying?

This film, I hope, propels anyone struggling to seek support and those who are supportive figures to gain patience and endurance. [And] furthermore, open the eyes of those who are completely unaware of the debilitating journey of mental illness.

This raw story was born out of my own season of anxiety and panic disorder three years ago. I would wake in the night with panic attacks, unable to eat, unable to stomach anything when I tried, and became fearful of everything around me. I lost a large amount of weight — I thought there was a biological issue at play. I was completely unaware that I was, in fact, battling an anxiety disorder.
