For those of us who do not suffer from anxiety it is often hard to understand what our friends and/or family are going through when an anxiety attack hits. Many of my family members have and anxiety and depression. It has often been described to me as a trapped feeling. They feel like they can't escape this overwhelming feeling. I darkened my photos and put them into black and white to give it more of a real sense.
