The human mind is awesome and intriguing, is where the most incredible ideas originate, but also hurting ideas lay there. Is a fact that our mindset allows us to live freely and that it can also become a prison that doesn’t let us move forward. So, what is like to live with anxiety?
Canadian artist Catherine Lepage created an illustration book with images easily relatable to people who live with anxiety. The book “Thin slices of anxiety” shows how it feels to live with this disorder. Lepage herself is an anxious person, she has lived with this disorder her entire life, so the images and messages in the book come from a first-hand experience.
The illustrations served to its author as a meditative way to understand what it’s like to live with anxiety and to try and help others to find what to do to break free from it or at least feel better.

Sometimes struggling to get out of feels like treading water.
A decision is never just a decision for an anxious person, it comes with an infinite number of what ifs.
Everything happens on the inside.
There are always two sides to everything, but anxious people see both of them at the same time.
How it feels when anxiety strikes.
Nothing is ever clear.
It’s not something you can get your hands on.
Constant fears take the best of the person.
And then there’s a push to try getting everything you want.
One day at a time, the best way to go through is to have little slices of emotions, responsibilities, and try to go step by step.
