Anxiety Quote by Frankie Bridge
“I spoke up about my difficulties with anxiety and depression to try to help change people's view of those problems and improve understanding. You need to be brave about doing it because you know you'll get negative stuff aimed at you by ignorant people, and I did, but it's all about toughening up and rising above that. It was worth it.”

![“The thing about those conditions [anxiety and depression] that sucks the worst is that you don't address the root cause, so you never see it coming. What's worse is when you don't even KNOW what the root cause is, you can never fix the problem. So that's what's really scary.” quote by Matty Mullins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/409/matty-mullins-48676_addresses_the-thing-about-those-conditions-anxiety_846836.jpg)
