Anxiety Quote by Olly Alexander
“With anxiety and depression, what's been most helpful to me has been learning a toolbox - a set of skills I can use when I'm in periods of low mood or feel an anxiety attack coming on. When Years & Years took off it felt like I needed that toolbox really quickly.”

![“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)
