'What we're hoping to do is draw attention to the work that we do, as well as the fact that one in four Manitobans will manage an anxiety (disorder) in their lifetime.'
This Action Anxiety Day , one advocate is reminding people managing an anxiety disorder that they are not alone with a blue and orange rally.“What we’re hoping to do is draw attention to the work that we do, as well as the fact that one in four Manitobans will manage an anxiety in their lifetime, so people aren’t alone.”“It doesn’t matter who you are, that anxiety disorder figure hits home. It’s your neighbour. It’s your sibling. It’s the love of your life,” he said.
“Give people something tangible to hang their hat on. So write them a note,” he said, “Buy them a chocolate bar. Do some nice sort of tangible act. Maybe don’t do the other, which is, ‘Hey, if you need anything, give me a call.’ Then when the person does need help and call, it’s like, ‘Oh, hey, sorry, kids have soccer.'”“This is something really painful. People are looking within themselves, which is why this is such a difficult conversation.
