Our mission is to spread the word about mental health and expressing yourself through our products.  In the same way we educate communities about physical health concerns such as heart disease, it’s critical that we start conversations about what mental illness is, how to recognize it and the fact that it is a treatable illness.

Just like any other person with a mental illness, people with anxiety suffer not only from it but also, from the stigma that is raised around. If people do not know what anxiety does to a person’s mind and how these people suffer from it in their everyday life, then they will not try to help. They will only judge them from the outside. Never knowing how it actually feels to be in their shoes. Many of them will say that they are overreacting when addressing the issue.

Our mind might, sometimes, take control over us and our thoughts, therefore intervening with our lives in a bad way. Anxiety can do harm in someone’s life just as much as any physical illness can. Maybe it affects in different ways, however, it is not right for people to see those, who suffer from anxiety, as their illnesses and judge them for it as if it was their fault; as if they did that to themselves on purpose.
