“I started to feel nervous to go into school. Walking down the corridors or sitting in the canteen area would make me feel anxious…my heart was racing, just going really fast. I guess the thoughts were telling me to get out of that situation…that I was in danger. Even though I wasn’t in danger, at the time it was very real.”

Gwen’s story about her experience of anxiety is just one audio clip from The Light Inside, a powerful short film about living with mental illness. Head to www.bathmind.org.uk/resources/wellbeing-activities/the-light-inside/ to hear Gwen and many other mental health stories in full.
