It can be difficult to explain to others how youโ€™re feeling โ€“ which is why anyone who lives with anxiety will love illustrator Pranita Kocharekarโ€™s new series, Is That You.

The series aims to raise awareness and understanding of anxiety โ€“ and her images perfectly encapsulate the everyday struggles that anxious people grapple with.

โ€œAfter speaking to a few friends, I realised that there are many people who suffer from minor and major anxiety,โ€ Kocharekar told Mashable. โ€œI also realised that there are simple solutions to minor anxiety such as acknowledging it, meditation and breathing techniques.

โ€œI knew that stating these facts will not be enough. So I began gathering details of incidents that my friends and I acknowledged and illustrated them.โ€
