That evening, I picked up my phone and started explaining everything to the camera. It was really lo-fi and off-the-cuff. I talked about how I was feeling, why I was anxious, what anxiety is actually like and how I’d become isolated because of it. By recording it I felt like I was sharing it with ‘someone’ and that helped me through the hours alone. By the time my parents returned I had about six videos, which, with the help of my (now ex-) boyfriend I edited together into my first vlog.
