Third Place Photo by Caroline Franklin: Anxiety is one of the most common mental illnesses in teens today. Anxiety can be described as a dark place you go when you can’t breathe. A dark place you go with your thoughts. A place where no one can reach you and you are lost in time. Anxiety is a dimension, one you may not leave.
