Chris Hughes' advice for someone suffering from anxiety

Chris Hughes offered some advice on how he deals with anxiety issues, as the face of CALM's #DontBottleItUp campaign.

The 4CAST man revealed that he manages his own anxiety, rather than having completely rid himself of it, and was asked to offer advice to anyone who may be suffering themselves.

"Speak to your family and friends. Don’t be afraid to speak up about it, it’s such a common issue now," he told CALM.

"I don’t know if that’s because more people are speaking about it now. Just share your feelings. The more people that know about it, the more you can be yourself and not put on a face wherever you go."

"I personally think it’s never a weakness to show emotion or cry."

"I think guys speak out less than girls do, they keep their emotions locked up. Guys need to stop that and speak up more about depression, anxiety and mental health. I personally think it’s never a weakness to show emotion or cry."

"It’s good to know there are people on hand at CALM who help anyone through a situations and give advice, and have someone you can speak to when you need it. That automatically makes your anxiety easier to cope with."
