In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

It can be hard to talk about an illness like anxiety disorder. You might be afraid that your family will judge you or become uncomfortable and not know how to act around you. Still, it's worth it to talk even if you're not sure how your family will react. Ask to have a talk with someone, whether it's your dad and mom, siblings, other relatives. Your family will probably have already realized that something is amiss. They may want to do something to help you, but not know exactly what is wrong. Having a serious conversation will give them a better chance to assist you. Start with asking to sit down and talk. You don't have to say anything specific at this point, but only indicate your desire for a conversation. Say, for instance, "Hi Dad, do you have some time to talk later? There's something I have to say." Or, "Mom, can we talk later today? I want to talk about something important." The right moment to break the ice could come naturally. Your parents might see you have an anxiety attack and ask you afterward, "What's going on? Is everything OK?" Use this opportunity to raise the topic. Your family may realize something is wrong, but don't assume that they do. People are often busy and caught up in their own lives. That said, it's best to bring up the subject when there is plenty of time. Choose a moment when your family is at home, relaxed, and at leisureafter work or dinner, for example. Talk when you're feeling well and ready. You also shouldn't rush an important conversation like this. Make sure that you have a good block of time (probably an hour or more) and to approach your family when they are free and won't need to rush off. Pick a quiet and private place, ideally at home, so you can speak openly and honestly without being self-conscious. If it's an emergency, however, act immediately. Say that it's urgent and you need to talk. You might find that the idea of talking about your anxiety triggers more anxiety for you. In that case, think about writing an open letter to your family members. You can include all the same information and can either read it aloud or ask them to read it privately, leaving the chance for a later face-to-face conversation. Your letter can be as short or as long as you'd like it to be. Make sure to express the main point, though, i.e. "Mom, I've been having trouble managing my stress and anxiety. Sometimes I get panic attacks." Or, "You might have noticed that I have odd routines, Dad. I keep thinking that, without them, something terrible will happen." Leave the letter where your family will find it, like on the coffee table, the kitchen table, or the mantle. Or, bring it along to the talk to read aloud. Say something like "I wrote down a few words that I'd like you to hear."
Start a conversation. Pick a good moment. Consider writing a letter.
