Escalator anxiety

PictureI'm going to get you.
I suffered from this. (Hey, they're dangerous.)

PictureAnxiety: See, I was right.

Yell at your anxiety

PictureKicking anxiety in the ass.
Anxiety is a voice in your head. It sends us a message that things are not right. But if you're like me, it never shuts up.

Ever.

Me: "Shut up!"
Roommate: "Who are you yelling at."
Me: "Myself. Why?"
Roommate: "I don't know.... Because it's weird that's why."
Me: "You wanna know what's weird?"
Roommate: "Please, no."
Me: "Yelling works."


Anxiety is sneaky

PictureNever say never
If you're like me, you spend an enormous amount of effort convincing the voice of impending doom that nothing is going to happen and then a guy walks up to you and says:
"Hi, I'm you're stalker."

And it was creepy enough when he did it outside your house. But, when you reaching into your closet and he hands you your favorite dress, anxiety takes over.

Is this really what I want to wear? What necklace should I wear with it? Also, what's my stalker doing in my closet?

ps. This never happened.


And that's anxiety

How about you? What's anxiety to you?
