The thing with anxiety.
Anxiety is one of those things.
If I ignore it, it gets louder and louder.
She wants to warn me about things that could happen, that’s her job.
I try to get into the habit of noticing her and calming her down.
I say yes, I heard you. I’ve got this in mind, I’ll take care of it.
Don’t worry. We won’t end up under the bridge.
Everything is going to be fine. Stop worrying.
I’ll take care of it.
Then my anxiety will lessen and she will sit quietly on my lap and feel safe.
