Yesterday night I finally resolved to face my problem. Something is stressing is me out and giving me anxiety, and it has overstayed its welcome. So what does this mean for the next few months? I really don't know, and I'm really worried.
Being sick is annoying enough, I don't want to be sick a bajillion miles away from home and my favorite tea and stuffed animals. Eating is difficult enough. It will be more so where the food is unfamiliar. I anticipate there being plenty of new stressors in Guatemala and Nicaragua; how will my body self-destruct in response to them? I don't imagine I'll get a break from the stress I already have.
And how do I face this? I don't know that, either. It's not like I can punch Mr. Anxiety in the face, and even if I could, I'm a small person and probably wouldn't hit very hard.
Meh, I'd say you can take him. Let's take the time to remember:
ReplyDeleteHe -must- be small. He lives -in- your ear. He'd -have- to.
It would be nice if you could just remove him...
take him down...
show him who was boss...
in the very least charge him rent.
And utilities!
Truth is...
Mr. Anxiety is one of -those- things...
The more you give him attention, the more he wants.
The more you think about him, the more he gets to you.
Truth is...
Got to ignore that good-for-nothing; he doesn't pay rent, isn't very nice, is -actually- mean, scary, and is a pain in the butt.
-All very good reasons to just ignore Mr. Anxiety.-
It'll all be okay.
Because: I said so.
Emma, that must be you ;)
DeleteActually, (I know, right, it's taken this long?)
