(Warning: this post discusses Anxiety (which you probably figured out) and Depression)

Likewise, worrying about a friend who’s been going through a tough time, or feeling anxious before you give a speech, is totally understandable.

Anxiety blows the normal sh** out of proportion, while adding some completely illogical sh** t’boot.

I worry about where the toilets are in restaurants, even when I don’t need the loo, because What If I end up needing to go?

The logical answer: if I need to go, then I’ll either find the loos or ask someone where they are.

I actually don’t care where the loos are right now. Why am I worrying about it?

I worry about finding my seat in a crowded room…
