Omg yes. 

“But the hidden part, the part that only comes out to those who are closest to me, is still there; ready to rear its head any moment. That side includes intense irritability, anger, frustration, nervousness, upset stomach, shaking, rapid heart rate, questioning, over-analyzing, overthinking, over-everything. It craves silence, stillness, no touching — or the exact opposite; it wants hugs and words of reassurance, both in abundance. These are the “things” that clash and collide in my head as it tries to sort out the what and the why of my own mind. “

Worst Case vs. Best Case Scenarios by Karina Farek.

This is a great joke, but it’s also a wonderful strategy for reducing anxiety that I learned about in therapy. If you’re ever nervous about something, just ask yourself: what’s the best thing that can happen? What’s the worst thing? What will most likely happen?

It does wonders for your nerves, really does.

My counsellor walks me through this all the time and it works??
