The most important thing to remember with dealing with anxiety is to remember that you are the only one that has it and everyone is judging you and thinking terrible things about you.

My teacher let me have a rocking chair in class, because it helps me get over my anxiety... It really helps! Some people think I'm just playing cards when I say I need the chair for "anxiety" but I'm not. I'm being completely honest. My friend who sits at the table with me, will get to class before me, and switch my chair, (which is pretty much the average plastic school chair but with the legs attached so I can rock) and switch the chairs. She says "oh I wanted a turn with it" and my other friend told me she was talking to her about it and said "she says she needs it for her *makes finger quotes* anxiety, but I want a turn. It's annoying, because she just wants the chair for fun, when I need it to actually focus on my school work...I've given her small hints about it, like she tried to make a schedule for it (ugh) and I said "why? You know i need it for anxiety, right?" So on so on. I know I may seem childish butting heads over some chair, but the fact is, it's hard for me to focus

Indeed, it made me think of just how pointless my worrying can be sometimes and how I beat myself up over things. I laughed pretty hard.

It's a joke...but it almost isn't. It's actually a pretty neat idea (if not taken to their comedic extremes, of course!) That's part of what makes The Onion so brilliant: that everything they do has a nugget of truth embedded in it that gives it plausibility and makes it relatable. It's like looking at a mirror-version of the real world where everything is basically the same, but hilariously exaggerated and twisted. Always a poignant commentary on our equally insane real world!

Why would you do this to me

@SootyPhoenix 4 ай бұрын

Based. I thought about it until I realized life is a completely unwinnable game by nature, and no amount of anxiety can change that.

Yes of course, if everything is anxiety then nothing is.
