Time Travelling Pizza - Episode 5 - Future Uncertainty (AnxietyCanada.com)
Chris Crust loves skateboarding and hanging out with friends! But sometimes his anxiety gets the best of him. Luckily, future Chris has learned how to time travel and comes back to assure himself that it's going to be okay and he isn't alone.

In this episode, Chris Crust is worried about the future (and the present) as he scrolls through his phone. Will things ever get better? Chris's future self shows up to comfort him, but his answers aren't that simple: things will get better, but sometimes they'll get worse, too. There will be bad times and GREAT times, but dwelling on what may go wrong won't change the future; it will just make you feel bad no matter what ends up happening!
If you feel uncertain about the future, you are not alone in your struggle. Remember that it’s normal to feel the impact of anxiety and uncertainty, especially as the world around us changes. Even if you can’t talk to yourself from the future, you can still find someone to discuss your feelings with. A friend, parent, or trusted teacher can help you recognize and cope with your fears and anxieties.
Share this video series with other people you know and see if any of them feel the same way. It’s a fun way to share your feelings and maybe help your friends as well! Remember, it’s okay to talk about how you feel.
► Do you feel you worry about the world around you and what the future may look like?
► Can you think of anyone else who may feel the same way you do?
► What do you think ‘future you’ would say, if they could time travel?
► Who is someone you trust that you could talk about your feelings?
