I picture my anxious self as myself at around six years old.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Peace, Biscuit, and comfort to his humans.
Congrats, flea, and salute to your reflexes, Matt.
Sympathies on the illness, msbelle and mac, and oh yes, exec dysfunction, so familiar, so much fun.
Have a good trip anyway, Zen.
Yeah the loud drumming is actually mate-calling. "Bachelor, here! Reeeeeaally good bachelor here, all you hot woodpecker chicks, come check out *this* drumming action!"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Liese.
Congrats, flea.

I am so sorry about Seabiscuit, Liese.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got my mammogram. That was a super quick appointment, and not too uncomfortable, as these things go. 4 stars.

Thrive to spite them
Sometimes I imagine my anxieties as imps. At first it was seeing them dancing around taunting me
Then it evolved to giving them names and personalities. Like Squidge the "penny is going to die and is sick" anxiety in. Or the left turn one who likes blue and dragons. I've visualized either hugging them or sometimes bribing them. And talking. Like...penny is fine so what is this really about..stuff like that.
My therapist talks in terms of the internal parent, child and adult. And I talk to them and work out some understanding. I mean it's so just me but it's what helps, you know?

(I also tell it "I gotchu, baby girl," but that's optional.)
I love this imagery, including your talking to your anxiety.

Hmmm, I like this too.
I got to the gym today for the first time in almost a month. I didn't realize it had been that long. I walked a mile and did a 30 minute weight circuit. Driving over I had aspirations of walking 2 miles, but I'm ok with keeping it simple and working back up to that.

Because books.
That's such a brilliant idea, treating your anxiety like a creature that's acting up, or acting out. I love this. I am going to name mine Mildred (for my maternal grandmother), who was the source of much anxiety for everyone in my family. (Bless her heart.)
Did delicious finally up and die for good? I still have recipes bookmarked there! (Not to mention reams of fic, but whatever.) And now I can't find this easy citrus pasta recipe that I wanted to make tomorrow. Frabbish.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Now over 2 hours since flight was supposed to depart. We had to switch planes and i left my Kindle on the original plane. Fuck.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Got a scorching look from a preteen when the alley cats she wants to pet (they're having none of her) came running across the parking lot to me the instant I opened my car door. What can I say, I've found that giving them food and not lunging at them while emitting high-pitched shrieks works wonders.
