11 Things My Anxiety Would Say If It Could Talk

LifeHack

Yes, I have anxiety and yes, I live with it every day. I feel like there is a stigma around anxiety that I just need to learn to chill out, but anyone with anxiety knows that it is never that simple. Anxiety is just a part of me, and I could either sit around and feel sorry about myself, or I could learn how to cope with it and help to inform other people about the truth of what anxiety does in my mind. And if anxiety could talk, here are a few things my anxiety would be saying to me.

1. I know it's 3 a.m., but remember Global Warming? Yeah, let's talk about that.

2. Mom isn't returning your calls? Obviously the worst possible scenario is the only logical conclusion.

3. Big test today? Too bad everything you've ever learned is completely gone from your memory.

4. I know people are saying that you're being irrational, but I just thought of 15 more reasons why you should keep freaking out.

5. So I know that murder movie was complete fiction, but obviously that is going to happen to you tonight while you're sleeping.

6. Lets not only feel anxiety about life, but also lets feel anxiety about our possible anxiety attacks.

7. What?! The teacher said your presentation was just OKAY?! I hope you've been practicing your burger flipping skills.

8. Home alone on a Friday night: Wow you have no friends this is pathetic. Goes out Saturday night: TOO MANY PEOPLE LETS GO HOME AND HIDE UNDER OUR BED.

9. Feel that headache? Yeah, lets read about every illness that WebMD has ever documented.

10. Your friend just cancelled your plans for tonight? Obviously its because she hates you.

11. I know nothing actually happened, but I really think crying is the only logical option right now.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
