Anxiety
“Anxiety's trick is to talk you into giving it authority it doesn't have. It might say, 'You can't do this,' but anxiety is not the boss of you. You can do whatever you need or want to do, even when anxiety is present. You might feel uncomfortable, but you can still take action.” - Vironika Tugaleva, Canadian author, from her book "The Art of Talking to Yourself" (2017)
