Anxiety Chronometer Short Story

Hey there!

To those who follow me, I’m still here lol. I decided to switch up my post to have a bit more design to them. I started doing this on my other social account and I think this will be great practice for me in the long run.

That being said, this is the name of my next practice story as an aspiring writer. Anxiety Chronometer is a story where we’ll follow a middle aged man trying his best to finish his work while problematic fairies do their absolute best to keep him 🌸busy🌸.

Be sure to follow if you want a little fantasy story in your feed from time to time!

This image defines anxiety as a built-in alarm system that becomes problematic when constantly active, leading to the brain scanning for threats and the body feeling tense and tired.

This image explains that anxiety is rarely one's fault, stemming from a mix of biological factors, life experiences like trauma and stress, habits such as poor sleep, and learned responses from past hurts.

This image illustrates types of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Specific Phobias, with a visual metaphor of a person being overwhelmed by reaching hands.
