Watching Inside Out 2 as someone with anxiety

I was super excited when I heard that there was going to be a second inside out movie because I knew how much the first movie brought awareness to the mental health community, and when I found out that one of the main characters that was being added was their take on anxiety, I was even more excited. I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety for over 12 years now and seeing this represented in media was very exciting! #cinemaandmentalhealth #Lemon8Diary #lemon8diarychallenge #mentalhealth #anxiety #insideout2

Anxiety masked as “overthinking”
it’s weird trying to explain this kind of anxiety because from the outside it just looks like overthinking but inside it feels like too many things stacked on top of each other like you’re replaying one small moment but somehow it pulls in five other memories and now your chest feels tight

Anxiety in Relationship
Anxiety gets louder when you carry it alone. A healthy relationship is not one where you hide what is going on inside so you do not feel like a burden. It is one where you can say, my mind is loud today, and trust that the person next to you can simply be with you in it. Not to fix you. Not

Anxiety isn’t fun…but it doesn’t get the final say
There was a time I let worry run my life. Every ‘what if’ became a weight. 🥺 But here’s what I’ve learned → prayer is powerful, and faith is greater than fear. When you build your life on faith, anxiety loses its grip. God’s peace starts to cover you, even in the storm. 🕊️ Friend, if you’ve
