Hi. It’s me — Xiety.

I know, I know. You didn’t exactly invite me, but here I am anyway.

I live in your brain rent-free.

I show up when things feel uncertain, overwhelming, or like there’s even a small chance of disaster.

(Which, let’s be honest, could be anything, right?)

My job is to keep you alert, safe, and constantly scanning for danger.

Sometimes that means helpful things like “Don’t forget your keys!”

Other times it means screaming “YOU’RE A FAILURE” because someone took too long to reply to a text.

Yeah… not my best moments.

But here’s the thing — I’m not trying to ruin your life.

I just get a little loud sometimes.

And I forget that you're stronger than I give you credit for.

You don’t have to get rid of me.

(Trust me, I’m really persistent.)

But you can learn to live with me,

set boundaries,

and remind me that you are the one making the decisions.
