What Do You Do With a Problem?

Not what I was expecting. I thought this would be about problem solving, aka perseverance, persistence, grit, etc, MATH. But it's not. It should really be called “What Do You Do With an ANXIETY DISORDER, MOM”. Oh, honey, boy, do I have lots to say about that. But yes, as the book says, bottom line is you do exposure therapy because otherwise that gorgeous dark watercolor cloud of worry will fuck your shit up, aka you will live in a brush-stroke hurricane of shitty thoughts, honey, so just try to face it asap, okay I love you, good night.

In other words, what a bummer. I felt sad to be teaching anxiety management now, tonight, at this age. But, sigh, fine ok.
