b: little dog
What:
"Rather than fighting so hard to overcome anxiety, be willing to experience it - yes, willing! If it helps, imagine that anxiety is like a little dog that follows you around. Perhaps you cannot get rid of the dog, but do you have to look at the dog all the time? Will the dog stop you from shopping, going to a job interview, or giving a speech? Not at all - unless you refuse to do these things until the dog disappears. "

The Black Beast
a: Anxiety disorder ~
b: a beast that can swallow you
What: "It's often easier to have insight into someone else's situation rather than your own. If a mood or anxiety disorder is like a beast that can swallow you, then it makes sense that you can't see clearly from inside its belly. While it's helpful to have members of a group who can see your beast from the outside, there's also a real advantage to discovering that you can offer the same support to someone else"

In the midst of the anxiety you feel like all your flaws are exposed for the world to see."
