  • You know what's silly?

  • Breaking news. Indoor cat has apparently never been fed in his entire life.

  • We have our reporter, Kitty Cat Rick, on the scene now.

  • So you say that you haven't been fed in your entire life, is that true?

  • Fish.

  • Breaking news. Sources close to the source back up the claims and say that they too have never been fed in their entire lives.

  • What cruelty is possibly going on right now?

  • Breaking news. Turns out that the indoor cat and the sources may have actually been fed as recently as today.

  • An internal investigation has been opened.

  • Breaking news. The case of the unfed cats has been closed.

  • The cats have been arrested on fraudulent claims of never being fed.

  • Their mother is devastated.

  • I just don't know why they would say that.

  • You know. I feed them twice a day.

  • Four of them are on medication that I have to administer every 12 hours.

  • Jimmy just had a brain tumor, had to go through radiology and got this really cute certificate.

  • Maybe we're gonna put on data that said he graduated. It was really adorable.

  • And there you have it.

  • A Mother's milk is never done.

  • In other news, a catnip bust is underway as authorities close in on one of the biggest kitten kaboodle we have seen in quite some time.

  • Yes, that is very silly, and I don't regret it at all.

  • What's also silly is anxiety, which is beautifully defined as intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations.

  • I've talked a lot about anxiety, depression, panic attacks and the list of mental health issues that a lot of us deal with on a daily basis.

  • And, of course, I'm very open about going to therapy and therapy advocacy because, yo! if you go to the gym, you should also go to the Jim.

  • Hello, I'm Jim.

  • Take a seat and let's work out your feelings.

  • And one tool that I've learned in therapy that has been very helpful and interrupting anxious thinking is to turn around every question your anxiety poses.

  • So, for instance, when your anxiety says...

  • Everything is gonna fall apart!

  • You ask...

  • What if things work out?

  • And when your anxiety insists...

  • There is no point in trying because you are gonna fail at this.

  • You ask...

  • What if all my hard work pays off?

  • And on and on.

  • Our default is to really dwell on the potential of bad outcomes.

  • It's like biological, right?

  • We have this negativity bias.

  • We wanna be prepared so we can survive, and you don't want to necessarily avoid your anxiety.

  • But you also don't want to indulge in it.

  • So this pattern of posing and opposing question to your anxiety will force you to consider both extreme outcomes.

  • And the idea was that eventually you sort of rationalize and realize that your reality is gonna straddle somewhere in the middle.

  • I hope this help!
