Sometimes I suffer through bouts of anxiety that feel like little pangs in my heart and stomach. A thought, a phrase, or the sight of something will rub me the wrong way and a domino chain is set off in my head that flashes forward to unpleasantries in the future--things going wrong or not as I hoped. Then I get the pangs. And then I google. Sometimes, its as if google is the closest thing I have to a tangible god. When I'm deep in feeling and questions, looking for some soothing, I type my fears into my trusted google box and come up with something in the vain of answers.
Here are the results of one sporadic, anxiety-driven search:
