This is an image of a flowchart titled “Anxiety - Choose Your Own Adventure.” The flowchart is hand-drawn and has a yellow background. The flowchart has multiple decision points and paths, with each decision point represented by a speech bubble. The flowchart starts with a white box that has a yellow striped border and reads, “Start Here.” This is pointing to a box that says, “Uh-Oh! Anxiety Increases.” If you ignore the increase, you can choose to ignore by disassociating or neglecting it, but you’ll end up at the same point: “You’re still anxious but have secondary problems,” and you’ll be sent back to the start. If you decide to pay attention to the increased anxiety, you get to a flowchart point that says, “Good call! How?” If you choose to be mean instead of kind, you may have a shame spiral or self-contempt, making you feel worse and spending you back to the start. If you choose to be kind, you can choose to seek care and connection/movement/journaling, and it may help lead to self-care, or you can choose self-care directly. Will it be with others or solo? If solo, you can pet a dog, garden, or make art. If you do it with someone, you can talk, move together, or hug. Either way, your anxiety may improve! The flowchart is credited to @lindsaybraman.
