That means I'm a free-range worrier, like an organic chicken. (2) I feel hot and sick, but no one seems to notice. That's the thing about anxiety. It happens in the head, and no one sees it. (9) I know I exasperate people. I only wish they knew how much I frustrate myself. It's not like I want to be the way I am... (21) The way adults can be so utterly clueless about what it's like to be a kid is baffling. (54) Of all the ways my anxiety hurts me, the loneliness might be the most painful. (96) It's not easy to share my worries, even with Mom. No one sees the world the way I do, and people always dismiss my concerns in an attempt to make me feel better. It doesn't work. It just makes it hard for me to be honest. (125) Mr. J [school therapist] is one of the only people who asks me questions about how I'm feeling. Most other people like to tell me how I'm feeling or fix what I'm feeling. (134) "This is life, Marvel. Not everything has to be perfect all the time and neither do you."
