A while back my shrink recommended that I give my unkind inner voice a name. So I chose Maureen. Because how funny is it to say, “SHUT UP MAUREEN” when you’re being mean to yourself?
I recently saw a video where a girl said she named her anxiety Ryan, because she wasn’t going to let a man tell her what to do. So far I have just called my anxiety Maureen, but maybe I need to separate them. What’s a good name to call my anxiety?
Choices:
- Rupert
- Gerald
- Edward
- Clyde
- Bertram
- Bernard
Maybe a one syllable name would work better…
- Fred
- Tony
- Dean
- Burt
Nothing really hits right, but I’ll figure it out.
