Name What You Fear

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.
