Anxious Animals

Anxiety can take a perfectly lovely, intelligent, capable person and turn him or her into a fearful mess. 

Dr. Jennifer Hartman, a clinical psychologist describes anxiety as a pushy, self-important, exaggerating, pain-in-the-patootie. 

And I'm sure animals can be just as anxious as humans are! I also know we can relate to the cartoons below that were published on Instagram.

The artist, named Amee Wilson, told Bored Panda: “I was stuck in lockdown in Australia and feeling pretty anxious (like the rest of the country). And so I started drawing how I was feeling but spoken by animals. It kinda made the feelings feel a bit less dark! And people just started responding really positively so I just kept making them. I think everyone is just feeling all the same things, but they're hard to talk about!” 

That is so true. At least for me anyway.
