Inside Out 2

[Desert Flower]

So I just wanted to share how I like the movie Inside Out 2.

- big spoiler alert! -

I went to see it with both my kids seperately so I got to see it twice. I know there may be lots to say about things that don't quite fit all of us but I think it's very insightful for the general public to see how Anxiety takes over completely and tries to run the entire show and she cannot in the end. And how Envy is on Anxiety's side all the time, wanting what others have, and how Fear can relate too of course and how Anxiety is soooo good at planning for the future. And how she has a whole room of 'minions' using Riley's imagination to think up every single little or big thing that could go wrong.    And how it's impossible to stop Anxiety without a healthy sense of self. And that a healthy sense of self comes back with looking at all the ugly memories too (the stream of consciousness to the back of the mind...).    Pfiew. Very well put I think.

So I just wanted to share how I like the movie Inside Out 2.

I just watched this movie yesterday and cried so much.

My favorite part was Anxiety saying that she was trying to keep Riley safe. 

Anxiety is a lot of things that are really hard but I am in a place of appreciating how hard our brains work to keep us safe.

I know Rainy, Anxiety is trying to keep us safe. And it's really great you can appreciate that.
Me, I am still fighting Anxiety too much, wanting her to go away. And that really doesn't work. Like today/this week. Really hard to deal with or to 'just' feel it ... pfff.

Desert Flower, I appreciate that our brains work hard to keep us safe and also recognize that many of our brain's strategies create struggle and hardship. 

It is a lot to manage and it is exhausting.  I hope that you find some ease.
