Anxiety
September 28, 2022
YEP! This is what my anxiety looks like! SHREDDING STUFF UP! When I am left alone or my humans are busy, I am anxious that I have been forgotten so I tear up paper. Luckily, I don’t tear furniture 
The humans around me sometimes raise their voices when they are frustrated. Like when I decide to do what they call “running away”. That is how I deal with anxiety sometimes – I run! Instead of shredding or running away, I find it best to lay in my bed and close my eyes. My humans play quiet music sometimes too.
