I used to think my constant overthinking, racing heart, and nagging fears were just quirks or a sign of being a 'worrier.' I never thought they could be symptoms of anxiety. Seeing Riley go through similar things and realizing, 'Wow, that's me,' was a huge moment. The movie did a great job of showing how anxiety isn't just 'in your head'—it's a real thing that can affect you physically and emotionally.
What hit me the most was how the film made it clear that ignoring these feelings isn't the answer. Instead, it's okay to seek help and talk about it. This message pushed me to finally take that step and seek for theraphy session. And honestly, it was such a relief. It felt good to know that I'm not alone and that there are ways to manage these feelings. Big shoutout to Pixar for making such a powerful movie that encourages people to get the support they need. It's been a game-changer for me!
