Anxiety is ubiquitous in our modern age, and it's common to hear people refer to "my anxiety" as if their mental health were a pet. This book acknowledges the common feeling that we have to take care of our anxiety much as we would a naughty puppy: chasing it when it runs off, cleaning up after it when it makes a mess, and trying to train it to sleep in its crate. This charming little book lets people with anxiety know that they're not alone, and ends with uplifting encouragement for good days and bad.
