Give your obsessive scary thoughts a name!!!
This has been so helpful keeping the humor in an otherwise scary situation! I was at a BBQ yesterday, and I started feeling anxious, and I turned to my husband and said "Albie is trying to come out and play again" and I thought he was going to fall out of his chair laughing. Of course it made me laugh, and I don't think Albie likes being laughed at. He took his ball and went home.

I think I will name my panic attacks I'm gonna die..Now, shut up I'm gonna die, stop telling me I'm gonna die all the time. I took a vitamin, so stop telling me I'm gonna die. My heart is racing, stop telling me I'm gonna die. I have a pain in my arm, or leg, stop telling me I'm gonna die. I gotta get on meds, stop telling me i'm going to have an allergic reaction, stop telling me I'm going to swell up and die.

This is such a fantastic idea, it has my smiling already. Olga and Polly are my new best friends. I mean my new bullies that I'm going to stand up to! Using "Olga's at it again" or "Olga can you please go home" is going to be a great help.

AWESOME IDEA!!!!! I am going to try this!!!! I think it'll work. I'll name my obsessive thoughts Oscar. After Oscar Meyer hotdogs. "Go away, Oscar! You're just a wiener!" Thanks for the idea! It really helps! I'm smiling now.

"Olga Credenza Davenport" "Olga Cutterputty Doffenblinger"
How about her friend panic attacks or also known as "Priscilla Achoomundo"

This is fun. I love your idea of the silly names. You all should come up with some more
