I Am Psyduck (Anxiety is Ridiculous)

In the animated show Pokemon Concierge, Psyduck causes surrounding objects to levitate when experiencing anxiety. It’s a recurring gag in the show; Psyduck gets stressed about something, and various pots and pans, coconuts, and other items start to hover, inevitably crashing down and wreaking havoc.

Well, Kia recently realized that I’m Psyduck. I start to get stressed about some little thing (a late package, a missing spoon, a scheduling issue) and my anxiety begins to spiral. I become irritable and unreasonable. If I were in the least bit telekinetic, surrounding objects would definitely start to hover.

But it’s good to realize that I’m Psyduck. Yes, I’m sensitive and prone to disproportional bouts of anxiety. But, also like Psyduck, I can use various methods to calm myself. I can remember to take five milligrams of lithium orotate. I can chill the fuck out, and laugh about it.

Which Pokemon are you, psycho-emotionally?

    I aspire to be Snorlax and sleep through all problems. Though I’m also probably Psyduck.
