Right-o I've been on and off working on my pet Killjoy for a while now, but I'd love for some help and input from you wonderful pet people c: They're based off the feeling of anxiety, and as someone who greatly struggles with that myself, it's a topic that does hit a bit close to home. I'm looking for items that you could/would relate to anxiety. Which is a bit of a difficult concept to put across in a list of items, but so far I've been thinking of including phones, which would hit social anxiety and the pressure to be in the loop and constantly communicating with everyone, and I did mull around including scissors to represent feeling on edge all the time, however I do not want to accidentally convey self harm with those x.x; I'd prefer items that there are a lot of (at least 5 or 6), to signify overthinking the problem.

I also understand that this is something that would have a lot of personal input so out of respect for people's personal experiences with anxiety and things that cause it, I'd also like to list everyone as contributors to this little project, if you would like!

Probably not much help but comes to mind, heh.

Sorry, I'm sure I meant to reply to this yesterday! And on the contrary! I quite like it actually, awesome suggestion thank you c:

Are you still looking for suggestions? A few ideas came to mind:

• A plushie, or a comfort blanket of some sort? Something to hold on to.
• Lucky amulets, dreamcatchers etc. to protect from harm.
• A lock, or a locked box, to symbolize the feelings hidden within. (+ Throw in a key for a more positive note?)
• A clock or an hourglass, to remind of the passing of time.
• Something overly neat or organized, a little something that is 100% under your control. (To counter the feeling of powerlessness in daily life)
• How-to books, for self-help and practise.
• Mirror. (Extremely self-conscious of appearance, actions)
• Mask/heavy makeup, baggy clothes to hide behind. Something to hint at a fake personality, even?

Yesss thank you so much for all of these! I especially like the comfort blanket, locks/locked box, how-to books and mirrors. Seriously cool c:

I went the other way, what items a pet would need if they were anxious instead of items that...evoke anxousness, I guess?

This just looks like bottled anxiety to me.

I would be 100% more anxious without my sound canceling headphones as I'm super noise-sensitive. Just being able to close out too much sensory input helps immensely.

It's a CW and I have no idea if this is public or not but man, I wish I had this. c:

Meditation's supposed to help a lot with anxiety: This may not be great for a TC since the only hint is the name, but...yeah.

If not those, then maybe anything Anxe themed:

Ohhhh awesome suggestions! Especially the tea. I always have tea when I need to calm down. It's warm and comforting -w- And the meditation theme!

That CW is really nice! But I don't have the kind of monies to put CWs in TCs. I mean, if I had the monies I'd go mental with it and have TCs full of unique stuff drawn just for my pets w (terribly silly use of CWs but ehhh that's what would make me happy)

Also:

• Pills/anxiety medication of some sort.

I'm glad to hear you've already found some suitable ideas. :3 Best of luck with your project, your pet profiles look awesome!
