Mentopolis OC! Meet Catastra O’Fize. Cat for short. She is a secretary for the Mentopolis PD, and has been trying to work her way up to be a detective, but she is always shut down. She is known for blowing things out of proportion, and falling apart at…well just about anything. She is great at strategizing and planning for every possible scenario. Her general vibe gives everyone a sense of unease and stress. She tries to manage her thoughts with tea and always has a bag handy to hyperventilate into.

To catastrophize is to imagine the worst possible outcome of an action or event, and it’s something we have all done..We have something happen to us or to those around us and we automatically think the worst. It can start out as a worry, and slowly but surely we have considered every possible way something could go wrong.. Or have already decided that everything is going to go wrong. It can change our mood, affect our ability to think clearly, and even hurt our relationships. Many psychologists and other researchers believe that catastrophizing is born out of anxiety. Anxiety is diagnosed when we have a lot of worry and no matter what we do we aren’t able to control it.

Let me see the world through the kindness of my dad’s eyes, and every photograph be taken from my bad side, so when the world sees my face they’ll never ask why I look the way I do 🌈

Speaking of California...I have started packing up my things and having some stuff sent in storage. I just. I am moving across the country in about a month. It's exciting. But also terrifying????? Compared to the cost of living where I am right now, the Bay Area...will be quite a shock. And I say this as someone who lived in a still relatively expensive city (Chicago) before moving to the corn.
