I do believe she has anxiety, but not in the way most other people experience it. I'll try my best to explain my theory (only had 1 coffee so far, so brain not fully engaged yet
)
She gets anxious in one sense because she has never had to do anything by herself before. She's never lived by herself, traveled by herself or looked after her kids alone. I'm sure there is a million other things she's never done without Fiddles or Jim by her side. It's self perpetuating because everyone enables her, I imagine she throws a tantrum "but Jaymeee I'm scaaaaaared, there might be trolllllls there" so he just goes along with her. Or Fiddles tells her there will be trolls there so she needs to go along? (Qui,
@fannysjohnny ?) She's always been treated like a lanky woman child so she still behaves like one and blames being scared for being unable to do stuff.
Secondly, I think it's a control thing. She gets scared about new places/live appearances because she can't control how she will look or come across at them. She knows she doesn't look like the person she filters herself to be on Insta. She knows she can't gush and fawn over her sheep in real life like she does via message to them. She knows she hates spending time with her kids so wouldn't want people to see her in the wild getting angry with them or ignoring them. She knows she's terrible on live TV because she blurts out nonsense and is really thick and talking about how she wipes down surfaces or shops for tat 3 x a week isn't actually interesting as an interview subject. She knows she's a fraud with no talent or anything to say. So she calls this reluctance to do anything anxiety and just glosses over it all.
Does this make sense?
Big love to the nusties who have shared their own experiences with anxiety, gentle hugs to you all.
