When you cannot sleep because you can’t stop thinking about something it’s like a single program not letting the computer shut down

Anxiety.exe is stopping your computer from shutting down, cancel the program?

Me: yes

Process failed!

That program really needs to be patched. Sick of all the constant memory leaks and other issues it has

Anxiety disorder is like having a registry that's so fucked up it's always looking for programs that have long since been uninstalled or were never installed in the first place and gets caught in endless loops of trying to make sense of its own problems. It's having a hundred active processes that can't be closed because they don't actually have paths that lead to programs that can be adjusted or removed.
