It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.” -Anais Nin
 
This quote reminded me of of the character Aza because she suffers from anxiety. This quote talks about what it feels like to have these internal battles, such as anxiety,  just like it does in the book. ]]> 2018-08-24 00:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275032276 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275033613 This video really goes in depth about anxiety and how to deal with it. I feel that this relates to the book because it not only would help Aza in her life but it also teaches what anxiety is like to live with just like the book does. ]]> 2018-08-24 00:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275033613 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275246776 “And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?” -Rumi

This quote reminded me of the book because in the story Aza is trying to find herself, and who she wants to be. She digs deeper into her anxiety and struggles to open up to people about the real Aza. ]]> 2018-08-24 19:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275246776 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275375415 This article provides 20 tweets that show what living with anxiety really feels like. Thought the entire story the author gives you not only Aza's story but what is going on in her mind, which gives you insight to what living with anxiety would be like. Just like these tweets. ]]> 2018-08-26 15:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275375415 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275376350 In the book Aza finds herself seconded guessing in situations in fear of the worst possible outcome coming true. This picture accurately captures the way these actions look to the outside world. ]]> 2018-08-26 15:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275376350 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275376801 "I had people saying 'it's all in your head'. Do you honestly think I want to feel this way?" -Sonia Estrada 

This quote sounds like something Aza would definitely say because in the story she gets in an argument with her best friend Daisy about why she is acting so self-centered and distant (this is because of her anxiety). ]]> 2018-08-26 15:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275376801 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275377950 This book is about a teenage girl struggling to balance her life and her physiological problems. This book is very similar to Turtles All the Way Down in the plot, theme and characters. ]]> 2018-08-26 16:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275377950 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378445 This article goes through the process of how evolution evolved and by viewing this process how you can help free yourself from anxiety. I believe that this would have helped aid Aza in her recovery so she would not have had to suffer for so long like she did in the book. ]]> 2018-08-26 16:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378445 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378666 This image accurately shows what a person, such as Aza, brain looks like because it is constantly battling itself and having crazy thoughts so it is tired, confused and weak. ]]> 2018-08-26 16:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378666 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378908 "Don't believe every worried thought you have. Worried thoughts are notoriously inaccurate." -Renee Jain

Aza worries a lot and this quote would have been very helpful for Aza because it shows how not all of the thoughts we have, especially worried ones, are accurate.]]> 2018-08-26 16:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275378908 ainsley_hale05 https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275379228 The book Turtles All the Way Down, by John Green expresses the idea that teenage anxiety is a big problem by writing a story that reflects the real life of a teenager living with anxiety. He does this by giving an in-depth look into what having anxiety is like and how peoples lives are affected. John Green himself suffers from anxiety and depression so this book is like an autobiography that is meant to help others realize they are not alone. These quotes show how John Green used his writing to show us as readers what it is like.

"I was thinking about how part of your self can be in a place while at the same time the most important parts are in a different place, a place that can't be accessed via your senses."

"People always talk like there's a bright line between imagination and memory, but there isn't, at least not for me. I remember what I've imagined and imagine what I remember."

"The thing about a spiral is, if you follow it inward, it never actually ends. It just keeps tightening, infinitely."]]> 2018-08-26 16:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ainsley_hale05/7mb76zafedmf/wish/275379228
