My Expensive Battle with Anxiety

I am an extremely anxious person. Whenever I'm in a long Zoom call or trying to focus on writing a report, my hands simply cannot stay still. I pick at my cuticles and bite my fingernails until they bleed. To break this awful habit, I ordered tons of "aesthetic" fidget toys online. They were all a massive waste of money! Those metal sliders are ridiculously expensive, and the clicking sound they make in a quiet office is a total social nightmare. Fidget spinners? Too distracting. I hated them all.

Then, I blindly bought this ugly green pop-out worm. When I first held it, all I could think was: What is this bizarre design? It is so ugly! But the moment I squeezed it hard, and those two round eyeballs shot out and smacked my thumb, I understood. That weird tactile feedback is completely addictive! And the absolute best part: it is 100% silent!

The Pocket-Sized Panic Button

Now, during Zoom meetings, my hands are constantly squeezing this thing under the desk. Nobody hears a sound. Nobody knows that while I look totally professional on camera, I am actually aggressively popping a poor worm's eyes out of its skull. It comes in a pack of 6, which is fantastic because I constantly lose things. I keep one on my nightstand, one in my laptop bag, and even shoved one in my coat pocket.

It's small enough to hide perfectly in the palm of your hand. If you have ADHD, anxiety, or just can't stop picking at your fingers, stop dropping hundreds of dollars on "premium" fidget toys. Try replacing your nail-biting with this ugly little guy. Your fingers will thank you.
