Chris Crust is so excited to go on a trip to Italy! But sadly, his trip is cancelled. He feels overwhelmed with boredom, isolation, and disappointment. He starts to obsess over the future; will the trip get cancelled AGAIN? His future self arrives (with an impressive new Italian accent) and assures him that he will experience Italy someday. But for now, he needs to try to live in the present and avoid fixating on the future, which could lead to more disappointment.
You are not alone in your struggle. Remember that it’s normal to feel the impact of anxiety and isolation, especially as the world around us changes. Even if you can’t talk to yourself in the future, you can still find someone to discuss your feelings with. A friend, parent, or trusted teacher can help you recognize and cope with your fears and anxieties.
Share this video series with other people you know and see if any of them feel the same way. It’s a fun way to share your feelings and maybe help your friends as well! Remember, it’s okay to talk about how you feel.
► Do you find yourself obsessing over the future and attaching a great deal of importance to upcoming events?
► Can you think of anyone else who may feel the same way you do?
► What do you think ‘future you’ would say, if they could time travel?
► Who is someone you trust that you could talk about your feelings?

Time Travelling Pizza is an animated series for pre-teens and teens on topics like social anxiety, health anxiety, contamination OCD, and more. With humour and heart, Time Travelling Pizza normalizes anxiety in an entertaining way and encourages youth to seek help from a trusted parent, teacher, or friend.
Anxiety Canada created Time Travelling Pizza 'Caretoons' to help parents, educators, and healthcare providers start a dialogue with youth and help them understand that they're not alone.
