*Ornament2r* General Impressions: This is an interesting piece of prose about the effect we have on ourselves when overcome with anxiety. I wanted to read this piece because the title caught my attention. Recriminatory voices is a great way to describe it!

*Ornament1g* Best Parts: My favorite lines were the opening:

Forgive yourself for behaving that way,
Your anxiety was infecting your soul.

Anxiety does infect your soul and the feelings of guilt that go along with it are quite strong. We do things when we're feeling anxious that we wouldn't normally do. I know I've made some serious mistakes during fits of anxiety that have caused me need to apologize about a million times. It's nice that the narrator is telling the person to forgive their self for the behavior as well. I don't feel like it's very common to find a supportive person like that with anxiety.

*Ornament3r* Possible Suggestions: I've read the ending of this one several times and I'm still not understanding what's being said. The issues that I'm having is with this part:

Like any violent relationship,
The perpetrators view,

That's nearly never you.

What's nearly never you? Is it the perpetrator's view that she/he never is? Like how in a violent relationship, the outsiders can tell what's going on, but the victim inside of it is always in denial? Hey, I think I might've worked this one out myself. The person the narrator is talking to never shares a perpetrator's view of the violent relationship they have with their anxiety? If so, I'd suggest adding an apostrophe to 'perpetrators' so that we know the view is the thing at hand.

*Ornament4g* Summary: This was an interesting topic and I definitely think it accurately displayed the psychological side of anxiety. Thanks again for sharing with us!
