Necesito soledad …
~
It comes in waves. Anger, then sadness, anxiety then anger again.
All I can do is lay in bed by myself and isolate.
I dont really have a right to push everyone away and then lament that im hurting and lonely.
I just..........
Oh well..
welp.
managed to make myself so irrationally angry I cant even breath.
why on earth do I do this to myself? why? why??
my heart is pounding and racing out of my chest in firey anger and my eyes sting
I know I need to just relax and breathe but I swear its like blinding hot anger.
I shouldnt be so worked up over something from literally years ago that had nothing to do with me
but.. fuck.. it makes me sick..
im just being a stupid irrationally angry crybaby and i hate it...
1. enter room
2. press hands together
3. lift fingertips to lips
4. exhale
5. close eyes
6. pause
7. what the fuck am I doing here
when you feel yourself becoming obsessed with a new person, and it’s the scariest and best feeling ever
showering: take cold shower so you don’t get dizzy and pass out! Self care!
also me: it must feel like satan is PISSING on you and your skin must peel off like a face mask or it isn’t hot enough. You fucking wimp
a lump sum of money is on the way to you
These are methods that help -> me <- not immediately go into full “terrible things are about to happen” panic mode
Im lowkey making this post to distract myself from being alone at home and paranoid but anyway
Call someone, even if its just making a doctors appointment or stuff like that. Consider a mental health line even when you’re not having a meltdown the whole experience is very distracting
If its during the day, open some windows and listen to life going on outside of your isolation chamber
Listen to some fun podcasts, mbmbam is my life and distracts me from incoming feelings of dread
Since you probably already thought of the worst possible outcome, try to think of the best possible outcome and come to the conclusion that probably neither is going to happen and that this day is going to be like any other day because nothing EVER happens
Dont watch that scary video
Dont do it
I swear to god
If you’re going to be alone the entire day and night, make a strict routine for that day so you’re going to be too distracted for fear
Sit in the sun, take a hot bath, put an icecube on your forhead, seek out sensory stimuli, but dont hurt yourself
Look for a pet, pet that pet
If you got stuff like “okay but did I REALLY lock the door?” over and over again ,visualise the memory of you locking the door in your mind and check in your mind reality instead of your meat reality
Make a post about your coping mechanisms because maybe they could help someone who knows
why are you staring? please stop it.
ANXIETY DISORDERS ARE NOT THE SAME AS JUST FEELING ANXIOUS/NERVOUS
Anxiety can cause horrible physical symptoms that make everyday life very difficult
It can make you feel utterly terrified, as though your life is in danger, for no apparent reason
It can give you panic attacks at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all
It makes you feel vulnerable and unsafe almost all the time
It is utterly, completely tormenting to live with
Triggers can be everywhere, anything and caused by anyone at any time
It is not a matter of shyness, cute blushing or butterflies in the stomach
It is a hideous, evil disease that I would not wish on anyone
It can be literal mental and physical torture to live with when it gets bad
PLEASE, PLEASE STOP TRIVIALISING ANXIETY (or any mental illness)
irony: having to leave my house in order to get therapy for agoraphobia
Your health matters!
You can’t help anyone unless you help yourself.
Rest, Heal and be happy.
shout out to anyone having a flareup right now. i’m sorry you’re hurting. you’re stronger than you feel right now. go easy on yourself today. you deserve it.
if it makes you unable to get out of bed: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to think straight: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to brush your hair in the morning: you’re not faking it
even if you’re still able to work and smile during the day but unable to sleep or move later that day because of it: you’re not faking it
if it effects you in any way: you are not faking it
THIS IS REAL, don’t second guess yourself because others do
Me: multiple chronic illnesses with a wide span of symptoms.
Abled Person: have you tried yoga?
AP: gluten free?
AP: therapy? mindfulness?
AP: exercise?
AP: very expensive trial treatments?
Me: yes, none of it works.
…
AP: well I guess you just don’t WANT to get better then.
