Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth

Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:

Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability

Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change

Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words

Not talking at all

Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”

Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.

As an ace/aro person I feel like I’m never allowed to talk about the fear and pain associated with being ace/aro. Almost every conversation I have about aceness starts with telling people what asexuality is. If they get that then I’m often stuck convincing them it’s a real thing. Pass that step and now I’m on to telling them I’m not broken. Pass that and I get to explain I’m not something to be pitied. I feel like I have to spend all my time talking about it convincing people’s it’s real, not a broken state and not something to be pitied that I never get to actually talk about being ace. I don’t feel like I can talk about how my aceness makes every person who might be into me seen threatening. I don’t get to talk about how almost any form of sex would be traumatic for me. I don’t get to talk about how terrified I am that I actually am broken, or something to be pitied. I dont get to talk about how i doubt every interaction I have because I’ve been told my understanding is impossible for so long. I don’t get to talk about how I don’t know what the future looks like for me, if family is even a possibility, if there’s any future where I’m not alone. That’s real to me. All of that is part of my aceness. But I can’t talk about it without reinforcing people’s ideas that will only hurt ace people more.

Ni puñetera idea de hacer aesthetics. Nominada por @aloharker, nomino a: @comfortably-braindamaged, @ecorie, @infected-girls y a cualquiera que se anime también. Parece que hay reglas: tienen que ser con fotos que haya en tu galería de móvil, sin descargártelas de fuera (supongo que en este mismo instante)

And the world is clumsy, and beautiful, and new.

rat brain: a mosaic of glia and neurons

fluorescence, 600x

Expression of combinations of three different fluorescent proteins in a mouse brain produced ten different colored neurons. Individual neurons in a mouse brain appear in different colors in a fluorescence microscope. This “Brainbow” method enables many distinct cells within a brain circuit to be viewed at one time. 

The brain is what it is because of the structural and functional properties of interconnected neurons. Your brain contains between 80 and 100 billion neurons, about as many stars in our galaxy.

Time to cuddle up with your significant otter. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Sé que no debo sucumbir a esta manía mía de repetir, a esta manía mía de repetir lo que está probado que no me hace feliz.
