fuck life and good luck, y'all

Me everyday tbh 🙃😥😢

I don't know what have I done to be muted, avoided, ignored and forgotten by mostly everyone and feel like this 😰

Have you ever struggled write any story chapters because you feel covered in this heavy feeling of nervousness or anxiousness in worrying your fic ideas won't turn out as good as you'd hope and people will dislike your writing?

Have you ever had Butterflies?

Have you ever had butterflies in your stomach when you’re excited and anxious? It’s almost poetic, isn’t it? But have you ever stopped to wonder what causes that? Well, your gut and brain are connected to each other through the vagus nerve. We might think that what happens in your gut stays in the gut, but that’s not quite right. What happens in your gut can affect your whole body. So when you feel anxious, your gut tells your brain, and your brain sends a signal back to the gut. This causes the muscles in your stomach to tense up, which is why we feel butterflies. So next time you start to wonder, ‘Is it my nerves?’ Well, guess what—it really is your gut and your brain working together.

sometimes i just lay in bed and let my anxiety consume me. I read somewhere “The more you fear it, more it will haunt you.”

but let me tell how it honestly feels like.

it feels like being a 5 yrs old who is scared of demon in her room. but difference is that the demon is real. so tonight she is not afraid of the demon and letting demon come and possess her rather than making it go away.

I feel like I posted too much tom cruise fic in a day 😳 Should I cut back or yall like it lol

Schizoaffective season 4 episode 44

Things have been going well. I’ve been playing online video games a lot lately. Although the past few days I haven’t. Ever since my cousins wedding I haven’t felt like doing anything. The weather has been perfect and I just wanna be outside. I was just thinking. I have no reward in my brain. So it makes it very hard to get anything done because nothing feels productive. If I do something I…

Avoidance

Avoidance is one of many survival mechanisms designed to protect us from danger. If you’ve ever had food poisoning from what seemed like a healthy piece of fish, you know it will be a long time before you eat fish again! You avoid fish. Avoidance helps protect us. But what if there is no danger? What if you notice you’re avoiding perfectly safe locations, activities or interactions with people? Think back over the past month and consider whether you might have been avoiding situations, activities, or people rather than facing them.

Avoidance is a common behaviour when anxiety strikes and learning how to cope through approach rather than avoidance is an important tool. Although when we first avoid we might feel less anxious, after a while the thing we are avoiding can seem harder to approach. Eventually when we do have to deal with it, it can feel incredibly overwhelming making the anxiety much worse than it would have been had we approached the situation in the first place. In addition, although avoidance can lead to immediate relief from anxiety, it can generate a host of other unwanted emotions such as sadness, guilt and shame, frustration, and more.

If you notice that your worry is making you avoid certain situations, activities, or people it might be time to approach them. To do this you will learn about a systematic process called exposure, which has you gradually face your fears step by step. Exposure involves having you enter into a feared situation, remaining there until your anxiety lessens, and then doing this repeatedly until your anxiety disappears permanently. Exposure is not dangerous and will not make the fear worse. In fact, up until now if you have been avoiding or escaping from the people, places and things you fear, this has likely maintained your anxiety. By engaging in gradual exposure to your fears, you can learn that these people, places and things are not dangerous, and that even if they are difficult, that you can cope. Done correctly, exposure can eliminate anxiety once and for all.

Me: should I say hi to her?

*Looks at said friend.*

Social anxiety: no she doesn't like you

Anxiety: no

My throat: no

Me: NIEN

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I wish I was better at this thing called life.

How do you do something that is making you anxious while being anxious? I literally can't function rn but I've been trying to wait it out for literally two weeks and I've run out of time.

Very anxious being alone but we can freely stim and be ourselves

We love vocal stimming and stimming in general. makes us feel better.
