#how to control your anxiety

"Childhood Trauma Signs."

Traumatic experiences can initiate strong emotions and physical reactions that can persist long after the event. Children may feel terror, helplessness, or fear, as well as physiological reactions such as heart pounding, vomiting, or loss of bowel or bladder control. You might have difficulties trusting, low self-esteem, fears of being judged, constant attempts to please, outbursts of frustration, or social anxiety symptoms that won't let up. Can childhood trauma be healed? Being mentally healthy during childhood means reaching developmental and emotional milestones and learning healthy social skills and how to cope when there are problems. Mentally healthy children have a positive quality of life and can function well at home, in school, and in their communities. Things that can help keep children and young people mentally well include: being in good physical health, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise, having time and freedom to play, indoors and outdoors, being part of a family that gets along well most of the time. Anya Wellbeing is a Creative Therapy Centre that promotes the Expressive Arts for Mental Health and Alternative Methods for Holistic Wellness by using a variety of research-based treatment methods and hope to bring the joy of creativity in healing.

holy shit I did NOT realize how popular my "I will remove my teeth, for I want to remain kind despite my anger" quote is. I just googled it for fun to see what would come up, a bunch of people are quoting it not knowing who its from, an artist called Kuma made an album titled that, so bizzare

#also people are misatributing the quote to kuma and the first google result for the quote attributes it to them #which is kind of upsetting but not a huge deal whatever #its cool it seems to have entered culture like that #i get very mixed feelings about those instances where something I made got WAY more popular than i expected and #people are reposting it or using it without attributing it to me #i both feel bad when stuff isnt credited to me but also good that my art has expanded beyond my reach #its out of my control kind of and other people have it now #which IS what i want for my art and how i generally think art should be #but it is also obviously causes some anxiety to lose control and really full ownership of something that is yours #i think also there is anxiety about something of mine being taken by someone bigger than me #since they can just claim it as their own and most people will know them as the origin #not talking specifically about this quote btw just any of my work #ive definetly been thinking about that hbomberguy vid lol #i hope any of this made sense im a little high rn

#so on my way home.. #i walked by a school and besides the fact that i felt so depressed bc just looking at these kids and adults i have NO hope for the future #i saw two boys on a bench as i walked by... and i just thought they were talking. and too late i realized that no one of the boys were #bullying the other boy. the bully walked away and the other boy just sat there looking so lifeless and dejected #a teacher came and sat down w that boy and i just kept walking. even if i wanted to say smth it's like what would i even do abt that situati #that made me so sad both bc that boy.. he looked so dejected and used to it. that anxiety going to school knowing you're bullied is awful #and like i imagined talking to him and saying heyyy if you're lucky you'll grow up to be 25yrs old #live like a parasite off your mom and be on wellfare and never have had a job :) #you'll have no education or highschool diploma :) you will still struggle to finish hs even at an easier level :) #you will also not have had friends in 10yrs and you'll be terrified of ppl and getting close to anyone and even going outside!! #you'll have no interests and hobbies and skills! you'll simply be a waste of space loser being a burden on everyone around u! #whoop whoop stay alive buddy it will only get worse ❤️ #god i just wanna cry. how did i let my life turn out this way??? i used to be full of dreams and life and passion and HOPE #i used to believe in things and in people. i had so many dreams and i wanted to try and do so many things #now all i can think is 'i wanna die i wanna die i wanna die'. im miserable wherever i go lmao #there's this bridge over the highway i have to cross when i walk to school and every time i look down at the trafic and when a truck drives #by i feel my entire body vibrate. i just wanna jump and get mauled by it. #or i dont *want* to but i feel so deeply and desperately that it's the only way for me #only way to make it stop hurting. and i am weak. i dont know how to just 'stop' or take control of my life. thats why i wanna die #bc i know that i wont be able to. that my life will never amount to anything #for fuck's sake my dream now is just to have my own 1bedroom apartment and have a shitty job - like in a grocery store or whatever!!!!! #not even that can i make happen! bc im so worthless i cant do anything. im also stupid so i wouldnt be able to do my job right #i dont know... i dont know... these feelings and thoughts are too much i just wanna relax #but i cant bc my ribs hurt and idk if it's heartburn or an ulcer 💀 why am i even alive???? what am i doing all this for? 😭 #my thoughts ran away but i meant like seeing that reminded me of how much of a failure i became #bc of my circumstances and all the shitty ppl around me thru out my life

#random personal stuff #personal whining feel free to ignore #am currently filled with spite and general I'll-Show-YOU-ness regarding a skill I never learned #it was implied recently that I do not know how to do this thing because of lack of interest #like I just woke up one morning and decided to be a burden on society #I KNOW perfectly well that knowing how to do this would give me greater independence #do you think I haven't been bearing the weight of this guilt most of my life #not learning was a situation beyond my control #long story weird upbringing unhelpful people lack of opportunity resultant anxiety etc. #anyway I've had it and I'd love to go out and prove that I'm not really worthless #...unfortunately I live in a small town where there's no place for someone like me to learn #because the system assumes that you are a teenager and your parents or school will teach you #or else (I suppose) that knowledge of this thing is written on every adult's heart already #so yeah...this is also a lot of why I never learned #(excuse me while I get angry for a moment) #I hate this. I hate the system. I hate living in a small town with extremely limited resources. #I hate whatever motivated the people who should have been helping me not to give me the opportunity and resources to learn. #(rant over sorry) #anyway I will eventually figure this out #but in the meantime it is Frustrating

I keep saying that I‘ll write the ultrakill fic, which I will, but if I post it is a whole nother question because the thing about the ferrymother I posted allready almost made me throw up with anxiety soooooooooo ye

#ultrakill #If I had the enrgy I‘d probably ask you fellas for fic prompts maybe #or stuff about my ocs that you‘d like to see more details about #even for the non ultrakill stuff if anyone wants #but like I said I dunno if I have the energy #seeing how I barely have the energy for self maintainance rn #I should have showered two days ago but I am so fixated on cleaning my room rn #but the second I stop cleaning all I can do is lay down and be miserable #so I need to finish cleaning my room so I can shower #this is what untreated adhd in combo with a controlling parent breathing down your neck and giving you additional anxiety looks like

had a bad day at work yesterday

#and now i have an anxiety attack #and i hate that people's perception of me can have a physical effect on me #and i hate that no matters if you gave your best one presentation can ruin your image #even if you can't control many factors #and i hate that i care #i hate that i want to show that i can do #i managed to survive the whole year #i hate the comparison #i did my best but wasn't enough #and i worked so hard #to even be recognized #to be told it wasn't good enough #it seems like I'm never good enough #i hate that #i hate that people can think whatever they want of me #without seeing how hard it's been #i don't want to be perceived #cath rambles

my anxiety is unbelievably fucking bad rn. i am so scared

#purrs #delete later #ask to tag #(​putting slashes thru things so that they don’t show up in search btw) #i have no right to be scared bc im not there. but im so scared for the people of ga/za. and i am so scared that… idk. it’s completely my #fault bc i go looking for these kinds of things on purpose to hurt myself. but i doomscrolled last night about ww/3 and the possibility of #nu/clear war being fueled by is/rael’s ‘war’ on pale/stine and not only am i sick with fear about the people living directly in that region #but i am so fucking scared of the possibility of nu/clear war. or like. any war breaking out in the us. which i know is a ridiculous self #centered thought to have but my anxiety is out of fucking control rn and it has been getting worse throughout the week. i just don’t know #how to wrap my head around the violence of this week. and so few je/wish ppl i know irl are antizi/onist and ppl just expect me to be #supportive of is/rael jsut bc im je/wish and it makes me fucking FURIOUS not only because i resent these horrors being committed to innocent #people in the name of my own people but it is so extremely dangerous to conflate j/udaism with zi/onism. the consequences diasporic je/ws #are goi ng to face are of course nowhere near as central or all-consumingly violent as the people in gaz/a and i feel personally safe enough #as someone who (and i know this is kind of a terrible thing to say) passes very easily as a go/y (esp w a mask on) and has a g/oy last name #but i am so fucking terrified of the antise/mitism getting worse here and have been exposing myself to evidence of it even though it is #extremely destructive to my mental health. but also i deeply resent the rhetoric around ‘reach out to your j/ewish friends they’re suffering #rn’ because…. we are not a monolith nor are we the direct victims in this situation and it just feels so uncomfortable and centering to make #it an issue of silence etc etc when… there are innocent ppl in g/aza who are experiencing terror no human being should ever have to endure #and most of them are children and they are the people who will ‘pay’ most directly and immediately and severely for what happened a week ago #i just feel so fucking on edge from this entire situation and unable to do anything to help when the destruction is imminent and this #nightmare of a country is at the core of so much suffering in this world and it will take centuries to undo it all and in the meantime so #many innocent people are going to die and maybe the entire world will be destroyed by nu/clear war which we are basically begging for at #this point. it’s so hard to function in my personal life when i am keenly aware of what could be happening at any moment #i don’t know how to end this post. im just fucking scared and there’s nothing i can do

Dear people with hyperhidrosis: let's hold hands. Lets high five. I do not care if they're sweaty. Let's hug. Let's cuddle. I do not care if your armpits are swamps and smell bad. You can take off your shoes and socks even if your feet are very sweaty. I do not care. You deserve comfort too. People with hyperhidrosis I Love You.

#sweaty #excessive sweating #hyperhidrosis #i have struggled with excessive underarm sweating since i was 8 #and as someone who has social anxiety and autism. that shit DOES NOT help the social awkwardness. #i really wish this was talked about more. i and many others have grown up ashamed of our sweat even though its out of our control #and tips to help it #75% of all my old shirts are badly sweat stained because i didnt know how to manage my armpit sweat until like a year or two ago #i am here to let all my fellow sweaty people know. YOU ARE NOT GROSS!! IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE UNHYGIENIC!! #YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS AND COMFORT IN YOUR BODY!! AND YOU DESERVE TO HAVE PHYSICAL TOUCH!! #i really needed this kinda positivity when i was younger #so i would like to spread it now #maybe i should post tips on what ive found that helps me with my sweat #i do not have much issues with my hands and feet so unfortunately i do not have much advice but i will be here to listen n support n learn #positivity #i forgot to tag that

"Panic Attacks Remedies."

It is said that when you can't get over it, it's because you're meant to go through it. All emotions are natural part of human experience. But as a result trauma, certain emotions become unmanageable because of the narratives we attach to it. If we feel a difficult emotion, the story we may tell ourselves might be critical, harsh and judgemental of ourselves. These narratives are consitioned within us due to experiences we've had as a child, that could have been traumatic. Get in touch with Aanchal Gehi at Aanya wellbeing, a Qualified and Inclusive Therapist who follows a Humanistic and Client-Focused Approach, and so Anya helps you look beyond your diagnosis who uses a variety of research-based treatment methods and hope to bring the joy of creativity in healing.

I went through my old photo album and found a bunch of pictures from over a year and a half ago when I was dating my ex (the one who cheated on me). I pulled them all out of the album and.......yeah

Anyway, this is a part of what healing can look like:

#healing #breakups #mental therapy #trust issues #trauma #your pain is valid #cheating #the best part of this is that it hasn't even out of impulsive anger or hatred #it was my way of letting go #i pulled them out of the book and wondered what to do with them #because it seemed weird to me to throw away these perfect and glossy photographs no matter who was in them #and i have an issue with attaching myself to random things and being unable to throw them away #to be able to look at these pictures and not only throw them away #but to cut them up #to DESTROY them #turn them to shreds #it was healing #for someone who struggles to let go #to be able to just destroy that evidence of that relationship and that hurt #it was powerful #and so healing #i removed those from my life #empowering #healing is hard #it's long #and you don't control how long it takes #but you can control how you heal #everyone deserves to heal and if you're struggling just keep going because you will get there #anxiety #depression

local man discovers he's gotten into the habit of using DBT techniques without actually being taught them because at some point he realised that the things we get the urge to do when we have strong emotions often aren't healthy and that he doesn't like how he feels afterwards so he started noticing when that was happening and going "fuck that shit" and doing the opposite instead

#personal #thoughts #Lucy post #talking to 🍬 about various stuff we do because of our social anxiety and what are probably undiagnosed BPD symptoms #and we realised he's gotten himself into the habit of paying attention to how his emotions affect his judgement #and trying to take a step back when he's experiencing an emotion that he knows gives us the urge to do stuff that's not healthy for us #and he said he felt bad about having those emotions and urges to do unhealthy stuff #at which point I was like ''okay but you're choosing not to act on that and to take a step back and do something healthier instead #which is what actually matters here and is also something that takes a hell of a lot of self-awareness and self-control'' #this is shit they teach you in therapy that's difficult specifically because you're going against your brain's instincts for a situation #and we were never taught how to do it so you've just fucking taught yourself to do it instead #without actually knowing it's a specific technique that has a name #I was aware of it but had never actually looked at the instructions properly because when I stumbled across it #it was at a point where being told to go against what my emotions made me want to do felt invalidating and upsetting #I've literally just pieced together that ''oh right that's what that is and how it's supposed to work #and how it's meant to feel when you do it right'' #anyway all this is to say that I keep being impressed with the amount of progress 🍬's made on learning healthy coping mechanisms #including things I could never seem to get the hang of when I was fronting more and handling more stuff #and I'm really proud of him and 🦋 and everyone else who's been handling stuff within the system and keeping things running #but also nobody in here seems to realise how much progress they've made with anything until someone else points it out #I just realised I should tag this as #happy posting #because I'm talking about stuff that's going well and where we've actually made a lot of progress

eeuuaghh i would like everyone to know that i apologise if i have not responded to your reblogs/mentions/posts on tumblr, i have really terrible social anxiety and for some reason people talking to me makes my nervous system think i'm being hunted for sport by a resident evil boss. sorry if i havent responded i'm not being rude i'm just having a panic attack :P

additionally: social anxiety is actually the reason why a lot of my old posts from late 2022 had weird spacing and spelling mistakes. i was too anxious to type properly

#sorry this seems like a random thing to post but it has been bugging me for a little bit now and i want to post it #and by a little bit i mean the entire time i've been on this website #as for the reason i have social anxiety: i went to a really terrible high school full of dangerous people- #-who were literally like. the worst most bigoted people ever. not everyone there was bad of course but 90% of them were- #-and that stunted by social development by 5-6 years and now every time someone talks to me i feel like i'm about to get murdered #also primary school was. bad. the other kids could sniff out the autism in me and didn't like me for it #this post isn't directed towards anyone specifically but also it kinda is because there's a DM from someone- #-that i haven't responded to in literally 8 months and every time i think about it i get anxious #i'm sorry!!! i'm not trying to ignore you on purpose and i want to say something but my brain literally will not let me out of fear :( #i'm not used to getting talked to directly so every time i do my entire nervous system starts screaming and running in circles #it's kinda ridiculous because it's like. come on. why are you having a panic attack over a message on tumblr it's LITERALLY just words on- #-a screen what are you freaking out about. but also it's like hhhhh unfamiliar social situation scary. help. #unrelated to that but i am very worried about what people will think of me and like i know i really shouldn't worry about that- #-because i can't control what other people think of me and it really shouldn't be any of my or their business. but also- #-i have legitimate trauma that backs my fears up and every time someone is even slightly critical towards me my brain just goes- #-''see? it happened again i TOLD you it would happen again. idiot. you shouldn't have said anything'' #and then i hide and cry and lay in bed thinking about how i'm going to die until i suddenly snap out of it and think- #-''wait hang on why should i care. i love being a weirdo on the internet why should i let my anxieties stop me'' #and then it happens AGAIN and it's just a viscous cycle at that point #be silly on the internet -> detect slight criticism -> think everyone hates you again -> go back on your bullshit after 3 days of crying #and it makes sense because that exact same pattern happened to me countless times as a child. #be silly in school -> get made fun of for it -> get hated for it -> rinse and repeat until you think everyone is dangerous and they hate yo #if i could put it in a metaphor it would be like me being a little rabbit who thinks everyone is a scary wolf because of their big shadows- #-even though they're all also rabbits and i'm just paying attention to the scariest parts of them because i only know what wolves look like #trauma does fucked up things to your psyche lemmie tell you #social anxiety #anxiety disorder #i'm literally the ''too scared to order food'' stereotype except it's not a stereotype because it's real and every time i look at the 7/11- #-at my campus i go ''hm but what if they hate me for the food i buy there'' even though they're LITERALLY SELLING IT what is WRONG with me #anyway um. social anxiety sucks and i don't mean to not reply ro everyone who talks to me i am sorr y

Professionals like doctors, therapists whatever rlly are just some guys at the end of the day. Like yes they've trained more and have expertise and yes you should place trust in them if they are reliable but you also need to trust your gut because that isn't an infalliable God giving you advice it's John the 43 year old who happens to have gone into medicine.

If you feel like they're taking advantage of you or being unprofessional or gaslighting you NEED to get out of there and (if u can) report their asses to a professional body!!!! Like do not let these ppl get away with treating you awfully cause they have a degree and I say that as someone who has a Professional Degree ™ (law) and is working towards practicing.

You know how everyone distrusts lawyers and thinks we're scummy? You need to be applying that level of distrust to a lot more professions you rely on. If you feel like dogshit and your doctor dismisses your concerns or says youre just anxious or fat and you think something else is wrong PLEASE go seek a second opinion.

#i have mild long covid because i listened to my body when it got worse and i literally nagged my doctor until she gave me meds #luckily the meds were great at controlling my situation but if i had listened to the cardiologist who tried to tell me i was just fat #i likely would have gotten substantially worse #im really really functional for someone with post covid issues because i was able to rest and because i pestered my doctors #therapists can be the worst too because theyre like oh are u sure youre not just catastrophizing :/ #eggs are 8 dollars emily. how am i supposed to uncatastrophize large swathes of people being unable TO AFFORD FOOD #ofc if u actually have anxiety or you think your weight is impacting ur health then yeah seek treatment for that

#why is everything so hard to DO #just registered to vote idk if i did it right #bc i searched up my name in her emails bc my school said we need to stay on top of all of it this year #and saw one asking me to register to vote and it said reply by the 19th but obviously she didnt tell me so i might just not get to vote idk #and didnt want to sign up for a postal vote bc of course they have to post the application to you and then she would be like why are you #trying to vote who do you think you are youre not allowed to be a person outside of what i allow etc etc #so ig when the time comes itll have to be in person #and you need id for that #and of course i dont have a driving licence bc im not allowed to learn how to drive so WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO #at least i can access my passport but there could be people whose parents/spouses hide their documents.. #like dp you see what i mean . everythning is a trap #also im getting so much anxiety about not knowing how to drive #bc she'll never let me learn under her roof so wtf am i supposed to do like genuinely #ill just have to go about life not knowing this basic skill #at least my brother knows how to from pakistan so he can just do the tests #i dont even KNOW #theres just so many things like that which make my skin crawl #like the fact that my bank account is linked to her phone and this address so thats a level of control she has over me like for years #and this is my address for everything official basically #and i have no idea how id even start changing it when i do leave #think the only option left is to kms maybe then ill be free

officially covid negative!!

#win rambles #that experience was godawful and not because of the actual covid symptoms but bc of my ocd #and it made me realize how many people are developing ocd and other anxiety disorders for themselves with this pandemic #the way everyone is assigning morality to covid is honestly disgusting #i had some of the worst intrusive thoughts i have ever had in my LIFE due to the attitudes of people about covid that i see online #and it also made me realize that i need to really limit my time on the internet #i really do think everyone on this site (and the internet in general tbh) just hates people with ocd #anyway i'm over it now and covid is around and here to stay and i know it sucks but getting mad about it is literally not productive #some people are just REALLY pressed about things they ltierally can't control #which is yknow where anxiety and ocd stems from #it's much better to just. try your best to let it go #and live your life #i wanna make a more in depth post about this and all the thoughts i've had #but the truth is that there aren't protections or precautions being taken at large for covid anymore #and you can get really upset about it and live your life with debilitating anxiety or you can just. accept that it's here to stay #and make the choices you need to make to live with that #if there's one thing i've learned from having emetophobia my entire life it's that overanalyzing everything you and others #do in order to avoid getting sick is literally like. not a way to live. not a good way to live anyway #anyway this is funny that i'm writing this after the drama with my mask post that i deleted #but you know what. i've grown. i've learned. i've changed #i still hold to that original point but the thing is?? most people aren't masking anymore. and that sucks #but i literally cannot control what they do! so i'm not gonna give myself more anxiety stressing about it! #life is hard enough as it is
