This one’s for all my friends on here with problems.

If you’re having a trauma or anxiety episode, if you’re thinking about killing yourself, you just need to make it through tonight. The morning won’t make everything good, but things will be better.

Do what you need to do. If you’re struggling to make it through this moment, there are things like exercise for anxiety, cold water on the face for anxiety or flashbacks, other distress tolerance skills. Use your skills, white knuckle it. Don’t use substances or behaviors. Surf the urge.

Try to get some sleep. It’ll be better if you do, but the morning will still be better than the night if you don’t. If you can’t sleep, see if you can lie down and listen to or watch something comforting, maybe with your eyes closed.

If you can’t do that, see if you can be kind to yourself. Maybe that feels natural right now, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe you don’t deserve it. Try it anyway. If there’s some cosmic (or literal) debt to be paid for it, you can pay it in the morning.

Try to be kind. If you can eat, eat something comforting. If you’re in a bed or couch, maybe curl up with a soft blanket or stuffed animal. Smell something that smells like home.

This isn’t about solving the problem, this is about getting you to a place where solving the problem might be possible. It’ll probably take more than a night. But right now, we’re just making it through to see the sun again.

I want to sleep forever,

Will you slip into oblivion with me?

And Adam, is he a complete idiot or what? YES, he is! And much worse! But I don't wanna talk about Adam now. He's gonna screw up wiht my sister & me soon anyway.

And the stranger I met online.... This sentence that Daniel said, that one of them would replace him... stuck in my mind forever. What exactly I mean by that, will clear itself up soon.

And Daniel didn't remember Tina. He still had no idea what happend that one night a year ago between him and her. I don’t know why he let me believe he would remember Tina? And he will let me keep thinking that...

Anyway he and I went home after this fight. Daniel didn’t manage to calm down in the next 4 days, so he will leave me. Nevertheless I thought everything was ok between us, because we reconciled, but.... he just had to leave. I wish he had at least told me this thing with Tina, that he didn’t remember her, before he left. Then ...... many things would have gone differently. But Daniel didn't say anything! He just.... pissed off. He suffered from a severe mental stress disorder, which he will learn weeks later. Only months after he left, when I was already pregnant, he was ready to talk to me. I filed for divorce 5 months later. D. got the court order so he decided to come back to me. I think that’s when he realized I started a new life and that he had finally to do something, to talk to me, not to lose me. When he saw and learned that I was pregnant, he was totally disappointed, but also mad... at me, himself, the world, at everything. This was one of the most difficult and painful experiences I have had with him. But he didn’t want to accept the divorce, so.... I dropped it too.

Y'ALL, I'VE CRACKED THE CODE

For yeaaaaarrsss, I've gotten into an endless loop whenever I have to go to school or work, where I don't get ready to go, start hating on myself for being "lazy", and then procrastinate getting ready even more and end up late to everything.

And for years, I've had emergency anxiety meds, but only took them during panic attacks or when social anxiety spiked. Basically only if I could feel my heart racing and unnecessary adrenaline kicking in.

But dude, taking them while stuck in the loop of "lazy", has helped me so much!

Will this work for you? I don't know. You have a different body, and maybe you don't have anxiety meds, or have a different kind to mine. Maybe you are hesitant to take yours because it's slightly addictive. Maybe you're hesitant to take yours because of internalized stigma or you want to be able to not lean on it as a crutch.

I don't know what to tell ya for the first one, but let me ask you this.

Do you look at people who use crutches and think "they should be able to walk without that". NO! OF COURSE NOT!

Use your crutch, use your meds. They're there for a reason. They're there to help you.

I think in my experience with it, the best/funniest way to describe living with OCD/anxiety issues/intrusive thoughts is that it feels like having a Tumblr user who sends anon hate in your brain; a loud, annoying, pathetic little voice that jumps to the most ridiculous, disgusting, uncharitable, nonsensical, bad faith, and upsetting-to-you-personally hot take on almost everything you do, see, like, believe, think, enjoy, and feel. And it harasses/bullies you by spamming these takes at you repetitively and demanding you engage with them, but the only way to really deal with it is learn to distinguish it from your real anons/thoughts and ignore it as the powerless deranged weakling it is because engaging with it is useless and just encourages it to keep bugging you.

How do I talk to people?

I fumble, words twisting on my tongue like

vocal acrobatics.

The words I have to give- they're right there.

Yet nowhere at the same time,

How do you translate your heart into English?

What defines exactly how I feel?

I come up with nothing.

So I stay silent...

The acrobats dance on my tongue a while longer until they dive off the tip of it.

The other acrobats slide down my cheek to catch their friends gracefully gliding from swing to swing.

It's all just a drop in the bucket I have at my feet.

Maybe it’s mania but I think my life is starting to turn around.

Maybe it’s mania but all that I am passionate for seems within reach, I can grasp it wholly.

I feel so much love for my friends and family and loved ones, it’s so exciting.

Maybe it’s mania but I haven’t been able to focus this acutely in a century.

With such great energy I bring forth ideas of great importance yet of onerous origin.

I have full confidence in its success.

Maybe it’s the mania but I can hear the flowers.

They whisper through the clear blue that I have superpowers.

And maybe it’s mania but that’s just enough for me

To get through a cyclical life of lacking mental sovereignty.

I just started sobbing and crying out that I just want to get better. I just want to get better so bad. I want to stop getting worse. I want to feel better so bad. I'm tired of the anxiety attacks. I'm tired of being terrified to be on my own in life. I'm tired of feeling scared all the time. I don't want to burden my family anymore. Why can't I just try harder and be better? Why's everything have to be so hard for me that shouldn't be.
