"content": "Lately it feels like I've moved way backwards. For a while my anxiety had become more manageable, and it didn't feel like I was nearly as stressed, or as sensitive to changes, events, etc. Since I've started college, I've definitely been more stressed, but in the past few weeks, I'm back to where I was years ago, when I was in Elementary school. I cry myself to sleep worrying about death, or the end of the world, and I haven't done that in close to 10 years. I get overstimulated really easily now, and I've even been lashing out, which I've never done before. I have a stomach ache because my friend invited me to a birthday party, even though I want to go. Most of the time it seems like I'm jittery and worried for no reason. I can usually pinpoint something that's causing it, but with this I don't even know why I'm stressed out. \n\nI've been trying to manage it as best as I can, with decent sleep, lower expectations for daily tasks, exercise, not overdoing caffeine or sugar, but it's not enough. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. (No therapy, can't afford) \n",

I am seeing a psychiatrist and am on 60 mg fluoxitine daily. My psychologist is using EMDR theraphy but recovery has been slow. One therapy homework I am given is to relearn what common acceptable reactions are when rats are encountered.\n\nIt has been years for me trapped in a fearful and avoidance cycle and I no longer recall what acceptable reactions are. Can I ask the kind souls here to understand what would you do when -\n\na) you see a rat on the path you are walking towards?\n\nb) a rat suddenly jumps out and touched you or your shoe?\n\nc) you touched or kicked a rat baiting station on the floor by accident? \n\nMy ocd will have me washing compulsively and avoiding any place where rats have been seen forever. This has been crippling and causing me depression.\n\nSincerely grateful and hope to receive any help here.\n\n",

"content": "I'm mature, I've been told. For my age and for my peers. I've been pressured my whole life to continue this, by myself and my family and fine, until it starts to backfire- I now have a friend group all a grade or two above me because I find myself bored with my grade and people closest to my age, and I also recently learned that high maturity also happens because of childhood trauma! yay! I won't get into that but I definitely have more older friends than younger. \n\nSo this is nice, I found friends where I'm with my academic level and maturity level, until my brain went \"actually we need to go back to being a kid, that feels more safe than this lifetime of anxiety i think I'm gonna have now\" and I had a scary experience with age regression for about an hour and my friends didn't know how to help, I thought I was ten and i was so confused but still knew I wasn't actually ten. Not DID, I still remember all of it which I believe isn't something that happens much with DID. so I'm wanting to grow up and escape my house but I'm doing it too fast and it feels like I'm being pulled in two different directions, be a safe happy kid and forget about my anger towards my dad or grow up and get out? I still have a couple years at home, I can't. Neither is a good option, but both are what I want.\n\nAnd now comes Halloween. Im a bit old but I still have a year of trick or treating in me I know. But my friends are either doing nothing or going on single dates and these are my only friends, there are others but I don't trust them at all and I'm masking so hard around them. \n\nI want to at least do something with my friends, the ones that aren't going on dates, but i feel anxious and overwhelmed with asking because it's just three of us left, my boyfriend and my cousin. i don't want my cousin to feel like a third wheel but I want my boyfriend to be there, he's still both me and my cousin's (my cousin is also my best friend) friends\n\nI'm just too young for this and too old and too scared and too skfnfbfjdekirirjsjejr I don't know\n",

"content": "Today me and @darkerplaces discussed Anxiety and Depression. It was a lovely session, here's my post-session post, with a recap, some reflection, an activity, and some resources.\n\nFor those who are interested but missed the session, here is a quick recap of what we discussed: \n\n \t* What is depression? \n \t* What are its symptoms? \n \t* How do anxiety and depression affect one another?\n \t* What should you ask yourself when getting anxious?\n\nFeel free to comment below <3\n\nFurther self reflection, for attendees and non-attendees: \n\n \t* What do you usually do to stop depression-spirals/episodes?\n \t* What do you do to stop anxiety episodes?\n \t* What would you say if a friend told you they were having a hard time with anxiety and/or depression?\n \t* When was the last time you had an anxious-depressive episode, and what fixed it?\n\nPlease feel free to post your responses!\n\nSome activities you can try!\n\n \t* Most people say music help calms their anxiety, try making a playlist of at least 5 songs that you enjoy listening to when anxious.\n \t* Some people enjoy eating comfort food when depressed. What is your go to comfort food? (for the chat it was chicken sandwiches) I found it was helpful to make a list of my top 5 comfort foods\n\nResources/Real World Application- Mental Health Kits:\n\nOften times when we feel depressed and anxious, we just want some self care. What i found helps is having a mental health kit like this site explains: https://guardiansmh.org/mental-health-kits\n\nMy mental health kit contains some of the following, but here are some ideas. If you make one try putting it in a tin of some sort by your bed. These are quick feel-good grabs. \n\nIdeas: \n\n \t* stress toys\n \t* coloring supplies\n \t* chocolate\n \t* nice scented lotion\n \t* a stuffed animal you love \n \t* a book to read\n \t* a DVD\n \t* a craft \n \t* letters from friends\n \t* a letter to yourself\n \t* pictures of baby animals because why not hehe\n\nIf you have or made one, tell us whats in it!\n\nPeople who attended the session: @communitymodiris @communitymodfinn @creativefarm5925 @darknesssystem @decisivebanana7177 @kkbigfan @thelagoonsystem @sunnyskies1236 @kylersartspace \n\nPeople who are interested but unable to attend : @lovemymoonflowers @teenmorgan16 @powerandsunset25 @cielsyvin @healingtalk @gymdionrowan @yesimesen @eddieflwwrboii \n\nWant to join in? we host every Monday at 3pm est in anxiety support! and for adults and members unable to attend we do a forum afterwards.

"content": "So this may seem like a very silly/childish story but I’m still sharing it. So I’m the type of girl who always thought relationships/marriages were a waste of time and living alone and independence was better option. This was actually based on what type of environment I grew up in and watching my parents’ relationship. (They had a forced arranged marriage, my mother was a teacher from back then to now and my father was unemployed back then and really greedy for money, they used to fight a lot and still do, growing up I had to face a lot of physical & abuse). I only had a crush on one guy my entire life back in the 6th grade and he was a jerk! He treated me really bad, said bad things about me just because I liked him and he didn’t like me back. Anyways, 5 years later I had another crush on this guy, he was a batch mate, a really nice guy, very charming and he reads books just like me, he’s very understanding and a really good friend, very positive. I fell really deeply for him for like 2 years. I even used to pray for him that’s how deeply I fell for him. He never treated me badly or anything infact he was always nice to me, to everyone. But his friends didn’t like me and didn’t like the fact that I liked him so they messed up with me a lot. They spread rumors about me, involve me in other people’s drama and did a lot of wrong things that even involved my family. And threatened me to never defend/speak up for myself cuz if I do, they’ll ruin my reputation to the guy I fell for. Back then I was very vulnerable and I kept quite cuz I didn’t want my family to know about that guy nor did I want that guy to believe anything bad about me. While all these dramas were happening, I got to see who my real friends were and who weren’t. I was in a friend group for all my life, basically for the past 7+ years I was best friends with them and it turned out they were the backstabbers! They knew what was happening and still didn’t help just cuz they were entertained of the dramas and didn’t want themselves included. I left them. All of them. It was a one night decision. Once day I had these best friends for the past 7+ years and the next day I was all alone. But I was happy. I was relieved. I was free. Free from all the dramas, all the bad influences. After that I realised how much they changed me to turn into them and how toxic our friendship actually was and how awfully jealous they were of my success. It’s been a year that I left them and unfollowed the guy I was insane for and stopped thinking about him. One thing i still wonder is that : the guy didn’t like me back and everyone knew I liked him thus all of his friends treated me soo badly just for liking him. He never stopped them or anything. He didn’t say anything, he just let them treat me like that. I get it he’s not interested but why would a guy let his friends mistreat a girl just cuz she liked him?\n",

"content": "I never thought I would have to face career anxiety because I’m one of those people who makes a lot of lists and plans even if things don’t go as planned. So of course my career plans were made since childhood. I wanted to became a doctor since I was very young. I am a cancer survivor. I had it when I was 4 years old. I grew up among patients and doctors and spent my entire childhood in hospitals fighting cancer and watch other people fight it or fail. My treatment was successful and now I’m a 19 year old (soon to be 20) and an A level candidate. Pursuing a medical life was the only thing that kept pushing me forward and motivated me to keep achieving my study goals. I’ve been working on it since childhood. In our country we need to have all 3 science subjects (physics, biology, and chemistry) for medical exam and I’ll need to sit for the exam within next year. But I didn’t do well on my A level so I’ll need to repeat all of them again. I had 4 subjects (Phy,chem,bio,math) but since I’ll need to repeat and I’ll have to complete A level within next year (otherwise I won’t be able to get into any good universities) I had to drop one subjects. I would’ve dropped math but I love maths and did well in exam but I hate physics and did really bad in Phy exam so I dropped it. Now that I don’t have physics, I cannot pursue a medical life anymore. Me and my family did very critical thinking and came to this conclusion and I was fine the past couple days. But someone said “you’re the only dedicated person I’ve seen with such inspiring story to be a doctor” that struxk me and now I’m getting really anxious on whether I made a mistake or not and if not then what am I gonna study now? What am I gonna be career wise? What’s gonna push me forward to keep going now? And I see my friends and classmates pursue their medical and it makes me very emotional and regretting. I don’t know what to do now.\n",

Few minutes later i didn't find the dress but i was called to eat breakfast.\n\nI thought its just gonna be fine, but my dad still proceeds to rant on how i was an irresponsible child and id be so poor if he and my mom was gone. I didn't argue back i just ate silently, then my dad talked about my past mistakes and on how i was a '***' for not accepting my teacher's recommendations in some extra curricular in school.\n\nI got offended and told him that im not entering an activity that i was forced to do and uncomfortable with it. My dad took it as a disrespect and threw his fork in my way (good thing it didn't hit my face) and threatening me to get out of the house if i spoke one more word.\n\nSo that's why i don't open up to people and voice out my opinions.

"content": "Today in our discussion, me and rome (@darkerplaces) discussed Self Care. I would just like to share a bit about this self care app I've been using for 508 days now. It is called Finch. \n\nWhen you start off, you get a birb, mine is named Thalia. you choose tasks or activities to do every day. Mine include drinking water, taking a shower, getting out of bed, doing something i enjoy, and listening to my favorite song. If you complete the task, you get energy and also little gems. The energy goes to send your finch out on a journey, where they learn likes and dislikes, and all about life! the energy also goes to a monthly event, where this month, if you do 25 self care days, you get a piggy micropet to follow your birb around. You can also choose one actitivty (my current one is showering) and if you do that goal 7 times, you get a lil micro pet to be with your birb. I also mentioned you earn gems. These gems can be used to buy items for your house, or outfits, or tickets to explore new places! Every week you will get a recap of your weekly tasks that you've done, your check ins, and your status. you do not get penalized for not completing any tasks <3\n\nI will add pictures of thalia in a bit. \n\nAny fellow finchers? share a picture of your birb!\n\ni hope this helps and maybe you can start using it to!\n\nTagging people who attended the session : \n\n@darknessSystem @Limegreenwest2530 @kylersartspace @kafu \n\nTagging people who have been interested in our general post: \n\n(note i will most likely make weekly posts of things to go along with our session, such as resources, if you don't want to be tagged, let me know) \n\n@lovemymoonflowers @teenmorgan16 @waterfallsofnature36 @rainsylvin @Healingtalk @GwydionRowan @YesemEsen @Eddieflwwrboi @cactussflowerr\n",

"content": "Anxiety attacks can be incredibly overwhelming. \n\nThey are characterised by a sudden surge of intense fear or discomfort, and can be accompanied by physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, and trembling. Although they can feel incredibly isolating, it's important to remember that you're not alone, and there are techniques that can help. Here's a guide to calming an anxiety attack:\n\n1. Grounding Techniques: Grounding helps bring you back to the present moment. Here are some techniques to try:\n\n - 5-4-3-2-1: Identify five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.\n\n - Hold an object: Focus on its texture, temperature, weight, and other physical qualities.\n\n2. Deep Breathing: This can help slow your heart rate and calm your mind. Try inhaling for a count of four, holding for a count of four, and exhaling for a count of four.\n\n3. Challenge Negative Thoughts: Anxiety often comes with a rush of negative and irrational thoughts. Challenge them by asking:\n\n - Is this thought true?\n\n - Is there evidence to support it?\n\n - What's the worst that could happen? And what's more likely to happen?\n\n4. Remind Yourself: Tell yourself that this is an anxiety attack and it will pass. You've gotten through them before and you will get through this one as well.\n\n5. Find a Calm Environment: If possible, step away from an overwhelming environment. This could be a quiet room or even just a few moments outdoors.\n\n6. Use Distraction Techniques: Engage in an activity that requires your attention. This can be anything from counting backwards, coloring, or focusing on a simple task.\n\n7. Seek Comfort: Talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling. Sometimes, just vocalising your feelings can be therapeutic.\n\n8. Avoid Caffeine and Sugar: These can exacerbate anxiety. Instead, drink water or herbal tea.\n\n9. Use Positive Affirmations: Say positive affirmations to yourself, such as \"I am safe,\" \"This too shall pass,\" or \"I am in control.\"\n\n10. Seek Professional Help: If you're experiencing frequent anxiety attacks, it might be time to seek help from a professional, such as a therapist or counsellor. They can provide coping mechanisms tailored to you.\n\nRemember, everyone is different and some techniques might work better for you than others. It's about finding what's most effective for you. Most importantly, be gentle with yourself. Anxiety attacks can be challenging, but with the right tools and support, they can become more manageable.\n",

"content": "Hello everyone, I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.\n\nA couple of weeks ago we discussed: What are your main sources of stress in your life? [https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/WeeklyPrompt18Whatareyourmainsourcesofstressinyourlife_313806/] Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts for discussion. I enjoyed them. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/WeeklyPrompt18Whatareyourmainsourcesofstressinyourlife_313806/]\n\nThis week's prompt: Participate in the Visualize to Actualize Exercise (V2A) with us! \n\nAs we were discussing how stress is keeping us occupied and how overwhelming it feels, I wanted to share a technique that you may find helpful to manage stress. It's called the Visualize to Actualize Exercise, and it's a practice that combines visualization and action to help you overcome the challenges and anxieties that life throws at you. This exercise can be a game-changer for you, and I hope you can find it helpful. \n\nWhy this exercise is so effective? \n\n \t* Because it taps into the subconscious mind. When you visualize your desired outcome, you're sending a clear message to your subconscious that this is what you want to manifest in your life. And by consistently taking action aligned with that vision, you are reinforcing that message and creating positive momentum.\n\n \t* It helps you stay focused, motivated, and resilient in the face of challenges. \n \t* It also brings a sense of clarity and purpose to your actions, making you more effective in achieving your goals.\n\nSo, what is the V2A Exercise? \n\nIt is a simple and powerful process that involves creating a vivid imagination (a mental image) of a desired outcome and then taking inspired action to bring that image to life. It's all about harnessing the power of your mind to manifest positive change in your life. Let's practice it together! \n\n \t* Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax and focus. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Now, visualize the situation or aspect of your life that is causing you stress. See it clearly in your mind's eye, and acknowledge the emotions that come up. \n \t* Next, imagine the ideal outcome or resolution for that situation. Picture it in as much detail as possible. How does it look? How does it feel? What does it sound like? Immerse yourself in this vision, allowing yourself to fully experience the positive emotions associated with it.\n\n \t* Now, here comes the crucial part: take inspired action. Think about small steps you can take to move towards your desired outcome. Break it down into manageable tasks and commit to taking action on them. The key is to align your actions with the vision you've created in your mind.\n\nFor example, let's say you're stressed about a work project. Visualize yourself successfully completing the project ahead of the deadline, receiving praise from your peers, and feeling a sense of accomplishment. Now, think about the specific actions you need to take to make this vision a reality. It could be creating a detailed project plan, delegating tasks, or seeking help from a mentor. Take those actions and keep moving forward.\n\nPoints to remember: \n\n \t* V2A is not about wishful thinking or relying solely on the power of your thoughts. It is about combining visualization with intentional action. By aligning your mind and actions, you are creating a powerful force that can help you overcome stress and achieve your goals.\n \t* Dealing with stress is not a one-size-fits-all solution. What works for one person may not work for another. \n \t* It won't bring you instant outcomes and it is a process that involves small steps. \n \t* The initial outcome might not be the same as you visualized but with practice and inspired actions, you will be able to get closer to the visualized outcomes.\n\nRemember, stress is a natural part of life, but it doesn't have to control you. So, let's practice V2A together and kickstart the practice! I want us to respond to the following questions: \n\n \t* What is causing you stress lately? For ease of practice, please name only one stress. \n \t* What will be the ideal outcome if you will be focused? \n \t* What are the 3 small steps you can start with? \n\nIf you experience a challenge responding to any of the above questions, please know it is okay. Share what you can and we will work together to practice it! \n\nJoin us in the Anxiety Support Chat every Monday and Tuesday!

"content": "Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great morning/dat/evening 😊.\n\nSo, I wanted to vent a little, and ask for some advice if you can provide it. I'm currently having a lot of responsibilities, and my mind is just fogged. I have a pile of work to do, calls to make, bills to pay, but I cannot bring myself to really start any of them, and deadlines are just getting closer.\n\nWhenever I'm about to start one task, I find myself procrastinating and getting distracted with some videogame, video or read. I will suddenly get hungry and go grab some snack \"to focus\" (of course, I don't). Every single, little task will take forever for me to make. Take a shower? Be in the bathroom for 1 hour. Dinner? 1.5 hours. This keeps going until, you guessed, it's suddenly 2AM and I need to go to sleep. Very little was done during the day.\n\nNow, I know I have anxiety issues like not really liking making phone calls, so whatever task requires me to do those I will drag it. The rest of the tasks I will overthink and overworry about their future outcome; \"do I really have enough time to make this sculpture?\" \"I want to try using a new method but what if it fails? I would have wasted money and time\". The thought of wasting anything terrifies me and takes over my mind, freezing me.\n\nQuick example: I'm currently in charge of my condo building maintenance. We have had not public water supply this past week so very probably I will have to call a private supplier tomorrow to fill the water reservoir. I'm already dreading that. But, to make it worse, my brother left an open sink faucet for almost half an hour and I got REALLY mad about it. We have a water shortage and he goes and just casually forgets an open faucet!! But, anyhow, even after I explained to him why this was really bad, now I'm obsessing over that incident, imagining all the ways I could have stopped it from happeninh (yes, I make everything my responsibility :/ ). Even tomorrow I know I will be thinking on how I could have noticed the open faucet sooner and saved us way more water.\n\nSo, all of these thoughts just get one over the other: anticipation, thinking of fixing errors, second guessing. I'm just so tired.\n\nIs there any method you can share to break this damn cycle? I feel like I'm rolling downhill trying to grab something but everything just slips my hand. I need something to stop for a moment and regroup myself :'( .\n\nThat's the end of my rant. Thank you all for reading me and for the advice you can provide.\n",

"content": "Hello to anyone who reads this! A little backstory, I graduated high school in June 2023 and instead of going to college like I was supposed to, I decided to take a gap year and get my first job to save money for college because the tuition was out of my budget and didn't want to take any loans and have student debt on my back for years. I've been putting the application progress off for months because I've never really had a job before, just some side jobs of babysitting for family friends and neighbors. Just last month I finally finished my resume, but I still put off applying to jobs because I was terrified of the interview and actually having to talk to new people everyday. Also, the realization of growing up and actually being and adult was completely scary on another level. I recently started applying last week and I got my first ever interview tomorrow, but just thinking about it is making my hands shake and heart beat faster. I currently can't sleep. It also doesn't help that I have to step out of my routine and go on a new bus route. Does anyone have any tips to calm my nerves? Or any tips for the interview? It's a good job with tuition benefits as well, but when my anxiety is heightened I can't function, I stutter, my hands shake uncontrollably, I kind of sweat, and my mouth is very dry no matter how much water I drink. I'm worried I'll flake on the interview and won't get the job. Anyways if you read this thank you, I need tips any kind will help significantly :)\n",

I would become enraged and scream at him. It worked to get him to stop talking at me. Now I lose my temper often. He pushes pushes pushes me and I swallow it swallow it swallow it, responding calmly until finally it explodes out. I’ve learned to feel it coming and manage to make the words polite, but I scream it without intending to. I feel out of control. My son has picked up the behavior and yells at people who try to help him, even at kids in kindergarten. It’s awful that he’s doing it too. I’m trying to stop, but I don’t know how.
