Social anxiety popped up into my life when I was around the age of 11. I don't know why, there wasn't a specific event that triggered it, I just recall so many instances of feeling panicked when it came to talking to teachers or anyone.

But social anxiety can happen at any age and to anyone.

I created this image to show what it feels like to have social anxiety. It's like all of these sentences are bouncing around in my brain all at once. It's exhausting. If this feels relatable to you, I just want you to know that you're not alone.

You're not alone if you feel self-conscious about every word and movement, or like you need to rehearse every conversation.

Is there something on this list that you struggle with more than others?

*As with everything mental health related YMMV and this is not a diagnostic tool.

I got laid off

Two months ago, I got a promotion at my job. Higher salary and, above all, a boost to my self-esteem. I was performing well; feedback from everywhere was amazing. Everyone I worked with loved me, and the company recognized my dedication and rewarded me with a promotion!

I was happy and satisfied. I enjoyed a nice trip with my girlfriend to Venice (we live in the Netherlands, and I'm Italian).

My career was going well. I had found a job that I loved and excelled at.

One month ago, I got laid off. Apparently, my company has two heads that don't communicate with each other. One head is the managers who actually do the job and work with people; the other head is the stakeholder-pleasers who don't care at all about people, but just about numbers.

The US didn't reach the quota this year, so let's cut all the EU market. It doesn't matter how well they're doing; they are too small in comparison.

And the people who work there?

Probably the answer to this question was: Who?

We got laid off—me, my team, other European teams. All our work, planning, and energy didn't mean enough.

It happened in a few hours. One minute I was enjoying my first salary after the promotion, and the next minute I was crying because I would soon be kicked out of the system.

I feel like I fell from the top of a building.

Everybody around me is saying not to worry, that I'll find another job, that I'm qualified, and everything will be good.

The truth is, nothing is good. I feel like shit. I have Rejection Sensitivity, so you can imagine how fun it is to receive tons of rejection emails for your applications.

And what about the tips about CVs, cover letters, and all the different application methods that exist? One goes against the other, and you're left more confused than ever.

People are telling me to take it easy, that I have time and I just started my application process, but I'm not good, I'm not feeling good. Then I think: what the fuck has this world made us become? Why do I feel so worthless when I didn't even get fired? I was a good worker, but still, it wasn't enough. Why can't I help but think that without a job, I'm nobody?

The absurd thing is that I would never think this of any of the people I know. People I love, including my girlfriend, have gone through periods when they didn't have a job and needed to find a new one. During those times, never, even for a second, did it occur to me to judge them or think less of them because they didn't have a job. So, why am I so hard on myself? Why can't I take all of this with more serenity? What's wrong with me?

I've opened this blog just to vent and let my thoughts out. I wanted to come across as a bit more funny, but today is not a very good day. Hopefully, I'll soon sharpen my "virtual pen."

Can anybody relate? Have you gone through it? Any suggestions? Anybody else need support?

As someone who studied MSc in Psychology and spends a fair share amount of time reading research for my blog. I wanted to create something simple, yet entertaining for people who struggle with anxiety, yet for whatever reason they are unable to visit CBT.

Although I call this my first book, it is a mix of book and journal. Two-thirds of it is exercises that anyone who has anxiety or feels unease can use to relieve their worries. If you like my content and want to support me outside of the Sims, I would be infinitely grateful if you check out my book. And if you decide to buy it, please, feel free to share your opinion. I always appreciate reviews and suggestions!

Signs of Panic Disorder: Understanding the Symptoms

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by sudden and repeated episodes of intense fear, known as panic attacks. These episodes can be overwhelming and may occur unexpectedly or be triggered by specific situations. Recognizing the signs of panic disorder can help individuals seek timely professional care.

Common Signs of Panic Disorder

1. Chest Pain

Many individuals experiencing a panic attack report chest pain or discomfort. This pain can feel sharp or like a heavy pressure on the chest, sometimes mimicking the symptoms of a heart attack. While chest pain can have various medical causes, its occurrence during an episode of extreme fear or anxiety may indicate a panic disorder.

2. Dizziness

A feeling of lightheadedness, dizziness, or even fainting is a frequent symptom of panic attacks. This can be due to hyperventilation, rapid heart rate, or the body’s fight-or-flight response, which affects blood circulation and oxygen levels in the brain.

3. Sweating Excessively

Excessive sweating, even when the environment is not warm, is a common symptom of panic disorder. It is a response to heightened stress levels and an overactive nervous system during an episode.

4. Rapid Heartbeat

An increased heart rate, often described as a pounding or racing heartbeat (palpitations), is one of the most distressing symptoms of panic attacks. The sudden rush of adrenaline in the body can cause the heart to beat faster, contributing to feelings of fear and discomfort.

5. Shortness of Breath

People experiencing a panic attack may feel like they are struggling to breathe or choking. This shortness of breath often leads to hyperventilation, making the panic attack feel even more intense.

6. Nausea or Stomach Pain

Anxiety and panic attacks can affect the digestive system, leading to nausea, stomach pain, or even digestive disturbances like bloating or diarrhea. These symptoms are common in individuals who experience chronic anxiety.

7. Chills or Hot Flashes

During a panic attack, people may experience sudden changes in body temperature, leading to chills or hot flashes. These sensations can be uncomfortable and add to the distress of the situation.

8. Shaking or Trembling

Trembling or uncontrollable shaking is another common symptom of panic attacks. It results from the body's heightened state of alertness and can be accompanied by muscle tension or weakness.

Seeking Professional Help

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms frequently, it may be a sign of panic disorder. Seeking timely intervention from a mental health professional can help manage the condition effectively.

Pawsitive Effects: The Benefits of CBD for Cats

CBD, short for cannabidiol, has gained popularity for its potential health benefits in humans, but did you know it can also offer a range of advantages for our feline companions? CBD for cats has been making waves as a natural supplement that may promote overall well-being and support various aspects of their health. In this article, we explore the remarkable benefits of CBD for cats, highlighting its potential to provide relief, relaxation, and a higher quality of life.

Facts about CBD for Cats:

Soothing Stress and Anxiety:

CBD may help calm anxious cats by interacting with their endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood and stress response.

It can be particularly beneficial in reducing stress caused by changes in the environment, separation anxiety, or fear-inducing situations.

Supporting Joint Health:

Cats, especially senior ones, may experience joint stiffness or discomfort. CBD's anti-inflammatory properties may help alleviate these issues and improve mobility.

By promoting joint health, CBD can enhance your feline friend's overall comfort and happiness.

Enhancing Overall Wellness:

CBD's potential holistic benefits extend to various aspects of a cat's well-being, including appetite stimulation, immune system support, and improved sleep patterns.

It can also help maintain a healthy coat and skin, thanks to its potential anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects.
