#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

If you have watched inside out 2- uh-

Thoughts on these 2 sillies? Not as a pair but like the characters themselves

I like them a very normal amount

Ennui and Anxiety my beloveds 💜🧡

I have watched inside out 2! (I seriously loved that movie so much 💛❤️💙💚💜🧡🩷🩵)

I really liked those two!! 🧡💜

I liked seeing Anxiety doing the things she did to help Riley (even if she ended up pushing her way too far and not really helping out :,)) it was realistic to see her obsess over every little thing Riley did and how the decisions she made in the movie would impact Riley in the future (I also love how Envy was basically her right hand man. She was just cheering on Anxiety the whole time, until the end of the movie of course)

Ennui was pretty funny, I liked how she was just bored the whole time and messed on her phone XD

I love them (and the movie) a totally normal amount too. It’s not like I was so obsessed with the first one as a kid and watching the second one made me fall in love with the franchise again 😇😇

[adaines-furious-feast]

hey you like stepfather jace, but what about

actually adaine's father, jace

adaine, who has the one weird elvish ending, that the rest of the family doesn't wen/wyn versus adaine's -e.

and jace, who has the same -e suffix.

adaine, who has always felt different from her family and she *is* different. she's not an abernant

and jace, who maybe doesn't know it until the abernants leave. and now he's trying to pursue a custody case bc he's a better father than his or angwyn. and yet, he's still trying to ressurect a dead goddess and is in trouble w/ porter

idk i just think it would be an interesting wrinkle for them

Hey. You stop that (please never stop).

I'm rewatching sophomore year and so far (up to end of ep 11), Ragh has specified three times that it was Jace he saw talking to Arianwen. About what? Well, it's Arianwen telling him that Adaine's his daughter, obviously.

And at first Jace is fully ready to just scoop her up and take her in but then he finds out Jawbone beat him to the punch and Jawbone - who is an ex-drug dealer/addict with so much past - seems like a much better father than he could ever be. But he is never gonna let a kid think he abandoned them, even if it would be for the best.

Trying to figure out how he's going to go about this without making Adaine's life even worse. Meanwhile Porter's pissed because Jace is just so distracted. Like, one of the good things about Jace is that he doesn't really have anything serious going on in his life and now he has a daughter?

Anyway, Adaine ends up with two dads that love her (Jawbone and Jace in some weird shared custody arrangement) and maybe the events of junior year get avoided and maybe I have another thing to add to my to-write list.

new psychiatrist seems really cool

[foursidecity]

So funny to me rhat people are still hung up on how adrien and chat are like completly diffrent people when like. Marinette is the most clumsy disorganized unlucky girl in the world but she also ladybug: yknow, the magical lucky organized superhero that pulls random shit outta thin air and makes it work? like come on now

I've been looking for this one au where Len basically becomes a mad scientist and turns his friends into robots one by one for a while now, and I'm beginning to realize that I just read through your blog while half asleep a few months back and mixed together my memories of your flower hivemind and composite au

this is very funny to me. i'm absolutely honored this blog's posts were enough to evil-farming-game an entire vocaloid au into your memories 😂

i can give you this doodle; it's composite au but i'm sure it'd fit very well with this theoretical mad scientist len au lololl

"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.

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.

had a bad day at work yesterday

[frecklystars]

Wow, 32 asks. Thank you guys so much 😭😭 last night was one of the worst shifts I ever had at work. I feel like i keep reverting back to a year ago when everything was fresh. it's been extraordinarily difficult the past couple of months but it always eases the ache when I read nice messages. it genuinely calms me down a lot when other people tell me it's gonna be ok. so thank you to everyone who took the time to do that for me ;-;

I'm gonna be honest, I feel super hopeless. I am not getting joy from anything right now. Drawing, socializing, watching movies, listening to music, I'm feeling *absolutely nothing*. I am triggered by the SMALLEST fucking things that I thought I was getting better at handling. I'm having trouble wearing skirts again. I'm flinching around the color pink when I was doing SO much better with it. For the last nine days, I haven't gone three hours without having a panic attack. I'm not sleeping. My flashbacks are lasting longer. I'm having out of body experiences again for the first time in almost a year. I feel so hopeless. I told myself one year ago "hey I feel like I'm dying right now my ptsd is so fucking bad but! hey! one year from now, I'll feel better! this will feel so far away from me!" but I don't. I don't feel better. I don't think it's possible to feel better bc I'm too broken. It's been over a year and I don't feel like it's possible for me to make progress.

My Barbie/Ken anniversary is coming up and I was excited for the first couple of weeks, but right now I just... feel absolutely nothing. I am so, so, so severely depressed and my anxiety is getting worse every day. I need help out of my unsafe situation so fucking bad dude it's just gonna kill me. I'm so scared this whole thing is gonna genuinely kill me. I wish I could talk about it but I don't want to scare people but at the same time, it's so bad and it's weighing on me so heavily and I am so fuckign tired of dealing with this every single day

I don't know if I'm gonna go offline or not, bc my problem isn't even online. so... I don't see how being offline would help much. I just feel like I'm supposed to do SOMETHING, literally ANYTHING to feel something. Going offline last time made me feel significantly worse, so maybe that shouldn't be my next step. But I feel nothing when I'm blogging right now. I tried making a Jacob edit the other day and I felt no joy. I want to be filling up my queue for the 21st, all of my Barbie and Ken photos and gifsets. I should be writing Barbie and Ken love notes. I should be making video edits again! but I feel nothing!!! This is the one and only anniversary that actually matters to me this year - sorry to the other 12 Ryan F/Os who have anniversaries but THIS ONE is THE most important one, because these two characters are the F/Os that have helped me the most with my abuse trauma/cptsd. They're the whole reason why I started self shipping again. I want to celebrate that. I want to be excited about it. I am just so fucking numb.

I NEED to feel something for this anniversary, I miss celebrating F/O anniversaries! I don't get to do that anymore since self shipping was ruined for me! Since my main F/Os were ruined for me! I deserve to have a good time with my new F/Os!! I am a good person and I am kind despite all the bullshit I've been through and I work really hard to try to heal from shit! I try to stay positive and I try to help people and I!!! Deserve!! To have a day where I feel good with my F/Os without reliving every single horrifying vile thing that someone did to me! but I feel so empty right now and it hurts! I was excited a couple of weeks ago when I was planning all the activities i was gonna do on the 21st, like a restaurant and a movie and baking and throwing a party with my friends, but now?? Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING in my heart. I feel so goddamn empty. I am so depressed. I really really feel like I can't get better. It's been over a year and I am incapable of healing from my trauma and I don't know what to do about it. I am trying so many things to heal!! I'm going walking, I'm eating way healthier and cutting sugar to see if that helps clear my head a bit more, I'm getting sun, I'm drinking so much water, I'm exercising, I've cut my screen time significantly and reading more often, I'm hanging out with my friends as much as I can, I am trying everything in the book and I feel like a zombie just sitting here and rotting to death, going through the motions and reliving my trauma in my head over and over and over and over and over and over again and I can't get any fucking peace. It's like everybody in the world is living their days while the planet is spinning but I am stuck in the same spot reliving the most horrific bullshit imaginable over and over and over. I feel like I've lost almost 2 years of my life to trauma. I don't feel like I've aged, I feel like everything happened yesterday. I feel like I'm stuck in one spot while everybody else is walking forward and I can't move.

Sorry to ramble I didn't mean to turn this into a vent post but idk what else to do. I don't know if I should go offline on my actual anniversary or maybe a couple of days leading up to it?? Or maybe I'm supposed to BE online and blog about the F/Os to see if that helps me feel better?? Being offline made me feel worse. But being online isn't helping me either. Dude I don't fucking know. I need to work on some crafts or something. I need to make a BarbieLand diorama and paint it. I'm gonna bake heart shaped cookies for the first time this weekend. I'm gonna invite my friends over and we're gonna have a party on Sunday and watch the Barbie movie together. I don't know what else to do but I have to just... keep trying I guess even though I feel nothing while doing these things, it's better than doing nothing

If anyone has advice or something, it's more than welcome. Or even just a "wow, that's rough, buddy". I'm sorry for being negative, I try to remain positive on this hellsite but it's so hard right now. Thank you again to everyone who wrote me a nice message last night when I was hurting. I'm sorry I'm gonna probably be asking for encouraging messages a few more times in the next few weeks bc supportive messages are the only things that have been effectively (affectively?) helping me lately

[patron-saint-of-emesis]

todays concepts to grapple with are “accept Done over Perfect” and also “change is an inevitable constant”, both are very good sentiments that will better my life when i accept them, but it also means not restarting my crochet project and to stop staring at my face so hard in the mirror, and ima be real both of those r suck

[tenaciousmoneymuffinzine]

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:
