How to tell when your cup is empty:

in the next few days, we'll be going through a series on filling your own cup in fulfilling and healthy ways, starting with journaling ideas and finally picking our own activities. but first -- how do we know when our cup is empty? it's a little different for every individual, but there's often a few things you can familiarize yourself with to understand in your own physical and emotional space.

-- what is your 'cup?' your cup is your emotional, energetic, and often physical energy. think of waking up well rested and energized for a new day! now compare that feeling to the sensation of coming home after work after a long day, complexly drained and exhausted. this is the feeling of an empty cup. you might also feel....

~ fatigue. this is the most common symptom! often when your cup is empty, you're drained by emotional and energetic events. you have very little energy to give to yourself and others, which is why self-care becomes much more difficult when we're working on empty (often this translates to the physical as well -- we crave sweet and salty things to help boost our adrenal glands and combat fatigue.) this also leads to irritability, because our energy is so drained we revert to internal and external negativity.

~ a felt weight. when my cup is empty or dangerously close, I can feel a heavy sensation centering in my chest; almost this huge emptiness. it's good to create mindfulness around these sensations, because it helps heighten awareness of warning signs.

~ worry and anxiety. you might feel as though you're being helplessly pulled in different directions, without the time or energy to finish anything. you're trying to pour from a cup you haven't replenished!

questions to ask yourself:

~ when do I often feel empty?

~ what activities drain my cup?

~ do any of my own habits help drain my cup?

~ how do I give my energy away and fill other people's cups?

~ how do I feel afterwards?

~ what's my usual habit when my cup is running low? how do I instinctually try to fix it?

~ do those habits serve me well?

in the upcoming weeks, we'll be discussing ways to fill our cups and tweak our individual habits to serve us better :)) have a lovely day, and tune in soon!

drop any questions in the askbox :))

I have been diagnosed with severe generalised anxiety and for me, the safest place in the world would be in Aizawa's arms whenever I am having an anxiety attack. Because I just know that he would take the utmost care and give me all of his attention.

Soft caresses, sweet whispers, genuine compliments, soft kisses, slow head scratches, nose kisses, forehead kisses, tight hugs, and so on.

Absolute dream.

My husband makes fun of me for having new kdramas on in the background while I'm puttering around (because I can't read the subtitles if I'm not looking at the tv, obvs, so he says I can't understand it), BUT my logic is this: at times, I don't have the mental or emotional capacity to suffer the plot twists of new shows in English. The kdramas I choose are formulaic enough for me to know what's gonna happen without knowing what's happening. I know the girl's gonna get drunk/hurt and get a piggy back ride, I know the leads gonna have a moment in a playground, I know there's gonna be a trying-on-cute-clothes montage, I know there's gonna be a relationship hiatus in the last episode, etc etc

It's familiar enough to be comforting, but new enough to be interesting. And if I do miss something important, like the girl tripping and conveniently falling into the leading man's arms, I know that it'll show the same event about 5 more times from different angles and various speeds 😊

For anxiety management I used to mentally hyperfixate on a specific “safe” movie. I mainly did this to help me sleep when I was panicking, but I’d wager it could work for other things, too. It really helped ground me. I try to mentally envision/play the entirety of a movie in my brain, and really focus on getting the order and details of each scene right. I used to do this with the Lego Movie a lot, but any comfort movie could work. Family-friendly movies are great for this because they generally contain less potentially triggering material than other films. Just trying to mentally “play” each movie scene correctly helped shift my focus from anxious thoughts, and I usually fell asleep two to three scenes in because I was so neurotic about getting every scene right. It’s a great distraction that has helped me out a lot. I hope it can help you too <3

howdy howdy! im just wondering if you suffer from social anxiety? and if you do, how do you handle it? hope you have a lovely start into the new week, take care!!

hi!

i suffered from severe social anxiety when i was younger (10-14) but i’ve gone through a lot of therapy to help me, so i’ve become better at handling it

for me personally it was a self-esteem issue. i thought so lowly of myself that i thought there was no way others didn’t think the same of me

once i started developing more self-confidence (i’m just hella manic), my social anxiety slowly started to become less impactful on my daily life

i switched to online about 4 1/2 years and that immensely helped give me the time to deal with my issues, especially since i was out of the environment that mainly fueled those issues

while i don’t suggest making a major life change straight away, i do propose that you reconsider what’s factoring into your social anxiety (certain situation, mindsets, places, people, etc) and think about making a change if possible

but when it comes to basic coping skills, deep breathing actually helped once i realized that all that is was wasn’t just breathing. it’s simplifying your environment, minimizing your thoughts, and clearing the world for just a moment

that sounds like a lot, but it’s really just about focus. truly just focus on breathing, and the rest comes with it

i hope this helps (my dm’s are open!) :)

Baby kitty loves you too 💜

You are loved, you are valued, you are not fighting alone 💖💗💖

Darkness has surrounded the enfeebled mind that resides in the broken innocence of a young girl

Introduced to a bone chilling atmosphere

She no longer had the simple thoughts of colors and numbers but that of a mature yet tormented adult

How can one live with themselves knowing they destroyed that?

So young yet she knew too much

Maybe , just maybe had that moment of realization ceased to exist would she be the demented being she is now?

Would she still have become the very vile people that ripped that from her?

Would she ?

The questions bounce around, shoving her mind even further into a familiar abyss

One would think it ends

But it doesn’t

Endlessly

Endlessly

Endlessly

Mortals continue to cause her harm

Why?

Was she not meant to reside on dirt and stone made from mankind?

Despite everything she experienced, she has a heart too pure yet broken so often

Retracting her trust, now her brain is scattered.

For all to see

But how many more will betray her ?

Break her ?

When will it end ?

The anxiety of not knowing who will hurt her next leaves her breathless

She panics and begs

“Don’t hurt me don’t hurt me, of everyone why you?”

Her eyes search for an answer, but she only senses selfish deception 

was it all meaningless ?

is she merely an escape for another human being to release their pain?

were all the promises fake ?

they numb her but get upset once she fights back.

they corner her yet get upset when she no longer stays quiet.

She shrieks in agony , unable to withstand anymore 

it grips on her heart, this fear.

The pain stripped her of the ability to feel like them

to feel like a human 

the words repeat in her mind over and over and over again.

Will everyone do the same?

it seems as though her entire existence is only undertaking the betrayal 

caged in by fear, yet who truly cares?

if it doesn't benefit them, do they truly want to be in her life?

“Who’s next?”

Does anyone have any advice for college anxiety? Like how do I stop myself from being so anxious. My classes start on September 6th and while that's basically a whole month a way it's approaching quickly. I'm so nervous about where I'm gonna sit, who I'm gonna talk to, and if I even belong there.

It's a community college so it's relatively small, I'm just so nervous. I'm practically going in alone bc I have only a few friends and most of them live far out or aren't going to college.

I know it's supposed to be exciting but what if my professor is a mean person? What if I somehow miss an assignment? See this is my anxiety rambling. I know I'm ready for college now, just so nervous.

Like the thought of college use to excite me but due to my depression and anxiety worsening, man idk it got bad lol.

So yea, any advice lmao
