It's All Too Much

Day 3 of @loceitweek, even more rushed than the others so far. I really should be in bed right now. Oh well. Enjoy! 💛💙

Masterpost | Loceit Week 2023 Masterpost | Ao3

Summary: Logan doesn't understand his homework, Janus stops him from freaking out about it.

Content Warnings: Anxiety Spiral

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan stared at the pages before him, holding back tears. This should be easy for him, it had always been easy so far, so why was he struggling so much? He wiped his eyes and tried to refocus on the start of the page again. Maybe if he read it one more time it would make sense.

It didn’t.

He couldn’t understand it.

He was going to fail.

First this course and then his degree, he knew it, he-

“Hey.”

A firm voice pulled him out of his spiraling thoughts. He looked up to see Janus, a fellow student and acquaintance of his, standing next to him, watching him with concern in his eyes.

“I think you need a break, Logan.”

He shook his head. He needed to finish this, he had a schedule, he couldn’t-

“It can wait, Logan. This isn’t due until next week and you are clearly overworked. Let me treat you to a coffee and we will work on it together afterwards if you really want to get it done today.”

Logan hesitated. Coffee wasn’t part of his schedule. It wasn’t even healthy to drink at this hour.

“It can be something other than coffee. You just need to step away from this for a moment.”

Is Janus reading his mind? He’s not talking out loud, his mouth is too dry for him to say anything.

“You are so much easier to read than you think, darling,” Janus chuckled, placing a hand on his shoulder and using the other to close the textbook in front of him. “And I have good intuition, so I can guess what most people are thinking.”

That was plausible, he thought. But he still wasn’t sure about taking an unscheduled break.

“Logan, please.”

Why were those words so much more convincing than anything else Janus had said?

He nodded, closing the notebook that still laid in front of him. Then he reached for his water bottle and took a long drink. The cool liquid felt so refreshing, and he finally felt his words return to him.

“Thank you, Janus.”

“No problem. I want my future firm partner to be in best shape after all,” he joked, and Logan couldn’t help but smile. Yes, working together with Janus sounded like a promising future.

Anxiety Thoughts 1

The terrible thing about having anxiety is that, even when things go well or work out, or especially when good things happen, instead of enjoying it or feeling more optimistic, you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Like the good thing or pleasant thing is a precursor to something horrible happening -- like the calm before the storm. Like the universe is just waiting for you to relax and let your guard down before dropping the next boulder on your head.

...And sometimes, it feels like the other shoe must drop since how else would you ever earn the good thing that happened? How else would the regular balance of your life be maintained? (Because when enough trouble happens consistently in your life, you begin to think 1 positive thing to 100 negative things is the automatic balance for your life.)

I don’t really get the people who tell me to not “overshare” my trauma to everyone because I need to “protect” myself… because all I know is me being honest and open has saved atleast 5 people and has changed several others around me into thinking before saying something. So yeah I’m going to tell everyone abt the horrors I’ve faced, in the hopes that atleast one of them will know not to unintentionally hurt another person and atleast one of them will feel less lonely.

uh major cw in this one, procede with extreme caution. anxiety spiraling about potential traumas and memory loss.

i feel like im sitting here overanalyzing this and looking for some sort of trauma to explain my life when i already have enough trauma and am valid but at the same time my brain refuses to hear that and searches for more trauma and to pinpoint exactly when i started having did but thats literally not possible to do.

im thinking about the fact that i used to refer to my dad's friend as my boyfriend, and how i was really grossly close to him, and im. im scared that theres something there ive forgotten. bc i dont have any specific memories with him. even with when ive seen him as an older human being, my brain doesn't /see/ him. like, i can see others in certain memories, like family friends and old friends, but his face just becomes a blur. i can recognize him when i see him, but if you were to ask me to tell you any of his features even after looking at a photo of him i couldn't tell you a thing.

like, with family friends i havent seen in a while i could describe them to you; their general physique, their hair, a unique trait they have, something, ya know? but with him, even after directly looking at a picture of the two of us together his face just. disappears.

i dunno, i might just be overanalyzing things and it might be fine. i might just be searching for problems, might just be searching for some sort of tangible trauma for myself. but it also makes me feel sick thinking about him. i dont. i dont know. im scared ive forgotten something.

genuinely fighting unholy thoughts and spiraling so hard bc going to college unlocked an irrational fear towards people and interacting with them. And now i'm doubting my friends and my ability to continue to try functioning as a "normal" student, but i'm too much of a mess to really know how to get help and i don't know if i can force myself to trust anybody in my social circle enough.

In JH/HS I had a friend, Tina, who was a terrible friend, but who once gave me advice about anxiety that I use to this day. It was 1986, for context. I had/have massive health anxiety so I'm sharing Bad Friend Tina's advice for everyone now.

I was stressing over "I think I have ~*~disease~*~ what if I have ~*~disease?~*~" and Tina said, "What if, what if? What if Jon Bon Jovi was sitting on your roof, and his dick was long enough to swing down and slap you in the face?" Initially I was mad at her for brushing me off, but now that I'm older, I see the wisdom. So these days when I start "What if" spiraling, I think, "What if Jon Bon Jovi was sitting on the roof and his dick was long enough to swing down and slap you in the face" and I can't really argue with that. So thank you, Bad Friend Tina.

Everything is too much right now. I've pulled myself thin trying to be what others need. I don't know how to ask for the same effort back. Especially with my wife. I love her with my whole being. But sometimes I feel more like a placeholder for her. Until she finds someone better. Someone who is less of an emotional wreck, who has confidence and does not need constant validation. In the beginning I felt like the most important person in her life. Now I am second to everything else. I don't know what to do or how to fix it.

TW: alcohol, getting sick

So, I am 26. Ive been drinking since I was 21. Until this weekend, I had never gotten sick from drinking too much. I genuinely prided myself on that fact. Like, I considered myself better than other people because of it because I never had to learn my tolerance the hard way. Which Im aware isn't the best way to view myself but I have a SEVERE phobia of people getting sick in that way, that is founded on the irrational thought that people who are getting sick aren't doing enough to prevent it. (Its based on the... countless times Ive been explicitly told by people they would make themselves sick on purpose)

But... friday I did everything I normally do. I ate a large dinner. I didn't drink any more than I usually do, or any faster than I usually do. I drank water as soon as I started feeling the alcohol at all. And I still ended up sick on my front porch steps. Its now Sunday and my stomach still hurts and Im still scared every time I eat or drink anything despite being able to eat and drink just fine yesterday.

I just. Its literally all I can think about. Im anxious as fuck. I feel like Im spiralling but don't know how to stop it. And i don't know how to ever feel okay about myself again

Is it just me or does everyone with high social anxiety stop hearing properly in scary settings and hence have to lipread or ask them to repeat their words again

Currently fighting the desire to self-sabotage because at least then I’d feel something…being self-aware and logical sucks…
