So I have a nervous stim where I rub the palm of my hand and I’ve rubbed it completely raw. I’ve been really struggling to find a way to not do it so my hand can heal. I made this, super simple, single crochet in a round that fits around my hand, attach a chain around the thumb and then more single crochet. So far it’s worked pretty well. I can still rub it, and I don’t damage the skin more. So yeah this is a thing

hey witchblr. shit isn't well rn. I had a horrible panic attack last night. I'm scared I accidentally summon demons or anything like that. I'm scared of bringing spirits or something. I just want to practice herbalism and candle magic in peace :(

Got back student evaluations on the last semester. Usually any kind of evaluation makes me extremely anxious and has the possibility of ruining a day, a week, even a month or longer.
But not this time!! This time I was able to read the evals objectively, and dare I say it, I find myself eager to make improvements to my teaching next semester! Mostly I didn't make the rubric clear enough for how I graded assignments. That's an easy fix!
I honestly credit finally being on anxiety meds. They help me stay emotionally steady and it's honestly like being a whole new person. A normal person, who can read constructive criticism, not take it personally, and plan how to implement improvements.

i went to a party today with some friends from high school. i didn’t really want to go, but i had already committed to it. when i got there, i didn’t play the games i didn’t want to play or that were too overwhelming for me, i ate the snack i brought for myself without feeling guilty, and i left after just an hour of being there.
it’s okay to accommodate yourself at gatherings. leave when you want, bring things to make it easier, and don’t do things you don’t want to do.
it doesn’t make you rude.

I wanted the forever
I wanted it so badly I ignored the flags
I ignored my feelings, my boundaries, my standards
I ignored my needs and wants
I put everything before myself
I wanted a lifetime so badly with you
I lost myself slowly
I lost my thoughts
I lost my heart
I lost everything trying to keep forever

Today in Asr prayer in sujud, I knew I had to talk to Allah swt but I didn't know what to say. I just stayed there, forehead to the ground, thoughts racing and heart so heavy. Then I said, Ya Allah, they are back, the dark thoughts are back, the fear is back, I can feel it creeping back into my heart. Ya Allah, I know it is supposed to be faith > fear but the latter is taking over, please do not let it take over, please strengthen my faith, I need you to tie upon my heart and save me from my own mind, to save me from myself. [..] Relief came before Ishaa. :') He showed me He heard me and showed me He's got me. He showed me that I am never alone by His side. Indeed Allah is the most merciful, the most generous, the kindest 🤍

How I love living with anxiety mixed with growing up with hearing so much bad shit thrown at me.
I especially love feeling physically sick if I have to text certain people, like friends I don't text daily or those with whom I'm not super close.
The second I hit send I can hear my mother in my head telling me that the people who claim to be my friends actually aren't, they put up with me because they have to and because they feel bad or take pity on me.
"Oh it's been so long, we haven't talked in over a month" yeah because if I send you more than one text or one single text that is over three lines I feel like a burden and that I don't deserve your attention, that you should be doing better things.
Someone kill me please.

I know it works differently for everyone else, but with the form of high functioning anxiety that I have, some days, I do okay. In fact, I can get all kinds of shit done, because my anxiety doesn't allow me to sit still. Then there are days when I'm so exhausted physically and mentally that I can't even get dressed. I just walk around in my PJs all day, and lay in the bed because I'm mentally to tired to adult... Today is one of those exhausting days. If I take a long time to respond, just know I'm okay, I'm just tired. I'll get back to you, I swear.

Anyone have something I can do for anxiety before I get meds for it? Because idk when or if I can get meds for it. I’ve tried breathing exercises, meditation, and a lot of other things. I’m just really struggling rn and idk what to do?

Ok, new pixar movie idea: Elf Guts: an Onward prequel.
The story takes place in the world of Onward, but WAY before the quest. A time where Ian is a freshman, and Barley is a senior in high school.
One night while sleeping, Ian is struggling with scary thoughts about starting high school. All of the thoughts make his stomach ache really bad. The thoughts then become so overwhelming, he ends up throwing up in the toilet in the bathroom.
Things suddenly change for Ian since that night.
He struggles with so many things: his anxiety, fitting in at school, using a bathroom in public, speaking up, puberty, dealing life without a father, noise, gross-outs, and the urge to throw up when things get too overwhelming.
But with the help of his family, friends, and a friendly therapist, Ian soon learns how to manage his problems and face his fears. He later learns that they and other people too, have struggles and fears of their own.
Elf Guts is a coming-of-age comedy, teaching audiences and kids everywhere what life is like and how it feels living with anxiety.
Tagline: Anxiety Can Be A Pain In The Guts.

I wasn't made for the outside world
Every interaction I have with another human makes my heart ache
Everyone is so relaxed while I feel on display

Anxiety is when you want a pain au chocolat but when you're queuing to order and you start rehearsing your lines in your head you decide that saying 'pain au chocolat' will make you sound like a pretentious git, so you try again with 'chocolate croissant' but then you have to decide if you're going to pronounce croissant properly, which won't help you beat the pretentious git allegations, or utterly butcher the pronunciation and risk being perceived as uncultured and undeserving of delicious french pastry and then oh shit your next your next oh god and you just point at the pain au chocolat and mutter "one of those, please" and then you spend the next two weeks thinking about how much of a fool you were, meanwhile the person who served you literally has not thought about it since handing you your change.
