There are so many great tips here, I love this. In very anxious times I struggle more with this. I get these nightmares that stick with you and they just ripple in my body for hours. I'm not saying this will always work. But 2 things I have found helpful: Have a routine of getting up at the...

I am honestly not sure. There was a time when I was reflecting so deeply and I knew everything that worked and didn't work for me. Last year sort of... turned my life upside down and a lot of things sort of faded to background for a LONG time. Comfort... my ballet family (as in the studio where...

@Friday you can make a green smoothie that has all the greens but taste better (kiwi, apples, along with celery and cucumber and the rest of it..)... also really good if you're sick, smoothie with blueberries, forest fruit, banana, celery, peanut or some nut butter, vegan or regular milk...

Teaching a new kid successfully (2nd class together).

Omlette with yellow and white cheese, peppers, peas and just a smidge of sausage, made in butter. @Teasel that maple pecan bread sounds incredible!

Cozy TV show after work when it's freezing outside.

I have a private lesson teaching English to a kid today. I have had 2 kids so far but most of them were operating on assumption that you come regularly or you call on time if you do not. I get that if you're a kid you may get sick last moment, that's fine. But the new kid was sick all last week...

People on the bus who talk so loudly the whole bus gets annoyed, yet they haven't noticed. People on the bus playing phones loudly without headphones. You're in public. Respect others and use headphones. And I'm sorry, but your baby playing with my hair when I'm anxious once is fine, you didn't...

Make all happening in my life right now be in summer, winter makes me more anxious always. Besides, my winter wardrobe is ridiculously or ironically, literally in another country with my friends currently (didn't think staying with family would move to the direct winter period when it was...

Generally I think so, I think I'm doing a bit better. Still at my parents, hopefully not for much longer. I mean for the most part it's not like anything magically changed. BUT, 3 main things made change: 1. accepting what is more, or trying to- when I arrived I was somewhat broken I think. I...

Watching shorts of new Coco Chanel ballet on Instagram that was just so beautiful it just heals my day when things get really ugly. Given how little shows I can see in person and even out of those you can't always afford them, this is one of the great things about social media. Brightens my day.

I'm so angry I want to cry. How is reminding me that life is unfair and I'm responsible for my parents AND myself while I can't even get an apartment yet is not helping me. I took more action finally when I wasn't being lectured. I also can't answer questions about bad days if I'm told...

I honestly can't say. I believe sometime in the days after I made this topic I took few days away from the forum sorting some life stuff. And my memory is overloaded with so much this year it's like must. 29th may as well have been half a year away, days are so intense right now and full of...

I had a super realistic nightmare/memory and I can't snap out if that feeling today, keeps coming back in waves.

1. I hate when I get so anxious about one errand/class I'm teaching that my whole day revolves around it 2. Thank God for audio books 3. I'm so wound with anxiety it almost feels like doing something about it is not a choice- I have to 4. Haven't written fanfiction in months, but today seems...

The ridiculous phone plan I had to sign at least providing 2 subscriptions "for free" for the first year and one of them is for audio books. Now I get to listen to books on my walks or errands which is definitely good for me anxiety/occasional agoraphobia. ALSO, finally having local Sim and not...

Yesterday I had a trigger from the biggest for me. It was resolved somewhat by the morning. However today my body feels in shock. Weirdly not my mind, it's ready to do things and try again. My mind is clear, but my body is not calming down, my chest is tight and my adrenaline is going up and...

I've been through childhood trauma so I think this always happened but obviously when you're a teen and so on- you get told you're dramatic and you move on. I've noticed when someone (especially from my immediate family but aquintances too) is mad or highly upset about something and highly...

Disappointment

I can't deal with fixing my life anymore today. It's been a long year of trying. Can't I get a couple days of relief and not heading for another cliff?

Dream

I'm such a fool. To think for a second my ex actually was going to agree helping me now. I asked him for something as I'm struggling with life currently and he said we'll discuss it in the evening. Evening comes and he now says that we agreed I can't rely on him like this anymore. Then what did...

I love this quote. I'm sure you have your own interpretation but something came to mind for me too. Definitely something to remember, I do that a lot too. Not with everyone for sure, but with some family. It's really hard to be objective and chose different path than you are pushed towards. And...
