@mamachick how are things going this week with the health concerns? Anyone around today? None of my work this week is pann8ng out and since I am yet to rebuild any savings I'm so scared and avoiding doing stuff. I know it's counterproductive but my body also feel in freeze mode...

Weird one, but contractubex scar gel - each country may have different one but if you type it in Google it pops as "silicone scar gel" on Amazon. It was recommended to me when I had knee injury. After reading the label I used it for a bit on old acne scars and they did actually begin to fade. At...

Yup... this year has been ALL the things at once. All unfortunate life things in one (isn't that how it tends to go). I sort of made my peace with some of it but I have lots m8re to learn. There will be ups and downs. I guess this week is at the downs where I feel like more is happening but I'm...

Rewind the week and get more time, everything is getting so anxious so fast.

OK, this is stupid, this is so stupid in perspective, I know... I'm just so entirely sick of everything and all my patience is popping off. And because I'm anxious choosing one small thing to allow myself to do without breaking my effort is kind of testing me. I'm just... I'm so anxious I...

I have been on sort of a rollercoaster this year between submitting to problems and trying to improve things. For about month and a half I have been trying and I think today I'm losing it a bit. Or the last couple days. I have been patient. I have set boundaries, even if they weren't always...

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...
