I have GAD. In seconds I can go from watching a chill letsplay to an undefinable but horrid-feeling sense of panicked doom for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than apparently my brain hates my existence and randomly sees fit to punish me for it. And this is any average day.

“BAD SHIT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!”
Okay, can you give me a clue?
“BAD SHIT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!”
I could use even a hint, if you can—
“HOLY RAGING BADGERFUCK, “BAD SHIT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!”
Thank you, brain, you’ve been immensely helpful. Truly a brain of all time.
Sigh. Here we fucking go again.
Interestingly, the one being disturbed by the anxiety is the brain, the one complaining about not knowing the reason is also the brain, the one triggering the anxiety in the first place is the brain, and the one with awareness of your entire physiology is the same brain
And the one with the tools to recover from the anxiety?
You’ll never believe it, but:
The anxiety of a deer surrounded by wolves, whilst laying in my underwear watching some cartoon in my perfectly safe bedroom

That’s exactly it. Sometimes all I can do is pace while attempting deep breathing exercises until it passes, which sometimes takes hours.
But if that was an accomplishment for you they deserve to be celebrated! I think people challenging themselves in meaningful ways not just flashy attention grabbing ways is arguably more impressive. Another persons success or achievement doesn’t detract from your own
That’s a really nice thing to say I like it
Those last things still count!
“Best I can offer is a phone call to my doctor’s office…”
So do that :) and be proud of yourself if you’re able to and easy on yourself if you don’t.
driving period. driving while its dark counts double.
Less people on the road at night
I don’t even have the time or energy to do things I want to do, I’m not going out of my way to find scary things to do just to do them.
