had an anxiety attack for the first time in my life today - at least i think it was an anxiety attack - i had a tight feeling in my chest for ages and i was shivering uncontrollably and then i started to not be able to breathe and i was crying - there wasn’t even one thing that set it off i think just general anxiety about my insane workload and atruggling to make friends in college and just feeling so alone - anyway it was one of the worst experiences of my life and my chest still feels tight and i don’t know what to do i still have to write an eight page essay to write - anyway any tips for dealing with anxiety attacks i would love to know …

oh brother how has it come to this!!! surely i cannot be alone when it comes to being randomly ASSAULTED with a weighted blanket of stress, due to truly nothing at all. couldn’t even tell u if i tried, yet here i am, gobsmacked, my mothers child, distraught. sutured to the couch like a mouse on a glue trap

I have been dealing with this for almost a year. There were some events that I think kicked it off. Maybe worse since the pandemic started. But! What has been really helpful is understanding that anxiety is showing up in the body because the body does not feel safe. Anxiety is a message to the brain! And sometimes that mechanism gets all fked up and misfires.
Doing somatic therapy with a therapist that I really like and think values my concerns has been helpful. I do body and environmental awareness exercises. These help me increase my sense of safety and trust of myself. It's gotten about 15% better since I started. I hope you feel relief soon. Shit is so hard.

I made this card for my best friend’s birthday and I’m very proud of it - I drew things that remind me of her like her cats and her fav movie as well as photos of some of my fav memories together - it took so long because there were so many tiny pieces of paper to cut out but I just put on a movie and in the background and had fun crafting which was actually very relaxing
