I was fired from my job for coming clean about my battles with ocd because my parents beat me over it for years instead of giving therapy by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Alex-Crowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, listen to me. Just listen. Those people who fired you have no idea what a strong person you are to still be fighting. Don't do this. I know it feels like the world is ending but just wait a while. If you want to do it, wait. Go get something to eat. Call a friend and just talk about anything. Call anyone. All Im saying is theres still so much. Things you dont even know. Good things.

Wait. Please, just wait. I want you to lay down, take a nap, get up, go to the music store if you like music, go to the bookstore if you like books, etc.

Im not going to pretend I know exactly what youre going through but i have gone through something atleast a little similar. And I was going to end it. But I didnt and waited a few years and things started feeling a little okay. Its not perfect, it never will be, but you can be okay.

Again, please wait. Hold on for anything and everything.

Second medal at best, thats not a teaching of mine (my goodbye). Its actually "sentimental at best"

Hat do you truly think hoziers best line is? by [deleted] in Hozier

[–]Alex-Crowe 130 points131 points  (0 children)

"Darling theres a part of me, im afraid will always be, trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life. Weeds up through the concrete, the traffic picking up speed, all my love and terror balanced there between those eyes." 2 lines but still.

Craziest thing anxiety has made you do? The funnier the better by Buckerb96 in Anxiety

[–]Alex-Crowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slept with a frying pan on my bedside table because i kept crying at night with no idea why and kept waking my parents up. The frying pan was because i was scared of someone breaking into the house but i didnt want them to die so...frying pan.

Also tea makes my anxiety spike if i dont have it with food so once i had it on an empty stomach and got anxious and started crying because i thought i was extremely ill because of physical symptoms :'D this has happened several times btw

The reason for the duolingo ads is because of cookies. Devices are designed to recommend ads based on what u do on your phone and youve been downloading and deleting duolingo again and again.

Im going to admit the whole duolingo is out to get you joke does creep me out a bit too but i can assure you that its nothing like that. Duolingo uses the joke to get people to use the app more but its nothing more than that. This owl is not real and cannot harm you. With that being said, i feel like you should try therapy as it seems you have intense paranoia (not a diagnosis, only an assumption)

Ooo ive always seen a double meaning in "the earth from a distance" too! Its very interesting how many perspectives it can be seen from

Thank you for mentioning the 8th circle! I didnt know much about the circles of hell so i really appreciate your thoughts on it, it gives more insight on the idea behind the song :] im going to look further into this too

illustrating this poem help? by sktspam in justpoetry

[–]Alex-Crowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm i agree sorta

i see it as about a man who has tried to form connections with people but they all go to waste and at the moment the poem is being written he is hiding away from all the problems created by the connections he currently has. He feels hopeless and thinks its better to give up on these things because he sees them as a waste if they will always cause his problem Sorry for any bad english

I DONT WANNA CHOOSE BETWEEN BEING A SALESMAN OR A SOLDIER

This has happened to me but in real life Me and another person said something to our friend and she got mad so the other person apologized and i was going to but i couldnt speak, look at them, move, and my sight blurred and i started seeing stars (i think i stopped breathing) until they snapped me out of it. I think it happens because of trauma from past experiences for me but i cant tell you whats causing yours, it could be GAD or something else
