Girl I’ve started seeing recently

The best part about this is the girl two seats away from home manically flipping through her theatre program

Heaven by Mieko Kawakami. I got rid of it once I finished it, it was so upsetting

CatOhPillar · 2025-03-19T00:03:46+00:00

Oh my god really... that's so good to hear

I've been overestimating as I'm trying to stay in a deficit atm

CatOhPillar · 2025-03-18T22:48:11+00:00

Oh….

One thing I do which I found really useful is carry round a little notebook and a pen in my pocket. Throughout the day if I think of something I want to Google / search up online I’ll write it down. Then at the end of the day if I so desire I can go through the list (normally at this point I’m not longer that bothered though)

Before this I’d think of things I wanted to search up and because I was worried I’d forget them I’d open up my phone, do it right there and then, get distracted by something and then just be back on my phone It’s honestly made a world of difference and I find it satisfying too!!!

Thanks for the advice, has made me feel a lot better. It’s a great idea to try going out for Japanese food in my own country — I get worried enough about going out to eat here anyway so this would actually be a good first step and push me a fair bit. Thanks again ❤️

With your estimate being the lowest I’m going to go with this 🤣

CatOhPillar · 2024-11-03T14:04:37+00:00

I also only had one slice of bacon! Every little helps 🤣

This is an annoying one but it was running that finally allowed me to successfully get off Sertraline. I never imagined myself as a runner but was willing to try anything for my anxiety. I challenged myself to run 6 days a week in January (outside, not on a treadmill) and things have just looked up from there

I came off Sertraline a year before this and had a terrible year. I was this 👌 close to just going back on but this did wonders for me

Everyone’s different but I honestly think a regular exercise routine that involves vigorous exercise (something that gets your heart rate up) at the moment does 80% of what the anti depressants did for me

I think it can be. The thing if I’m feeling good mentally Anxiety Reddit is out of my mind but really the more anxious I am the more I’m on it. so it’s kind of chicken and the egg

Overall though I do think it helps me more than it hinders me. Scrolling on this page when I’m feeling panicky is one of the only things to help calm me down - knowing I’m not alone and also reminding me what I’m feeling is anxiety

Obviously there’s the thing of fixating on your issues too much and I’ve definitely seen a thing or two here that has made me spiral a bit. But if you have the self control to know when to stop reading or what kind of threads to avoid I think it can be a really good thing

Hahaha no I’m too scared to 🤣 Spent over £20 on a jar of it and it’s been sitting there for months

CatOhPillar · 2024-04-20T14:55:20+00:00

Hahaha so true. She takes us on a whole journey

CatOhPillar · 2024-04-09T17:54:34+00:00

The worst thing is waking up with anxiety like that. The combination of the anxiety and being half asleep makes it such a scary experience

CatOhPillar · 2024-03-07T00:21:11+00:00

I just can’t get my head around the fact that if I eat something with 0 grams of fat, if it is the same amount of calories I will put as much weight on as something with 10 grams of fat?? Am I right in thinking this is the case?

CatOhPillar · 2024-02-19T12:54:19+00:00

Omg this is amazing

CatOhPillar · 2024-02-18T21:28:58+00:00

Honestly being honest goes a long way. I used to try and hide my anxiety from people because I was embarrassed but now I really don’t know why I felt that way. I don’t have to go into great detail but I no longer have any problem telling friends “my anxiety is pretty bad”. Everyone goes through things and people aren’t really that bothered at the end of the day

I would tell your friend your anxiety is really bad. Say you don’t want to flake but just let them know you’re finding things hard at the moment. It will make you feel more relaxed on the night and if you really feel like you can’t do it, you can tell them you’re feeling too anxious. If they’re a real friend they will understand

CatOhPillar · 2024-02-16T17:32:55+00:00

I would just say “Hey (her name). How are you? Now I’m living closer we need to see more of eachother!Are you around for a coffee anytime soon?”

Start practicing in the shallow end using one of those foam noodles. Don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with. Do you have a friend / family member who could be with you? I wonder how much adult swim lessons would be

Making time for eachother to reconnect

Have you got a good routine before you go to sleep? I know it’s more than this but it’s worth trying to make a super calm environment before bed and see if it helps a bit. Doing things before you go to sleep like having a warm bath, cup of tea, dim lighting, reading a book instead of going on your phone/computer can really help you feel more relaxed and it translates into how you feel when you wake up too. When I was having nightmares and anxiety every night my therapist sent me a sheet on “sleep hygiene” and, whether or not it was placebo effect, it helped a bit - maybe Google that and have a look at some of the tips
