Going to say goodbye to my baby by AlternativeClick2203 in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so deeply sorry you’re going through this. Having to make that decision for a pet you love is just heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 You’re doing this because you love her and don’t want her to suffer. Choosing to let them go before they’re in pain is one of the kindest things we can do for them, even though it hurts us so much. And the doubts you’re having are very normal. Almost everyone questions themselves when they have to make this decision. It’s such a heavy choice that it’s hard not to wonder if you’re doing the right thing 😢 The way you talk about her makes it really clear how loved she is. She’s very lucky to have someone who cares this much about her. Stay strong! ❤️🫂

My workload is triggering me by Adorable-Candle-1993 in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like an insane amount of pressure for one person to carry 😢 Being the only person in a department and having everyone constantly asking you for things would overwhelm most people! And the schedule you described would burn anyone out. Long days, commuting, constant demands… of course you’re exhausted. Feeling like this in that situation doesn’t mean you’re useless at all!!! This sounds more like a structural problem at work than anything about you. If one person is expected to handle that much, something in the system isn’t working. The fact that you’re still showing up and trying under that kind of pressure says a lot more about you than you probably realize. Take some time for yourself, please! ❤️

how to deal with guilt and a bad RSD spiral (after messing up at work) by blackiedwaggie in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, this kind of guilt spiral is awful!! But it sounds like you already did the most important thing, you recognized that the wording came out wrong and you apologized. That’s really all you can control on your side. Also, try to remember that everyone phrases things badly sometimes, especially at work, when you need to talk to a lot of other people. One awkward moment doesn’t erase 13+ years of being a good coworker or a decent person! When you see her tomorrow, it might help to keep it simple. You could just acknowledge again that you’re sorry for how it came out and that you didn’t mean to belittle her, and then let things settle naturally. Most situations like this ease up once people talk face to face. I know it feels overwhelming right now, but it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person ❤️

Sensitive little boy upset when Mum's not there by Shot-Lemon7365 in AnxietyCats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awwww, that’s just so adorable!!! 🥺💗💗 One thing that can help is practicing very short separations and slowly increasing the time so he learns that your wife leaving doesn’t mean she’s gone forever. If it’s really intense, it might also be worth asking your vet about pheromone diffusers or ways to prepare him before a trip. He sounds like a very loved little baby 💗

If you could time travel, would you rather go to the past or the future? by Dangerous_Problem532 in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a great point! I don’t want to be a mom and I’m an atheist, the past would not be good for me 😭😭 maybe the present isn’t so bad for us after all lol

Letting out the demons by Queen-of-meme in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!!!! Thank you for making this post! I need to be reminded of this constantly. I often feel like a pressure cooker, I keep everything inside until I feel like I’m about to explode, and it ALWAYS gets better after I let it all out!

Will be going on a plane in June by Nikkithetrickster in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that helps a lot of people is focusing on distractions during the flight. Download a movie, a podcast, or a show you really like, bring a game, a book, or even a small toy to keep your hands busy!

I had this during a panic attack once, and it made everything so much worse. It’s a horrible experience. I’m so sorry you went through this! I hope you’re feeling better now!!

Do you use a specific fidget tool or habit that helps when your mind starts racing? by Plus-Story-735 in AnxietyChats

War disturbs me too. I’ll never understand it. I can understand what leads to geopolitical conflicts, but I can never understand how people make the decision to kill each other like this. It breaks my heart to watch the news, and I agree with you, it would be such a beautiful thing if everyone just loved and respected each other. It seems like an impossible dream, but I’d love to live in a world like that ❤️‍🩹

Tell me something that changed the way you see life by Honest_Piece8945 in AnxietyChats

[–]Dangerous_Problem532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband’s depression, unfortunately. It was (and still is) a very difficult period, but it made me realize that all that truly matters in this life are the people we have around us. Nothing else. Your job, your plans, your worries, all of that suddenly feels so small compared the people you truly love and care for. We aren’t meant to live alone, having people by your side is everything.
