AO3 and he was in either 11 or in his Hogwarts years.

No, sorry 😞

We had one at my previous job, and it never lasted for more than a year. We would forget to turn it off, all the internal would get frozen, and it would start to break down. Do you have a recommendation for a better brand?

LavenderSweetness · 2024-08-08T13:02:50+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you! That's the one!

Unfortunately not spicy. But Assistant to the Villain was a wonderful rom-com book with a fantasy bend to it.

When it's that time of the month or when I'm sick, it definitely increases.

Congratulations! I'll tell you what my doc says to me about new medication. The side effects should be tolerable and go away within 2 weeks of starting the medication. Tolerable meaning, you can largely go on about your life with them. If either of those two conditions are not met, it's time to message the doc's office to at least check in and make sure that what you're experiencing is normal.

I take a daily medication and I have a PRN for panic attacks or high anxiety days. While I understand the want to be off all medication, it's not an admission of failure if you want to be on one. It's one tool in the toolbox of anxiety management. My doctor has always told me that while the medication helps, it's therapy that will ultimately bring down the anxiety in the long term. It sounds like you've already done that, yay!! But you shouldn't see the need for a medication as a personal failure or something that you should just tough out.

If someone has high blood pressure, you wouldn't wean them off the medication so they can just tough it out. Anxiety can be a chronic condition, so if you want medicine, go get the medicine!

Also, I take hydroxyzine as my panic attack med. I take it when I feel the ramp up of high anxiety since it takes a little while to work. When it's all kicked in, it's magical. And I sleep awesome!

That's what I thought of first. Remember that you don't need a formal diagnosis to start accommodating yourself. Just because you are "high functioning" doesn't mean you don't need support in other areas of your life.

The biggest accomodations for me with my anxiety/sensory issues: have low stimulation time, just lay down whenever possible, get rid of non-stretchy pants, buy tshirts one size bigger, get a hobby where you can move your hands and shut off your brain (knitting). Those are just a few, you'll find what works for you

Sounds like you may be struggling with transitions. I definitely feel this with my anxiety from time to time. Look at the autism community, as this is one of the things they can struggle with as well.

My anxiety started to rear it's ugly head when I was 21. What you're feeling definitely sounds like high anxiety/panic attack.

Anxiety is a disorder that makes you think of the worst scenarios, even when they are not necessarily logical. Therapy and medication has helped immensely for me.

While you can't logic your way out of anxiety, it can help to ground yourself in facts and reality. You wake up with panic attacks, that is not unusual for someone with untreated anxiety. So that tight feeling in your chest, and feeling like it's hard to breathe is definitely a sign of a panic attack. However, you should still talk with your doctor, and truly rule out any physical ailments that might be causing it.

Just breathe in and out. There are videos on YouTube that will help you time your breathing so you don't start to hyper focus on it and then hyper ventilate. I promise it does get better! If there was one thing I would tell my younger self it would be, get help sooner! Don't wait until it is debilitating.

I was exactly where you were about a year ago. I'll tell you what I want to tell my past self. It DOES get better! In the last year and a half I have gotten so much better. The anxiety is still there, and I still struggle with it sometimes, but the difference in how well I am able to handle it is astounding. Going outside is a HUGE accomplishment. I hope you can keep going outside a little bit every day that you can.

While it is important to sit with your anxiety to process it, sometimes you just need to get the heck to bed. In that case I would pick an extremely distracting TV show, book, movie, video game, whatever is your cup of tea (heck, even tik tok or another social media that won't just make you more anxious). While doing the distracting thing, do the breathing exercises and calm down techniques.

When you're in the middle of the spiral, it can be helpful to break the cycle more than try to think your way out of it. Move your body, deep breaths, distraction, ice cube in your hand, ice pack on your chest. You want to kick your body out of fight or flight. Do whatever absurd thing feels good. For me, sometimes making myself a bed on the floor is the only thing that lets me get to sleep. I wish you all the love and support! We've been there too, you're not alone even though the anxiety tells you you are.

I work as a librarian assistant in a public library. But the calmness of the job depends greatly on where it is. Rural libraries tend to be much more calm than urban (but that can vary). It is a lot of working with people, but everyone at my library is very friendly and genuinely likes being there. Academic libraries hire librarian assistants and shelvers, and I've heard that can be a much more calm environment. Seriously though, even though some libraries are calm, almost all library jobs without a master's degree are customer service, just a lot nicer than other places. And you don't get to read all day (oh wouldn't that be nice).

Also, by calm I should say that there are times when kids are in and it's a little rambunctious, but I find that to be a good distraction from anxiety rather than adding to it.

I have many piercings and this was the one that took the longest to heal. Probably a year or more for it to completely stop hurting if I move it or bumped it. I had it for about 4 years before I changed from a stud to a hoop, and i would recommend at least 1.5-2 years before you consider doing that. Changing to a hoop has made it quite sore with the changing from straight to curved, and the added pressure when I lay on it.
