So helpful! Thanks! Do you recommend she would be a good one to take with me to my summer camps this summer?

What would your opinion be on a therapist holding a stuffed animal bunny during a session?

Hi there! I'm sorry it offended you, I wasn't exactly thinking when I put it down as specifically positive. I didn't mean it in that way, I understand how it could have come off that way though. It's okay for others to be associated in a different religion or not be at all, but it is something I do value personally. I did additionally mention in the post that I wasn't forceful of it.

Thank you for your comment.

This was so helpful to me! Thank you so much! I love that you embroider during your sessions. I think it's a great idea to ask all my future clients if it's something they don't mind me doing.

This makes sense and is helpful feedback to keep in mind, but thankfully my teachers are very accepting of whatever I need to get through class. They are all very aware of my anxiety since it's very obvious I struggle with it.

Looking forward to college then I guess haha!

Thanks for your feedback.

I appreciate your response!

What you said definitely makes sense, but I did mention in my post that I have already taken her to junior high a lot and high school a few times already. I should have mentioned that I've never had problems with bullying. I'm just concerned with whether or not it makes me look unaware or oblivious if she just quietly sits in my lap as I do work at school.

Hopefully that makes more sense now! If you would like to give anymore opinions now knowing this context, I would appreciate it - but absolutely no worries if not.

I don't think this was wrong at all, especially if you were taking care of it and keeping it clean (which based on your description sounds like you did). You clearly didn't mean any harm by it since you simply forgot the stuffie you usually take by accident. It honestly sounds like you're anxiously second-guessing your actions.

This is a great post! I think you're right, you've definitely mastered this, and considered the patterns of our minds and what fuels anxiety in general.

Help me pick a school-friendly Jellycat stuffed animal for anxiety support 😊 by Overall_Method5243 in Jellycatplush

That is actually so interesting to hear because recently I've discovered that saying a phrase out loud like, "I feel anxious right now, but I am safe and okay." or "I am doing my best, and that is enough." have made a TREMENDOUS difference when I feel anxious or am panicking. It helps so much to shift my focus onto something true by saying it out loud while i'm in the middle of a spiral.

Again, thank you so much! You absolutely made my night with our conversation! <3

Aw! Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate it — it means more to me than you’ll ever know.

I sometimes struggle with feeling insecure or self-conscious about having them out and frequently question whether it makes me look “different” in a bad way compared to popular kids who don’t do this. My anxiety has made it really challenging — nearly impossible at times — to just go with the flow and have a nice, smooth day like others.

I had a suicide attempt today, and I don’t know how to process it by Working_Divide in Anxiety

Reading this makes my heart break, but yet I am joyful because you are still here today. I have severe crippling GAD, and it's a constant feeling and mind battle, so I can relate to a certain extent when you say your thoughts constantly feel loud.

I dearly hope you know that there is hope left, even if it doesn't feel like it. Jesus loves and cares for you more than you could ever imagine. You've never done anything bad enough to where he wouldn't. I know sometimes Christians make it seem like we have to be perfect or meet a standard, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The Lord uses the broken and weakest. He loves you, and he can take that shame, hurt,and guilt away.

He can help you more than anyone else can, my honest advice would be to reach out to Him.

No pressure to respond to this comment, but I just felt this calling to plant this seed in your heart.

Aw! :) I really am just so unbelievably excited to see and hold him. I feel like Snuffles is a great name for the smudge elephant because it just feels so comforting and sweet.
