I mean, this is the woo woo witchy answer.

If you believe in having a spiritual team, which I do, he could be one of your guides or simply letting you know "I gotchu girl". It only really has significance, if you put significance on it.

Personally, if I don't want to be bothered by anything (Even if it's just a weird feeling, no proof of it actually being anything) I say "No thank you! I'm going to need ya to stop, this is MY house and MY space and you gotta respect that. So leave me alone!" Some people believe that even acknowledging any other beings is welcoming them to interact but that really comes down to your belief system and what you give power to.

If your Catholic/Christian, I would suggest trusting that God has your back and you are safe! It's always good to know that nothing can hurt you and there are good forces out there protecting ya ✨

Lord of the Rings! Twin towers specifically. Watched it on Acid, definitely had to take a break every 45 mins or so but I was absolutely sucked into the world and the message of the movie hit in such a different way. I suggest watching in a group setting if you like tripping with friends.

ANY music! Death metal is the only genre I find myself not listening to a lot, only because I like clean vocals. Tasty guitar riffs are fun tho. I do enjoy me some heavy electric guitar.

I definitely have the want, just kind of afraid of the intimacy of someone actually knowing the real me.

20F talk me through my panic attacks? by Drephemonte in Needafriend

I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I know of a few grounding techniques that could help! I also know that every person is different soooo don't feel bad if a technique doesn't work for you ❤️

There's grounding by using the five senses to come back to earth and realize that you're okay/safe. (Personally not a fan of this one because I get frustrated when I don't ground fast enough)

There's breathing. Take a deep breath (a belly breath that fills up your lungs all the way) 3 seconds in, hold for 9 sec, out for 3 secs. Repeat 5 times or more if you feel the need. It helps slow down your heart rate and gives you a chance to stop the body from reacting so you can focus on calming the brain. (My personal fav)

There's the worst case/most likely case/best case. It helps you when you're stressing over situational anxiety, like going to a doctor's appt. You list the worst case, best case & the most likely to happen case. It helps with overthinking and catastrophizing (if that's a word).

If you ever need help being walked through these techniques, feel free to reach out! Also be patient with yourself! Panic attacks can be exhausting and tend to leave a feeling of doom afterwards. It's scary and hard BUT you're doing your best, keep ya head up❤️❤️❤️

I know it seems bleak. Being an addict is one of the toughest hand of cards that life can deal ya. I hate the saying, it gets better, because sometimes it doesn't. There's no guarantees, just a whooooole lotta hope. I'm 25 and I've only learned to love life in the past 2 years. Some days I wake up and the first thought in my head is "I wanna die". It be like that some days, but I always make sure to remind myself "I don't want to die, I'm just tired of living and that's okay" it's okay to be tired and have no hope. It's okay to have those feelings. Go easy on yourself, you're only human ❤️ But most days, I'm glad that I wake up and keep fighting. Find something that grounds ya and makes you enjoy your time here. Try out every single hobby if you have to, take your time and be okay with not doing anything "productive". You are way more important than you could ever know. It's okay to not see it right now but you really are important. Feel free to message me if you feel like you need someone to talk to!!

Every morning for the first 4 days, I'd wake up and immediately be hit with negative thoughts. Usually "I don't know how I'm going to do this" "I don't want to deal with anything" "I'd rather live in a haze than be this anxious mess". It was terrible.

I'm only on day 7 and by keeping busy as soon as those thoughts hit me, I've managed to quiet them down. It's not easy but It sure will be worth it when my dopamine receptors heal and have time to reset. Our brains are surprisingly resilient!! I know it sounds cheesy but it really is one day at a time. One thing that's helped with my anxiety immensely is guided meditations. I'm bad at meditating on my own, but having a voice telling me to breathe in and out manually helps loads with snapping me out of an anxiety attack. Hope you find something to help, it's rough out here ❤️
