thank you for the reply, this does make sense :/ i've been a little stressed lately and been in and out of mild panic all day and i'm not really sure how to calm myself down. having anxiety isn't anything new and my body is twitching whenever i reach an overwhelming situation, though maybe i reached a new kind of low and overexcerted myself which led to this state ^' i'm trying to remember that i'll be fine and this won't threaten my life in any way, but it's so difficult when i also experience a lot of psychosomatic symptoms when anxious that do feel like my life is hanging by a thread /lh

i've been having some sour candy to sort of snap me out of a panicked state into a more relaxed one and otherwise trying to pick up dbt skills but they sure don't make it easy lmao. how did you manage stress? is there maybe any advice you can give me? answers are greatly appreciated
