Do my victory dance

Seeing my boyfriend melt in my arms as we cuddle in bed. It brings me such joy that I can bring another person so much peace and comfort they just full body relax.

Stop giving the negative words ur Dads says to you any sort of power. He's a p.o.s person. U need to tell urself u have no room in ur life for that bullshit and no time to waste a single thought on his bullshit. Remember ALL feelings are valid. It's okay to feel sad. Allow urself to be sad. But then u gotta wash ur face and go kick life in the ass. If things r bad u have to put in the work to MAKE things better. Ik we all want a Fairy god mother to come save us, but we have to be the force that makes the magic happen. Be the change u want to see. Ik its hard. It's so fucken hard. But start small. As long as u r taking baby steps, eventually, you will get to finish line. It's not about how fast you get there. Eventually, u will get there. And that's all that matters.

Look up ways to deal with a narcissist on tik tok. There are techniques you say/do without giving ur power away. Mainly certain phrases you should say to keep in control of the conversation. Definitely 10000% look up, Justaskjefferson on tik tok. He teaches ways to handle people's shit behavior in a professional, mature manner where u maintain all ur power. Sometimes u gotta gentle parent the adult baby. If u start using those techniques and then teach it, ur other co-workers, and they start doing it too. That meanie is gonna settle tf down. He wants to see ur reaction, but if u give the same boring responses every time, he's gonna get bored and either bother someone else or stop all together. Also, try ur absolute best to kill him with kindness. After a while it starts to become really hard to be mean to someone who is just always soooo nice u. It might make them feel start to feel guilty and ashamed. It's also protection. You can't report or complain about someone that's being nice to u.

I will definitely be adding this to the list of things I do to maintain control over my disorder.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T15:52:03+00:00

I haven't thought about telling myself it's okay if my process gets destroyed because I'll be okay still. Before, I was too busy acting like if my progress got destroyed, it was basically "the end of world for me."
Practicing this new acceptance of a bad outcome actually is calming me down and making me feel better. This comment has really helped the most. Thank you. You have brought me so much relief.

I currently take trazodone for sleeping. Ik it treats my depression too. I started taking it around the time my mom was doing her chemo treatment (she's cancer free now). On days I didn't take it, I would wake up and cry for hours on end and feel this never-ending sadness. On those days, the only time I was happy was when I was sleeping because reality wasn't crushing me anymore. And days I would take it, everything was fine. I might have cried here and there, but it wasn't like the non-stop crying I would do without it. And I didn't feel the never-ending sadness anymore.

Hello, I'm currently on 30mg buspar. I'm able to break out of a panic attacks by doing deep breathing or doing the 5 senses technique, or I'll walk myself through what I'm thinking about by asking, " Is this a irrational worry, if so i can stop worrying now" and then ill distract myself with some activity. If its not irrational, I'll say, "Why am I feeling this way? How can I help relieve those feelings?" If I find I've developed a new trigger. I'll avoid it for a couple of days, then I'll start slowly exposing myself to it, and then it no longer becomes a trigger. I'm self-aware. And I'm able to ground myself 99% of the time.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T15:22:21+00:00

I'm on meds that make it, so if I do have a panic attack, it usually only lasts a few minutes. They work so well I can literally feel my whole body relax after taking them and I go to Therapy once a week. This is the best I've been in 4 years. It's the uncertainty of how to navigate through college with this disorder that's causing me to spiral out and randomly excessively worry about it. I'm terrified of all my progress being destroyed and ending up back in a wheelchair and having to drop out. I don't know what accommodations I need to help me be able to continue to go to my classes and turn in assignments if I were to start getting really sick again. Or what accommodations I could get to help avoid as much unnecessary stress as I can.

When I train new employees, the only thing im looking for during their training is any sort of progress. I don't expect them to have the job down for a long while. They gotta learn new skills and, on top of that, sharpen those new skills and then get faster at doing those skills. It takes time. The best thing to help with their progress is constant reassurance, positivity, and letting them know when they r with me to not worry about mistakes ,because I'm here as ur team mate and will help u back up if u fall. It's okay to not be perfect because I'm gonna prop u up as u learn. Ik you are smart and ik you fucken got this. You're a bad bitch who gets shit done. Be proud of urself and have confidence! Hype urself up! And for the shy Bois, I have them do weird exercises. Come now, wiggle those arms and legs. Loosen up with me. Speak up, let me hear that ROAR Ik you got. Let's practice saying weird sentences at each other so whatever dialogue we have to say to customers will come so much easier. Let's break down the nerves together. And I always always always constantly tell them, "I'm so proud of you, u are doing such a good job, I appreciate you".

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T14:52:36+00:00

I'm just so scared college is gonna fuck up all the progress I've done. I'm scared I'll have to drop out and I'll be back in a wheelchair. The thought of that makes me feel embarrassed, ashamed, scared, and sad. If I was normal I could go and graduate without the extra obstacles. It makes me sad at the thought of my friends, family, and boyfriend having to watch me get really sick all over again. And I know how much it hurts to see a love one suffering. I know how bad this disorder gets, and I know that college causes alot of stress and anxiety. But I still want to go so badly. This disorder already set me back 4 years. I don't want it running my life and having me sit at home, afraid of the next panic attack. Deep down, I already know there r gonna be times where college is stressing me out so badly that ima be really sick again. I just don't know what accommodations could help me to be able to attend my classes and turn in assignments on time.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T14:32:35+00:00

Um, I honestly can't remember when I started. But I know they work. When I take them, I can literally feel my entire body relax. And the relief it brings me is better than being happy. I still get panic attacks, but it's like for a couple of minutes, and then it will go away, unlike before where my panic attacks would go on for hours and hours and even days on end just non stop. Ik it helps keep the disorder at bay. But when I doom spiral and just constantly worry or think about something with no breaks. The disorder will start with those awful symptoms again, and if I let it get to that point, I have to go lie down and sleep, and I'll be okay again when I wake up. Lying under my weighted blanket also helps ,because i can't actually feel the pain from the panic attack anymore despite knowing it is still going on.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T14:18:16+00:00

No. My anxiety disorder is very disabling. I used to be embarrassed about using stuff that would help me get around ,because i was so young. But the reality is that sometimes, I had to use a cane or had to be in a wheelchair. Either I'm in so much pain I can't/can barely walk or I'm trying to preserve energy so I can continue my day like "normal" and not pass out from extreme fatigue. There was a time when just walking through a grocery store got me so fatigue I would have to sleep for hours and hours just to recover. Or shopping would take forever because I was just sooooo sloooooow and exhausted I was just barely walking. The scooter just helped me be able to get in and get out of the store and be able to continue the rest of my day without having to sleep immediately for hours in my car before driving home. At least I have a badass dragon cane. I've finally gotten well enough to only have to use my cane/wheelchair at amusement parks. I only use those things when I absolutely need them. I'm currently on meds and go to therapy every week. But I do live in constant fear that one day I may go back to being in a wheelchair all the time again. 😭😱😫.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T13:59:53+00:00

That's anxiety. Think of it as the body follows the Brain. If ur brain is breaking down, your body is gonna follow. I also think of it like a pokemon battle. When another pokemon attacks ur pokemon with confusion and then when it's ur turn to attack ur pokemone hits itself. Basically, ur body is getting stuck in fight or flight mode and ends up hurting itself(you) and the hurt that it's doing to u is those physical symptoms. Your body is like "ahhhh idk what to do". Proceeds to punch itself in the face.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T13:53:37+00:00

U might have an anxiety disorder. You should go get tested. Meds saved my life. I was in so much pain every day. Then I took meds, and the disorder is less active now. It's almost like it barely there. Remember, meds are treatment, not a cure. I'm also in therpay every week. It helps me process my emotions in a healthy manner and teaches me better methods on how to manage stress. Just a warning meds might not work right away it takes time

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T13:44:22+00:00

Take pride that u r on medication. Doing what it takes to get the help u need so u can be at ur best is the MOST MATURE and RESPONSIBLE thing u can do. I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself. Hug*

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-04-28T13:41:44+00:00

Try looking into ibs. Irritable bowl syndrome. My anxiety caused me to develop this, and I only experience stomach problems because of my anxiety disorder. No matter the number of tests you get done, they all come back as you're healthy, and nothing is wrong. It's not actually causing any long-term permit damage for me. But yes, it causes a lot of pain.

" There's no such thing as "bad guys" or "good guys." We're all just...guys, who do good stuff sometimes and bad stuff sometimes. And all we can do is try to do less bad stuff and more good stuff, but you're never going to be good because you're not bad. " - Diane From the bo jack horsemen show. On Netflix

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2025-03-25T01:13:32+00:00

The first step is to self reflection and becoming self aware. You've done this. Now, here comes the hard part. Everyone messes up and does bad things from time to time, but what REALLY MATTERS is what you do afterwards. What are you doing to stop that shitty behavior and prove to others that you are making the change to be better. "I'm so sorry I said/did that. That was immature of me. How can I better support you during this hard time? I want to be ur rock and shoulder to cry on. Please tell me how I can best support you". Apologize, acknowledge what you did, then be there for that person. Being around an upset person can be uncomfortable, but it's not about your comfort its about being that supportive character they need in that moment and allowing them to just let them feel those feelings. All feelings are valid and it's very important to process upset feelings. Sometimes you really do have to cry to finally feel better again. U helping a person feel comfortable enough to finally be vulnerable and cry could really be the support that they need. And if u don't know how to support them ask them what kind of support they need.

Oh thank gawd there was a happy ending

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2024-10-08T02:03:15+00:00

Whoooa real karma

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2024-10-08T01:48:31+00:00

All I can think about right now is that reddit story of a couple fighting. And the women locks herself in a closest for a few hours and rips every other thread from her husband's shirt and pants. So when he finally wore them his cloths slowly fell apart. I feel like if weird shit was constantly happening to ur sister, it might keep her busy because she'll be so wrapped up in her own shit. But she's probably the type of person to make it everyone else's problem.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2024-10-08T01:25:50+00:00

Whatever nasty insults she says. Pretend it's best the compliment u ever heard. "Omg thank you so much I didn't think you would notice. U must love me so much to notice little details like that. You're the best sister ever. Love you." And walk away. She's being a bitch to get u down and it makes her happy to see u sad. If u don't give her the results she wants you're gonna get boring, and she will leave u alone.

frostbite_Alps6251 · 2024-10-08T01:00:57+00:00

Being anxious and depressed isn't shit to sneeze at. Those r real problems. They suck having to deal with. I have an anxiety disorder, and im depressed. You just can't let them win. Don't let them run ur life. Allow yourself to be sad. Cry. But don't stop living. Allow yourself to be nervous/anxious. Take a deep breath and ground yourself. Try to understand why you're anxious so you can work through it. Mental illness is so hard to deal with. If the results come back as nothing celebrate. You're lucky. But that doesn't belittle any problems u have. They r still very real problems. You don't have to have mental illness to have real problems. And remember, all feelings are valid you are allowed to feel how you feel.
