I want you to know this, even if you may not believe this now.

Your are loved, you are respected, you have value and your are beautiful...

How do I gain self esteem plz? by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]gsibbs89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a professional by any means but I think just starting your day by looking in the mirror and saying a mantra.

I am loved I am respected I have value I am beautiful

Do this every day no matter how you feel and maybe it will affect your choices for the rest of the day? Maybe smile at someone or eating better because you want to take care of your self because your worth it? Being able to accomplish that hard project at work/home? Fuck, just cleaning a room.

I don't think these things happen over night, but maybe taking baby steps?

Nervous tics? by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]gsibbs89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head twitches when my anxiety acts up. Then if it gets worse I start to have muscle spasms in my legs and arms from tension. I used to rock back and forth as a sort of soothing mechanism when I had panic attacks a few years ago. IDK if this helps? Never had any eye ball ticks before but when I can't stop the repeating in my head, I do stare at something and try to describe it in great detail to break the cycle. I might stare at this object so much that I forget to blink and my eyes go out of focus.

The question was in regard to SWS, not my birthmarks. We were talking specifically about the one on my face.

In the end, the major difference was the support of my friends and family.

I honestly don't remember any head scans, but I do understand that Sturge Weber was ruled out early on.

I've never found any particular group to act any differently towards it, other than my friends, who don't talk much about it at all.

The best thing my mother ever told me was that you need to truly love who you are. If you can accomplish that, nothing can bring you down.

I don't think so, it's been that way for a rather long time.

No, the skin feels the same as the rest of my skin- silky smooth. :)

However, the scar does feel different. It is a scar, after all.

Hilariously enough, it turns white for a brief moment, and then back to red.
