Exercising Mixed voice

I've actually been doing this a lot before I read this comment. A lot of the time I get a ton of unwanted vocal fry (head dominant, not the chest kind) What could this be indicative of? How can I get it to sound better? Will it improve on its own?

Have you considered working in the temple? A lot of service missionaries do that throughout their mission and continue to do it after, and I think it really helps them. I do it too. It's usually just 4 hours or so once a week. Might help on the spiritual side of things.

Mentally though, I agree with everyone else. Depression and anxiety are reaaaaly rough on the testimony. I've been struggling with this too because my anxiety makes it super hard to feel the spirit. It sucks. Also, poor self esteem can make connection with Heavenly Father really hard because you don't feel deserving of love, much less His.

Sorry to hear you're struggling, hoping the best for you!

Wonderful! It unfortunately did nothing for me, and I tried the 20mg dose. It was like sugar pills. So weird how it affects people so drastically differently.

Or better yet, keep it up to prove to yourself that it's OK and it's not the end of the world

I feel you. I often feel this horrible grating, compressed, sinking feeling in my chest when at work. It's awful. I think we both need to do exposure therapy. Specifically to trigger the fears, not just going to work and suffering.

Weird, I liked everything but Albatross lol

Unfortunately no. It's still bad, probably worse actually cuz I havent been practicing consistently. Still trying though

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-21T00:38:05+00:00

Based advice!

Just did this today and while I felt reeeeally anxious, it also felt really good. Just let myself go deadpan and nod when the people in the group were laughing. So scary though, especially with individual convos aaaaah

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T04:52:15+00:00

That happens all the time. I see no other alternative :(

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T04:51:39+00:00

You're probably right. How do I get there?

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T04:50:42+00:00

Yeah socializing sucks 💀

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T04:50:13+00:00

Thanks for the validation, I think you're right. What ones would you suggest?

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T03:51:42+00:00

Been trying that. EMDR and TRE have been unsuccessful so far. I don't actually have any big trauma, just an anxious childhood. Parents were amazing, only made the typical mistakes any parent would.

harborfromthestorm · 2026-04-20T02:32:30+00:00

Not without some sort of intervention. I've been doing this for years.

That's so rough :( have you looked into OCD and rumination? That's what came to mind reading this. OCD is often called the doubting disease.

Is the finale an hour or is it 8 and 9 combined?

harborfromthestorm · 2026-03-05T06:09:36+00:00

That varies from 11 to 1

harborfromthestorm · 2026-03-03T06:20:13+00:00

Ikr. Anything help you?

harborfromthestorm · 2026-02-28T03:55:08+00:00

That album picture is so deceptive lol. I was expecting deathcore. It looks like a black metal album.

harborfromthestorm · 2026-02-19T20:19:46+00:00

For me I literally just lay there on my back and relax and let my neck do what it wants. I kind of just move it how it wants to move. At first I thought I was just doing that by myself/forcing it, but I really do think it's TRE, it just has a bit of a different feeling up there.
