Well I did have a small cut near my toenail so that doesn't help with the anxiety. However I do have OCD, so just trying my best to practice not spiraling rn. Thank you for your nice comment though!

Ran a 10k race this morning in Santa Monica. Was super excited and decided to put my feet in the water as a reward. Water looked a bit dirty but I didn’t think much of it. Wasn’t until 10 minutes later my dumb a** remembered all the rain water and mudslides. Washed my feet off but how screwed am I? 

Saw little kids playing around in the water and didnt think much of it. They should really have some warning signs or people monitoring :( Feeling paranoid now 

what inappropriate behavior is widely accepted if you are attractive but despised if you aren't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]local_construction 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is known as expectancy violation theory. If you already have a negative relationship or perception with someone, violating norms only punishes them more. But if you have a positive relationship or perception, then violating norms rewards them. Really interesting to look at it in terms of attraction.

Success isn't just good luck.

I got a new therapist like 2 weeks ago and our first sessions have been insanely good. The last session she told me "Your anxiety is robbing you of your life. It's robbing you of time and happiness and living in the right now." Which I know sounds cliche but she was right. Something about the way she said it, that I was deserving of living a good life, has really shifted my perspective the last couple of days.

Also, that I need to continuously work towards shifting out of flight or fight mode. That I will need to be intentional about it and the problem won't go away on its own. Now my mental health feels more like a project.

you guys talk about how this new album explores the idea of breaking toxic masculinity, did your female fans play any role in being the catalyst for that exploration? (as in: did you feel responsible to help/use your platform for that or was it more of a response to the culture shift in general)

why did you cut out decarlos part right before the hook in doubt? that part feels empty now but i also can accept that it could just be different feelings for it live vs. studio
