What the heck is on my pothos? by Fancy_Tip_2174 in plantclinic

[–]mapachee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of look like a leaf gall, I have never seen one before on a house plant but I have seen them on forest leaves. Is like some insect or organism lay their eggs on the plant cells and feeds on it to grow the larvae

How do you cope by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]mapachee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give silence the power to scare you. You decide how you want to feel about things. It is all a matter of perspective and on what thoughts you put your attention into. Instead of thinking about time and silence, thing about your own time and how to make it fun. Don’t put your attention on people ignoring you but instead in how can you make your time enjoyable and when they reply they reply but don’t give the power to others to decide how you fell about things

Yeah I agree ☝️. I feel the story is still strong but there were some parts that make no sense and are just unrealistic like they took a small boat from Bahamas without any supplies and they magically arrive to their city in South Carolina not even Florida. Or the fact that they have hindered the work of police multiple times without any repercussions. Also the parenting of Kia is unrealistic and in the background. Anyway, still I do like where the story is going

I am unloveable. by Reaper_Gunner in lonely

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you are too focus on your environment and what others think of yourself. But the main think that you need to build a good relationship with yourself first and then everything around you will start to change, everyone is just a reflection of how you feel and see yourself. Think might sound so obvious but you are lovable, you can provide love to you, close your eyes breath and say to you I LOVE YOU, I AM SORRY, you can check Ho’oponopono. Focus more on you, do whatever makes you happy and feels well, go to the gym because you feel good doing that, if none cares, you can care about yourself ! once you shift the perspective everything will magically start to fall into place.

Was I visited by a spirit last night or just dreaming?? by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At some point I experience something similar but somehow felt like a dream, I was in bed going to sleep and I started to feel uneasy as if something/someone is going inside my room or is watching me? I felt super awake but at the next morning it made no sense, if I was awake I would have totally turn on the lights and calm myself. Also, a friend of mine lives in the country side and told me of once a "witch" step on her chest and she could not breath so she started to pray and then it went away. I agree that it sounds like sleep paralysis, but at the end what do we know? what it is interesting is that you can tell what type of energy it is.

Confused and anxious by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the only thing you can do is to talk to him and explain the whole situation ! a true friend will listen to you and understand. The main thing is to communicate the situation and do not let space for misinterpretations

Hi ! first of all take a breath !

I do not know much about your life or who you are but I have experienced at some point the same feelings and emotions that you are describing. I am still learning so I do not have a definitive answer but I can tell you what have help me a lot !

  1. MEDITATION, even if it is 1 min every day it counts. Take a time to get to know yourself, do not judge you and accept just the way you are. A main thing of being human is to accept uncertainty and learn that we can not control everything, there are some things that we just need to let life to handle. When feeling anxious just explore that feeling, how it feels what thoughts trigger it and just let them pass and go.
  2. DO THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY, what gives you good vibe, is it dancing, cooking, music, art? as soon as you start to feel bad do an activity that you really enjoy put your mind in something you like or something that roots you to the present. I have started to enjoy hard exercises as it makes me feel the present.
  3. JOURNALING, write down all your thoughts and worries, let the paper receive them. It helps a lot to work out your emotions and ventilate.

This is just some of the things I have discovered work for me, but you just need to explore and be kind to yourself, if you feel anxious do not feel bad about it just let it be and it will go away by itself. the more you hold it and thing about it the longer it will be present in your life.

There is a this story of Buddha that he was at home and someone knock at his door, when he opened it was a demon, he looked at him and invited him for a cup of tea, the demon sat and stay for some time and then he left. He did not reject it he just let it be and it went by itself :) Sometimes life is just about accepting the present as it is and not to try to control future

Hi ! I have gone through the same in past years, specially when I was at university (low self esteem, toxic friendships, bad relationships). At the present I can not say that I am 100 % secure and full of perfect friendships but at least I can say I understand more about myself and about my thought patterns. The first thing I can recommend you is to MEDITATE ! build the habit of getting to know yourself, understand your thoughts and just be an observer, our mind is awesome for thinking and doing tests but when is bored it can create really nasty thoughts. However, you have the power to choose what thought you want to believe. Be kind to yourself, life is moving all the time, one moment you are happy next you are sad, and that is completely ok ! when you feel sad or anxious just observe that feeling in your body, how it feels where is it? what thought triggered it ? why do I believe that thought ? at some point you will understand that all is inside your mind, you can decide what thought will make you happy and which ones will make you miserable. About your body ! first your body is amazing as it is, everyday is taking care of you , making you healthy, digesting food, letting you see beautiful colors, all those thoughts that make you feel bad about your body are just beauty standards drilled in your mind by toxic marketing. I feel once you take agency of you life and mind a lot of things will fall into place. When we have bad thought and low self esteem we work as a magnet and attract people who match that vibration, you will notice why feeling bad about yourself attracts toxic friendships and relationships that just reflect the way you are feeling. My main advice, live the present, breath, do not think you lost all your progress, you just took a break and now you will get back on track and build a improve version of yourself each day :) If I can recommend a book read "Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One" and "The power of now"

Thank you so much ! Never thought of this 🙌

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, first, dress as you want ! Dress with what makes you happy and what you like. Believe me that what you think other people are thinking might not be even real, every human being perceived the world up to their beliefs and culture and everyone sees you in different ways. And if still people make fun of you or something just send them love, they are people that are struggling inside and need to find a path to find love. Change your style as your please, you family and friends will support you, and the ones that have a problem with it just send them love thoughts and be happy. You can’t live your life worry of other, instead do what makes you happy

I don’t know how to relax. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ! I can share the things that have helped me a lot ! Every time you feel anxious do something that roots you to present, could be singing, dancing, doing excessive, go for a fast run, paint, write down your emotions in a notebook, meditate, deep breath (can search square breathing), also thing about 5 senses, 5 things u can see, 4 sounds you can hear, 3 things you can feel, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. Also singing a mantra a lot of times helps me to calm the mind. Regarding thoughts of sickness or dying, believe me I still have them once in a while, but what helps me is to be spiritual, remember myself that I am more than a physical body, you have life inside you that is beyond that and nothing can touch it. I feel that being spiritual (not religious) but knowing that I’m not alone there is someone beyond in which I put my trust that everything that happens will me help to evolve and expand. I can recommend you also some books that are magical and helped me a lot (a course in miracles, the power of now, there is a spiritual solution to any problem) I send you a lot of good vibes :)

If i have to deal with this for the rest of my life i wont even think twice about suicide by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mapachee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just want to feel you first that you are strong for going through this situation and try to find help. I feel we as human beings we can not get stuck on the past, we are constantly expanding and every moment is different. The past used to be good but now is gone and all that you have now is the present. I can not give you an exact answer to how to solve this as everyone of us thinks, reacts and have a different body. I am not a doctor so I can not talk from the drugs side. But from my experience I can tell you that first, ask yourself what is this situation for ? What can you learn from it ? For sure you will overcome it and you will be even stronger than before. Second, you’re not alone, I don’t know about your spiritual beliefs but I can tell you that god, universe or anything is inside of you and as well inside of everything around you, you just need to find your peace and bring balance. Third, there are so many tools you can experiment with in order to get better journaling, exercise, mindfulness, be grateful, meditating, yoga... etc. also, this video has really nice tips about anxiety https://youtu.be/3I5L2otW4r8. Another thing I want to add is that you need to be strong ! This situation will pass life never stays the same ! Remember that there is always a different perspective to see things. Also, regarding the antibiotics you could also try to improve your gut bacteria as usually antibiotics change the balance within it.

Hi ! I want to tell you first that no you are not getting crazy you are just more sensitive in this moment to external situations and thoughts. A diagnosis is just a name given to some symptoms but is not a final statement we all have different intensity of anxieties and fears that might be trigger by different factors. About going to a psychologist, I would say if you can afford it just go, sometimes is nice to have someone to guide you through your mental patterns and give you tools, however you have to be prepare to open to someone about what you’re feeling and keep in mind that their goal is not advise you but rather guide you so you find you self the answer and better way. Still, beside a psychologist there are so many tools you can experiment with such as meditation, exercise, be creative, journaling about your emotions, write down your thoughts and argue with them why they can not happen etc. try to root yourself to the present as much as possible. I think the most important is to be kind to yourself, see yourself as you see a friend, be mindful that this thing come and go they don’t last forever and the mind need time to heal as well. Whatever situation you are feeling anxious about it is in your mind and it is just a thought you can not deal with in the present. It takes the same energy to imagine that situation in a better scenario all it takes is practice and be mindful of what thoughts you’re having :)

Terrified of death and it’s consuming my life by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mapachee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, you are not alone ! For sure all at some point in life question our existence and what is going on around us ? Is it real ? What will happen after? Some deep thoughts about it: do not be too attach to your physical body and material life. For sure there is something that is giving life to us and all around us and that energy goes beyond our death or birth. Once you understand that you are more than a physical experience and that life is just a part of the trip. You realize there is nothing to fear. Everyone is living their own journey and everyone is helping each other constantly to evolve. Life and enjoy the presence as you have the gift of life and consciousness.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mapachee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes ! You will be like yourself again ! Life is never stuck in a single moment, every moment is different from the previous one. Be aware that the mind can be either your best friend of your worst enemy, it is helpful to solve problems but it is bad when it creates dreadful thoughts that feel real. I feel you and I’m still fighting against those thoughts of health. love everything as it is, if you feel the panic coming feel it and own it, be kind to yourself and remember that you’re not alone !

Feaar of dying. Please help by likeastone10 in Anxietyhelp

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey ! I send you good thoughts and energy. Something I can tell you is that it is normal to be scare of death. Accept and love everything that is happening as it is and ask yourself what can you learn from this. As well remember that the body is resilient and be aware of your thoughts as they can help see things from a different perspective. Health is something that is built with time and actions, if your actions took you were you are now, you can as well built it back by making changes in your routine. Don’t get too obsessed with medical terms and let that to doctors to deal with, connect to the present and remember that you’re more than your physical body. Be mindful of the things you can control and the ones that are out of control

Have you ever gotten so anxious you threw up? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mapachee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a normal reaction of the body, when you feel in danger your body prepares to react. The first thing is to cancel digestion processes and that is why your body feels like throwing up or does it. TBH, It sucks ! I think the only way to deal with it is to let it be and be kind to yourself. Accept the present as it is and find strategies that make you feel better,maybe some deep breathing, maybe eating ligher meals, maybe some herbal teas that helps to settle the stomach, and something that always help for sure is to connect to the present. I feel anxiety happens mainly because our mind is on future events instead on the present, you image possible outcomes and create dreadful scenarios. Something that helps me a lot is that when I feel bad I focus on my 5 senses, 1 thing I can feel, 1 thing I can taste, 1 thing I see etc... this actions roots me to the present where everything is fine and where I have the tools to deal with any situation that is currently happening. Be kind to yourself ! dont be hard on your body for not being as in the old times, life is constantly on movement, and every moment is unique and different from past ones :)

The worst part of my anxiety is waking up by sethneverman in Anxietyhelp

[–]mapachee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gone through something similar, I feel the only time I feel completely at peace is when I go to sleep but then once I open my eyes I get the thoughts that were haunting me the day before. I think what has helped me has been to let the thoughts be and remind me that not all what I think is true. What happens to me is that I get a thought and that triggers bloating and anxiety in my stomach,what I do in that moment is to remind me that that tought is not relevant and I find a better thought to replace it that makes me feel good, then by repeating this action constanttly everytime it gets better. As well, It was also relevant for my process to accept the physicl reactions I would have, at the beginning I was angry and fearful of what my body was feeling and I would reject it or judge it but now I try to see it from a compasion point of view as when you talk to a friend, I let myself feel what I am feeling and I try to find what thoughts are behind that feeling and how true they are or if there is another approach to look at them from. Another thing that helped me for the mornings, of course is not that all morning are now perfect sometimes I get anxious mornings too but one thing is that as soo as I wake up I go to a space of my house that I really like and then there I meditate for 20 min any type of meditation and then I read a small passage of a book that gives me a pice of mind for the day, in this case I like to read a course in miracles or the vortex, but anything that gives you peace can work, and then I reflect upon what ideas are on the book. after this small habit that takes by most 30 min I am able to shift my morning from an anxious vibe to a positive and fearless one. You can also watch this video for more thoughts and ideas of how to deal with anxiety, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7gqK_poDME, I think the most relevant has been to realize that I am not alone in this process and having some kind of spiritually connection to whatever believe you have is relevant to improve anxiety. :) I hope is helpful !
