| Hey guys! How is everyone? |
Nighttime Thunderstorms with Hail| Boulder Creek |
| I hope you're able to move past your anxiety tonight. I live with mine every day; some days it's okay and others it feels impossible. I keep a 'not' journal; a quick overview of the week and anything that stood out (usually the night before my therapy appointment lol). It's on a note app on my phone that I add to with what's happening and what technique we worked on to better those feelings and thoughts. Talking about techniques helps a little, medication helps a bit to settle down and having a support system to reach out to whenever helps beyond anything else. |

| I think so, I would try talking about it but not out loud to anybody, everyone is asleep T-T |
| Boulder Creek |
| Oh no! That's annoying. Does it mean your core? Maybe hold a breath or something and focus on your diaphragm? Would talking about it help? Do you have a favorite or calming show, movie, podcast, book? Sometimes I'm so tense that I can't focus on media, so I get that. My go to is hp audiobook or a bookclub podcast about the shadow hunter series. Sometimes it's a cooking review show on yt. WeRateDogs is a great series too. |
| Crescent Estate |
| I don't know how in the world you are supposed to tense your stomach, mine is doing flip-flops lol |
| Crescent Estate |
| Boulder I was doing a follow along youtube tutorial for the muscle thing and the train near our house started blaring It's born :/ |
| Boulder Creek |
| Sometimes either sitting with the feeling helps (or I just anxiety paralyze) - or try a task. It can be simple like brushing your teeth or getting a glass of water. Something to make you move and also have the feeling of accomplishing something. |
| Boulder Creek |
| My therapist just taught me - Progressive Muscle Relaxation. yt a video to guide It was really helpful in calming down to a level state after having intense feelings (anxiety gets to me all too frequently) |
| Crescent Estate |
| I feel like if I listened to drums or something I would feel a little better, but right now I'm on edge and basically everything is making me mad lol |
| Calela Eventing |
| River Lol, i hate it when people play calming music, its so irritating. Mother's a therapist and her favorite sentance is "just take a deep breath". |
| Crescent Estate |
| I watched a video with breathing exercises and calming music a while ago, it just gave me more anxiety T-T |
| Crescent Estate |
| Winter Kind of worked, still a bit shaky, I need to go to bed O.o |
| Calela Eventing |
| Okay, reading is good (not on your phone though) or sometimes even just opening a window and looking out. |
| IceQueen |
| River Sometimes tensing all of my muscles at once and holding it for a few seconds relaxes me down (tricks my brain into think that we Got AwayTM from whatever stressed me out) |
| DSD Training Center |
| River, You could think of something that's safe for you and hasn't changed. |
| Crescent Estate |
| Cali I would but It's 11:00 at night for me, my family is asleep |
