Its ok to:
It’s ok to cry when your stressed out or down…
It’s ok to attack a pillow or a wall when your angry or upset. As long is you don’t harm yourself or others.
It’s ok to call off from a social event If your feeling overwhelmed and suddenly don’t have the strength to go. Due to your anxiety or depression eating you alive.
Its ok to take time out to take care of yourself. Even if you hate your self ( this is especially a big one that I have a hard time doing). Self care is important and healing in many different forms from taking a nice long warm bath or shower. Make your self something to eat even if its basic like toast, ramen, or even cereal and milk. put on some clothes that make you feel comfy and happy. ( like for me my favorite outfit my blue star wars sweatshirt with a cami underneath, ripped jeans and sneakers) Brush your hair etc. There’s a lot you can do with this one!
Its ok to talk about whats bothering you to someone you trust and If they walk away. That’s their problem not yours.
Its ok to get help! We all fall to the bottom at one point the only way to go is up from there.
I am sorry if this post just seems like one big ramble of words. But my anxiety is seriously eating me alive right now and thought I’d try writing something to help calm myself down.
Thanks for reading! 🙂

Aww I really liked this post. A lot of people need to hear those words. Thank you for that.
What are you anxious about? Do you want to talk about it?
Your welcome. It was pretty much the after effects of anxiety from a mental breakdown after a fight with my sister earlier. My body was trembling to the point my arms were shaking and I almost dropped my laptop. I’m ok for now. Thank you for asking!
Thank you! My anxiety is crippling today and your post makes me feel not so alone. When I’m anxious eating is a big problem for me. Comfy clothes sound good too! I hope you’re feeling better!
Had an anxiety attack once. It was horrible. I actually committed myself over it. Did n’t need to. They missed it completely somehow!! later , after I got out, Shrink said that if it last ed less than 48 hours I would not likely be harmed in a lasting way. It lasted maybe 24 hours. It was horrible.
This anxiety has lasted over a week and already sent me to the ER once. Shrink gave me a pill for it but it’s not helping.
@clipped -wings I can only barely imagine a week ! of anxiety. I would be desperate climbing the walls. That is absolutely awful what you just went through. Pills not working, damn. Is the anxiety letting up it all?
Your welcome sweetheart. I have a similar problem with eating as well. I hope your ok!
