I need positive thoughts and vibes

I'm having an insane amount of anxiety and panic right now. I got triggered late last night and I was already elevated. I'm stuck in flight fight freeze and I can't get out. I'm so messed up right now. My mind is sensitive and fragile because of the anxiety and panic attacks. I've been messed up all day. I was doing so good for so long and now I can't eat at all, I'm nauseated constantly. I had a whole banana all day. My sleep is disrupted, I'm so disregulated that I can't see straight. Idk how to get out of this and I'm in between therapists right now.

Please send positive thoughts and vibes my way. I can't live like this. Thank you

Thank you, I'm just watching TV. Not the best for distraction but it's really all I can do. I gotta sit and not do too much right now. I hope you feel better soon.

oh, and sending positive thoughts and vibes

I miss my cats.

Oi!, Chahiro, Spoto

I havenโ€™t seen them in a year and a half.

sending you a huge hug! I myself am just overcoming an anxiety spell. Give yourself grace. Breathing helps me so much!

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ I just gotta remember that

You have to do this for yourself - say 'You are going to be fine and tiny step - one mouthful of sugar or food to help you with medication' and you will have done alot for yourself and then rest if can't sleep. Let your body rest and breathe calmly, slowly and gently

Here's a random picture of my shrooms...

Hey there... when I get this outta whack where I can't think or focus, getting in a hot ๐Ÿ› bath with music is one of the only things that will soothe me. But it's getting INTO the tub that's the trick. The thought of preparing it can be enough to sideline my efforts. Maybe your wife could draw the bath for you so you could try. You'd just have to pick the music while you wait.

Try this one first...it always makes me cry, it did just this morning and it felt Great to release some of that built up emotional pressure.

Omg the shrooms are so crazy looking! Yes, it seems that would help. A shower helped a little last night. A bath sounds fantastic. With a bath bomb maybe. I actually cried today which was good bc I felt numb before. It wasn't like too much and maybe I do need more. Thank you luv. I appreciate all of this!!!

Definitely a bath bomb ๐Ÿ’ฃ and candles and dim lights, if possible ๐Ÿ›€ nothing harsh or loud

This is the view from my driveway...the clouds kinda cover the mountains but I stood here and cried this morning while listening to "the mountains win again" while looking out and thinking that millions of years from now, nothing man made will be left standing as mother nature reclaims her rightful throne in our ailing planet...but these mountains, these silent sentinels standing timeless over eons, will be recording history and standing guard for eternityโ™พ๏ธ...or at least until the sun engulfs our solar system and the universe rolls on... expanding at an ever accelerating pace that we can't understand or fathom.... I guess it's not for us to understand anyway ๐Ÿฅฒ

Love and hugs to you ๐Ÿ˜˜ my friend

That is f*ckin beautiful!! What a view! Crying helps, it truly does. Thank you...seriously. You've helped immensely. Those clouds are particularly nice and fluffy and have pretty colors. ๐Ÿ˜

But, you're right. We'll all be gone and the beauty remains. What "we're" (I mean the old guys with white hair in the government that won't acknowledge climate change) doing to the planet is pitiful and dreadful. They should be ashamed. Our poor planet.

I need to reconnect with nature, I believe it will help.

I get it though. Intense and exhausting crying has yet to hit me. It will though. I hold it together for others. Maybe it's time to be a bit selfish. ๐Ÿค”

Thank you friend, it means so much to me.

I love your vibe and your compassion. You're a blessing to me as well โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน thank YOU for being a reliable sounding board for me and countless others. I'm so glad you're here today and yes...neglecting ourselves is a deeply ingrained habit. We feel we don't deserve to be happy and I know I self sabatage ALL the time. My brain is a traitor and has a mind of it's own ๐Ÿคญ

WHY do you think that you can't do fun posts? Post whatever you want... it's up to you ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿ˜‰ if you're feeling good, do a fun post. If you're feeling bad, ask for support. That's what this place is for. Use it to your advantage and leave everything else on the doorstep! You're just as welcome as everyone else here! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ„

It WAS a family secret but since HU is extended family Iโ€™m okay with sharing. ๐Ÿ˜€ Itโ€™s Pasta Con Broccoli & Mushrooms in an Alfredo sauce, lg shell noodles, and a ton of parmesan cheese. Sauce is similar to one attached. Maybe a few additions (but that IS a secret). My mom might be in this site for all I know. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Hey, I hope you're better now. And all the wishes could help you. Take one from me. I really wish noone has to go through such phases, as I can feel how painful and scary it can be right now. I myself feel like I am dying from inside. I wish all the happiness for you. Take care.
