not okay (got told i have clinical anxiety today; anyone else?) Tw: anxiety

Yeah.. I mean..being in love with someone and knowing that they won't reciprocate those feelings.

Yeah

I see anxiety. I join.
Hello, I've been suffering from anxiety and depression since I was 10. Mine is sorta like a rollercoaster. I can feel like a total boss one day then the next I'll have a breakdown because somebody glared at me. I used to struggle with presentations but I've since found a school where I feel comfortable and no longer completely shut down. In no way am I saying I don't still experience panic attacks, because that would be the biggest lie ever.

Well, I am glad that you worked out a way to be able to do presentations.

Honestly just act super confident no matter what. Fake it 'til you make it. Your brain eventually falls for the false confidence and then boom, it's no longer fake.
(granted I'm having a panic attack while writing this but I excessively talk when I'm nervous so)

Oh I do that too, I talk waaaay to much lol. Its great. makes me more nervous and makes it worse. Endless circle.

I learned this thing that helps with anxiety/panic attacks.

So when you start to panic or whatever. Name 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch (while touching them), 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you can taste. It helps by focusing on your surroundings and lowering your heartrate.

I learnt that from a tv show, my sister, and my therapist, in that order.

Fosters

its a great show.

You should watch it. I recommend.

…I had an anxiety attack yesterday

Social anxiety.

100% same

Well, I was fine, granted I stayed in my room the whole time. Even though my house was full of strangers.
