Damn Anxiety
Almost had a panic attack at the farmers market.
You OK?

Meh
school
why? anything in particular bothering you?

Oof that kinda sucks. Is there a possibility of turning it in late? And may I ask, what was the form about?
Oh, heck, that is something that I do literally all the time. I'm feeling the panic just thinking about it.
It was a Google form about CCP which is a thing where you can take college classes and get high school credit and I was going to do ccp but I decided not to because there were no classes I could or wanted to take and my mom's pissed that we didn't "talk about it" but it's my decision and we did talk about it. When it gave me a panic attack trying to figure out what to do when I went to schedule classes originally. Sorry, "tantrum".
OH MY GODS I cannot STAND it when I'm feeling overwhelmed so my decides that the best thing to do is yell at me about it. Like, sure, dad, that'll make me feel better. The best cure for feeling sick and panicking is MORE PANIC-INDUCING BEHAVIOR. Scientifically Proven™.

Well, at least it was your decision to not do it. Sorry I'm terrible at making people feel better.

oki ty for understanding

Oh no, what's up?
Who even knows?
I realize I'm hurting but… my anxiety keeps screaming at me that I'm faking and I'm doing it all for attention.
school
is anything in particular bothering you?
A lot of things in particular.
But see, even as I'm saying this, I feel like a complete fraud that's exaggerating minor problems
school
no, not at all, this is to vent. even if it's a minor problem :)
Oh, goodness, I feel you. I always feel like I'm just being dramatic and everything that goes wrong are just things I'm doing for attention. The thing is, your brain is exaggerating minor problems, and that's not your fault.
But then why does the pain feel so f**king overwhelming if it stems from tiny problems?
school
because it morphs, it mutates, it worms its way into your life while it grows
Well I don't know how long I can take keeping everything in.
It. Is. Your. Brain's. Fault. Not yours. Pain can stem from the tiniest of things because your brain convinces you that it's worse than it is, and sets off aaaaaalllllllll those emotional chemicals telling you to freak the frack out.
(Also, this is the space to not keep everything in. If you have to hold it in elsewhere, that's unfortunate, but you should talk about it with someone, it helps, I promise.)
