Feel free to vent below!!

Also mini story time!

Okay so I was in the school bathroom yesterday one of the small ones with 2 stalls and I started feeling light headed so I sat on the floor (yuck) and I almost fainted good thing my bestie was there with me bc she helped me so much but then I started to have a dry panic attack and someone made my friend go back to class and this random girl walked in and asked who my teacher was so I told her then minuets later my teacher come running with the school nurse and my friends.

Does anyone else suddenly feel sad for no reason, or feels really sad/guilty when they were just happy?

Anxiety tips & tricks

Wed, 31 May 2023 23:33:38 +0000

Anxiety and stress affects everyone, some more than others. And I swear, us kids are going through an INTENSE amount of stress ALL THE TIME. Literally 24/7 theres something to worry about. So to help with the tough times, I have tips for anxiety, as I have had diagnosed depression and anxiety for 3 years (actually anxiety for four). Use these tips for anxiety anytime and you’ll feel calmer!

1. The Breathing Technique

Yeah, I know, I know. They ALL SAY to do the boring breathe in and out. But it does help. Plus, this has a bit of a twist. So, when your stressed, take 5 deep breaths. Each time you breathe in, however, imagine your inhaling this bright holy light of goodness into your body. Then, when you breathe out, imagine breathing out a cloud of smoke that’s full of the anxieties in your body. Each time you breathe, you cleanse yourself of the bad stuff and welcome the good stuff. And after the five breaths you have become the little angel your grandma keeps telling you that you are (even though most the time you aren’t). And your CALMER.

2. The %$#&!!!

We can’t curse, otherwise we get our butts kicked by the adults. However, science has literally PROVED that cursing makes you feel better. So the next time you curse, tell your mom that science is on your side for once. Even if you whisper them, though, curse words do make you feel better because your releasing your anger through them or something. So CURSE AWAY*, MY FELLOW CHILDREN. *appropriately

3. The Senses Trick

When your stressed, sometimes focusing on yourself for a moment helps. So think to yourself and answer these questions: How am I feeling? What do I see? What do I hear? What do I feel? What do I smell? What do I taste?

Then ask yourself once your ready how you feel again. The answer may be a little better than the first time.

4. Touchy-touchy!

I do this a lot and it’s kind of weird so I recommend you do it when your alone in your room. Walk around the room and touch everything you see at the speed you find best. You can, like I do, think about what you’ve done to each of these items, or how they’ve contributed to you. I know, it’s weird. It can help though! I like the textures on my fingers the most. It’s calming.

5. Split Brain

I definitely talk to myself a lot. It’s funny. But sometimes if I talk back and forth to myself, I feel better. I say to myself all my stresses and then I respond back with all my reassurances. It makes me feel as if someone understands me, or someones there to help, even though it happens to be myself. I laugh at myself and the dumb things I say too. The reassurances are worthwhile!

6. Things to Do

There are SO MANY things that can take your mind off of your anxieties too. These things include…. (Listening to music)(Going outside)(Laughing at jokes)(Doodling)(Reading)(Watching your favorite show)(Cleaning [when your actually in the mood])(Hanging with friends)(Getting exercise)(Doing what you like)(Cooking)

You can also refer to this post, as I am here to tell you these tips, and that…

(1) You are beautiful, stunning, and perfect looking in every way! (2) You are so strong and can do anything hard thats getting in your way! (3) Your not alone, someone out there is worrying about the same thing! (4) Your amazing in every way, and your family and friends do love you! (5) Nobody’s perfect, so kick back and relax.

I hope I helped you! Remember, you’re #2! (First is the worst, remember?) You guys take care of yourself, life will get better!!

I hope this helped!

This is just a vent of all my bottled up feelings that I have nobody to tell.

Lets start with my sexualiy. Right now, I identify as Genderfluid and Omnisexual. Meaningthat basically my gender kind of just changed throughout the week/day. It also means I am attracted to everyone, regardless of gender, but do have certain preferences. Yet im still not sure about it. Im 12 right now, and I've already come out to my family, and I've known I was gay since I was 10.

When I told my dad he just went silent. I know didn't believe me and though it was just a phase. My mom was also really supportive but she also doesn't understand what im going through. Mind you, im from the US, and as a trans, or semi-trans (gender fluid is under the trans umbrella!) person, I don't really feel safe. Im not going to get into politics or anything controvercial, but you get the idea.

My mom divorced my dad when I was 10, and when she first told me I was sitting in the living room crying. Mind you I was 10 and barely even knew what divorce was at the time. Then she told me the thing that I've literally never been able to get over . She looked a crying ten year old in the face and said "Just get over it".

So I've never really connected with her. My dad, on he other hand, is amazing. I love him and I can tell him literally anythung. He's super religious but he's very supportive of me.

And yet I feel like somethings missing from our relationship but I can't say what. My dad is sweet, don't get me wrong, but the one thing I just want him to say to me is that he's proud of me. I don't know why but I just need it. I have undiagnosed depression, anxiety, social anxiety, anger issues, self esteem issues, and insecurities. I just want someone to say they're proud of me and that they love me.

Im sorry if this is awkward Ik this is really weird but...yeah. Anyone else have any of these? Idk I just really need support. Thanks :)

Exam Anxiety Vent

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:37:50 +0000

Hi guys, I have a big maths final on Monday and I'm literally so stressed rn, it doesn't help that I'm always distracted and I don't know how to control myself!

I actually got Corona 2 times, ( believe it or not ) and that too viral corona . I was fine in my studies before that and research shows that even having corona one time affects your brain,your memory, your thinking ability etc:

And top of that are pressure of parents, when you come out of your study room prison you're immediately told to go back and study

I am also really full of anxiety over the exam and I sometimes realize I've been procrastinating for 2 hours and snap back and study for 15 minutes before taking long breaks and again procrastinating.

I really don't know what to do

social anxiety..?

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 11:52:35 +0000

So..last night I had a panic attack....cause I was afraid that today if we went anywhere outside my house...people would be constantly judging me? I worried about my friends thinking I'm weird and not wanting to be my friends anymore. I worried that if I went ice-skating the better skaters would think I'm a wimp and that I'm horrible at it. I couldn't breathe, several times I calmed down a bit but then it came back. For some reason, these worries are completely new. When I was little I had no care in the world about what other people thought about me. Weirdly, I don't worry about this when I'm actually in public, although I think from now on I will. Since I'm claustrophobic, when there are lot's of people in one space I need to get out. If those people are talking, screaming, etc I want to curl up into a ball and die. That's literally how I feel! I've always thought I could stand up for myself and other people but now I freak out at the idea. If I say something embarrassing the bullies will have another reason to tease me! What is this?!

I have these moments where I start to worry. But then, the worry turns in to feeling like there is not enough oxygen in the room. By then I can't breathe. Yea. It's sad. Guys, I don't know how to prevent these things!! Help mee!!

P.S. I know you can't completely get rid of anxiety, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to pass out every time I worry!
