What does neptunic lesbian mean?

Oh! A Neptunic lesbian is someone who’s attracted to non-binary people and women, sometimes seen as anyone but men or sometimes as excluding masculine-presenting non-binary people as well.

Anxiety Attack Advice

Hello! I know this is probably too late for this time, but maybe it'll be helpful next time (hopefully there won't be a next time, but that's wishful thinking). I hope you're okay and feeling better now, though! :)

Well, firstly, you have the classic methods like:

- the 3-3-3 method - focus on three things you can see around you, then focus on three things you can hear around you, then focus on three things you can feel. This should help you ground you and hopefully slow your spiralling.

- breathing. It sounds dumb, I know, and it's really not easy, but you should try to concentrate on the rhythm of your breathing. Breath in through your nose for 4 seconds, then out through your mouth for 4 seconds.

- relaxing your muscles- it helps relieve stress and can stop the panic attack. Slowly unclench you hand and let your finger go limp. Then your palm. Then your wrist. Then your forearm. And so on and so on. Keep going until your whole body is relaxed and limp, then you should no longer be as stressed.

And here's some things that work for me, which may or may not make things worse for other people, so only do this if you think it may work for you:

- Distractions- find any way to distract yourself. This can include:

> putting on a vine compilation so that your brain concentrates on those and starts quoting them along, eventually leading you away from the panic.

> standing up and going to get some water or make some tea (camomile is good). It's a task that forces you to move and do things, so it forcibly pulls you back to reality. Warning though! If your hands tremble and shake, I suggest being careful with the boiling water!

> talking to someone. As a person who's really shy and hates social interaction, I find that distracting myself from anxiety with other stress is somehow helpful. Also, a conversation can help ground you, bringing you down from a high, forcing you to focus on your replies.

> stroking a pet. Running your fingers through their fur is destressing and it grounds you because it forces you to feel the fur. If you don't have a pet around, a fluffy pillow will do just as well.

> taking a look at your hand. Have you ever noticed how your fingers fold and bend when you press in specific parts of your hand? It's fun to play and mess around with. Also, once again, it makes you aware of the feeling.

> lighting a candle and focusing on the way the flames dance and move, and the quiet popping sounds the wick sometimes makes. It's a grounding device because it forces you to concentrate on the sounds and sights around you. Also, fire moves slowly, which is also relaxing.

- Ranting- rant to someone. Simply just put the panic attack into words and complain about how much it's fucking up your life. This can be irl or a written piece to someone. Just make sure someone hears it! That gets you stressing about how they'll respond and if maybe you overshared. Also, it just gets things off your chest.

- Rationalising- this sounds a lot easier than it actually is, but try to think about what caused the response. What caused this? Is this an appropriate response? What would you rather be doing right now? Is there really a good reason for this or are you just being dumb? I'm sorry! Guilt tripping just works for me.

I hope you find these at least a little useful! And I'll remind you that I'm always down to talk, be it through dms or through asks! :)

Take care of yourself! I love you! <3

Hey guys it’s been a while, if you still interact with me??? Thank you???

Figured other people could use this, and you’re an angel so thank you for everything you’ve ever said and done for me. I remember when tumblr was where I was all of the time, I think you might’ve saved my life a couple times with all of your kind words, and I thank you so much.

Love ya <3

Actively taking part in a relationship isn't annoying darling. It shows that you care! And if others tell you otherwise, at least know that I'd love and appreciate someone for putting in that effort :)

I just found out what those rotating sphere with rings thingies in the Valley of Triumph Citadel are

They're called Armilliary Spheres!

According to Wikipedia it's supposed to be a model of objects in the sky, also called a Spherical Astrolabe.
