#anxiety.

[dissociation-plus]

being in a constant state of distress where anything can trigger it is so hard. i can get distressed at the simplest of things, but i’ll get blamed for ✨being distressed✨

[joyce-stick]

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry again. I'm sorry. I'm always sorry. you don't know why I'm sorry.

I'm just anxious that I might be exploiting your emotional labor by talking to you. Or that I might be paying you in exposure by asking you to beta read my fanfiction. Or that I might be assaulting you by saying you're cute or nice or I would like to hug or kiss or cuddle you. Or that you might just hate me and be too nice to tell me how fucking annoying I am. Or that you didn't respond to my message or turned down my invitation to hang out or something because you really don't want to talk to me but don't want to block me because you don't want to be rude or whatever. Or that you're drafting a callout post about me right now, or are supplying gossip to someone else who is. Or even if none of this is true, you'll abandon me for being so anxious all the time all of the time, so I have to apologize for fearing all of this, all of this, and I have to apologize for apologizing,

I know it's stupid. But I still feel it. So I have to apologize in advance. All of the time. I'm sorry

you can say all the right words and wear all the right faces and nothing will change. they can feel you don't belong, feel it like blood in the water.

Let's normalize not treating people like they're important when they treat you like they're last option.

feel like this:

does anyone else with anxiety get a strange compulsion triggered by specific things? like i was in a first aid course today and they were discussing epipens (so there was a lot of talk about needles) and it triggered my compulsion i get when medical stuff is talked about around me. basically i get this strange urge to scratch my neck and my neck feels like strangely exposed and its like the air around the front of my neck is static-like and i feel mild panic? i kept putting material on my neck like the collar of my cardigan or one of my gloves bc wrapping my neck with material makes it feel more secure and idk if this is a universal thing or what but i wanna know if people get similar stuff

Thanks for ignoring my text about how fucked up I feel and instead reply with a "sorry forgot to reply....Anyways..." and talk about something completely else. Why did you even bother asking in the first place?!

[babysfirstwantedposter]

social anxiety is going to a shoe shop as a kid and buying the first pair you tried on even if you hated them and they were destroying your feet because you were too scared to say that

[dissociation-plus]

Any autistic / adhd people out there feeling like they might just have split personality ?

Like auti-me being

<i> Pls don’t talk to me. Let me crawl under the covers and stay there, bingewatching the same show for all eternity. And whatever you do, don’t touch me. </i>

And then adhd-me being

<b> I’m on top of the world. Let’s party, ooooh interesting new hobby, should try. Hate my job, let’s go back to school because this looks like a nice career change, or that, or maybe the third option is. What do you say? A lot of social interaction? Not a fan, but i can handle that, *totally forget the mental toll it takes*. </b>

It’s exhausting. Don’t trust myself to make decisions anymore.

The anxiety attack I developed Friday evening has not left me yet. It is really affecting my ability to function and to sleep.
