Relaxing is freaking hard. It’s hard to turn off survival mode when you chronically feel safe.

Here’s some positivity for systems whose plurality is influenced by anxiety disorders!

Living with an anxiety disorder can be scary, overwhelming, and incredibly challenging. For many systems, their anxiety disorder may have influenced certain members, their plurality in general, or caused them to develop their system in the first place! So here’s to all the systems and headmates who have been impacted by their anxiety disorders!

🌻 Shoutout to headmates who are anxiety holders or who are symptom holders for their system’s anxiety disorders!

🎶 Shoutout to those who became plural due to trauma stemming from their anxiety disorders!

☀️ Shoutout to those who consciously created their system as a way to cope with their anxiety disorders!

☁️ Shoutout to systems and headmates whose anxiety disorders have given them phobias or uncommon fears!

🌻 Shoutout to systems who developed a dissociative disorder alongside an anxiety disorder in childhood!

🎶 Shoutout to systems and headmates who are often scared, nervous, lonely, or overwhelmed due to their anxiety disorders!

☀️ Shoutout to systems whose anxiety disorders cause them to need accommodations in order to live their best lives!

☁️ Shoutout to systems who can’t make friends, schedule appointments, order at restaurants, make phone calls, or do other seemingly “easy” tasks due to their anxiety disorders!

🌻 Shoutout to systems who are learning to cope with their anxiety disorders, and to those whose anxiety makes daily life a struggle!

While living as a system with an anxiety disorder can be challenging and complicated, we want to let you know that we see you and your presence in the plural community is absolutely welcome! It’s okay if you tend to lurk because you’re too anxious to interact, or if anxiety influences a lot of the decisions made by you and your system. Please know that there will always be a place for you here, just the way you are, and we are so happy to have you here!

You don’t have to be anxiety-free to be deserving of love and care! We hope that your whole system can find yourselves surrounded by folks who love and accept y’all for who you are. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

I can’t find the fucking post but it’s someone having a conversation with an inner Gordon Ramsey and they fuck up their food and instead of giving them shit, their hypothetical Gordon says that the reason that he yells at people on the show is because they are trying to pass of shit food to the public, so he couldn’t care less about a guy in his twenties fucking up ramen or something.

And it reminded me that, when my anxiety was really bad and I was unmedicated, I would literally envision Gordon judging the way I made my bed (a lá Hotel Hell), or if I was making frozen chicken nuggets or whatever. I was literally so anxious and guilt-ridden that I projected my feelings onto a guy who has ZERO idea I exist and has been shown to be very kind to people, even if they have messed up in the past.

Now that I am on Lexipro, my inner Gordon Ramsey is a lot kinder (more like a Junior Master Chef persona), and far less judgmental. I’m not almost killing anyone by putting raw shrimp next to cooked chicken, I’m just trying to do better every day and taking shortcuts when I need to.

And sometimes that includes making frozen chicken nuggets.

I think there's a misconception surrounding depression that it's the same as sadness, however I don't think that's it. I'm here laying awake at 5 am after waking up for no reason at 3:30, and I want to die even though I don't feel particularly sad in fact, I'm pretty sure I don't feel anything at all. I feel sad often, right now I don't. But I still think that I don't want to continue living anymore.

i've always hated tea but i made my own and it's actually not that bad plus i feel like i'm gonna sh!t my brains out so who knows, my goal is to reach 105lbs by monday and down to 100lbs by the end of the month

if i do that then i'll literally be in the 16s range for bmi and that's crazy to think about, it's crazy that i'm underweight when 2 1/2 years ago all i wanted was to lose a couple pounds so i wasn't overweight anymore

going from bmi 25 -> bmi 17.5 has shown me a lot about how people view me and it's honestly disappointing bc i was struggling more back then and no one cared but i nearly pass out once now and people act like i'm on my deathbed

Psst (come here..I have secret to tell you)

It's okay to have an anxiety disorder.

It's okay to have anxiety attacks.

It's okay to feel physically ill because of your anxiety.

It's okay if you need medication for your anxiety.

It's okay if you need therapy for your anxiety.

It's okay if your anxiety is based off of "irrational" things.

It's okay if you're extremely fidgety because of your anxiety.

It's okay if you struggle with talking because your anxiety.

You're still a human, and you deserve basic respect, even if you're always anxious. It's okay to ask for help when it's too much, or step back & take a break. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.

Have you drawn yourself, like a meet the artist page?

I'm so glad you asked!! This gave me an excuse to draw a better reference for my carnie oc, which funnily enough, I look exactly like!

I hope this was worth the wait (sorry it took forever to respond to, a brother had executive dysfunction 👉😎👉)

Good luck to everyone who tries to read my handwriting, thoughts and prayers are with you tonight 🙏

Hold it

Pom must be held when going to the store. Addie takes her Emotional Support Pokemon (E.S.P) work seriously don't argue. Lol

Dealing with my many emotions right now, so drawing Addie being my emotional support pokemon just seems right.

*Recap of my last therapy session*

me when I asked my therapist what she'd diagnosed me with and she said "gad":

"oh, and cptsd":

Their face when I asked, "That's it?":

Damn, okay Laura. 😭 For context, I just feel like there's so much going on inside my mind, I thought there would be more, which I promptly explained and she was super understanding about what I meant. Anyway, important to note that you should take care of yourselves and seek help if you can. 💛

Reminders from Laura: there is no speed-running therapy. Life is a marathon - be the tortoise, not the hare. You can't thrive if you're only in survival mode. Small changes first.

"i care about you even with your disorders and mental disabilities"

ok then, why did you get mad when i had an anxiety attack from you being not explaining why you were mad at me?

why did you get upset with me for not remembering to answer your texts when i had told you multiple times it was hard for me to remember most things?

why did you get mad when i couldnt remember your birthday even though you knew it was hard for me to remember dates?

why did you get mad when you made me so anxious that i had to leave school early?

why did you get mad when i didnt understand all the tiny social "cues" you were giving me that "told me" you were upset?

why did you get angry when i asked questions?

why did you get mad when my stimming made noise?

why did you get mad at me for not understand the subtext of what you were saying, despite it being completely different from what you were verbalizing?

why did you get mad when i actually did leave you alone when you told me to?

why did you get mad that i forgot to say good morning to you?

why did you get mad when i accidentally infodumped for long periods of time about something i was passionate about?

why did you get mad when i didnt seem happy because i wasnt smiling?

why did you get mad at me?
