5 Simple Ways to End Anxiety and Panic Attacks

The single, most important thing that you need to know when you are suffering from a panic attack or general stress is how to breathe correctly. When we panic, our bodies naturally start to breathe incorrectly. Unfortunately, the more inefficient your breathing, the worse your fear becomes, and a vicious cycle of panic starts, leaving you feeling completely out of control.

13 yo Obi-Wan: You guys are keeping me captive 🥺

Jaster: Ob’ika, we are bringing you back to the temple to reunite with your people.

Obi-Wan: 🥺 then why am I in a cage?

Jaster: *looks pointedly at Jango covered in bite marks, bandages and a torn kute*

Jango: Jas’Buir, he’s really cute, the bites didn’t even hurt 🥺

Obi-Wan: Yeah, I’m just making friends 🥺

Jaster: *soul deep sigh* I am not letting you out of the cell so you can maul my ad again.

Jango: Buuuir, he’s just an ad’ika, lookit his ik’aad fangs, he won’t actually hurt me!

Jaster: You we’re begging me to get his fangs out of your wrist five minutes ago.

Jango: He’s just teething!!

Jaster: Jan’ika, I know you want to keep him, but he’s not even house broken yet.

Jango: Neither was I when you adopted me!! He’s chosen me! Lemme keep him!

Obi-Wan: 🥺 I will be a good boy if you stick your fingers in my enclosure 🥺

Jaster: *physically holding Jango back* No. We will revisit this when the baar’ur has given him a Xanax omfg- *dragging Jango out of the ship hold*

#and that’s how Jango adopted a baby 🥰#star wars #obi wan kenobi #incorrect star wars quotes #jaster mereel #jango fett #Obi really liked Jango but being lost gave him anxiety and Stewjoni anxiety means I BITE YOU I BITE YOU I BITE YOU #and Jaster is the only one comprehending that rn #basically Obi can’t consent to an adopting at the exact moment so he’s tryina stop Jango from being an idiot till the kid got a Xanax in hi #those notes added later cause I literally stopped in the middle of the sidewalk on the way home to write this #it’s also based off that one scene in Futurama where Zoidberg keeps attacking Amy while in heat #fool me seven times shame on you fool me eight or more times shame on me #but Jango is too enamored with the baby to step back he’s a chew toy now

how do you know the difference between a huge anxiety attack and a panic attack?

#i think i had a panic attack yesterday but idk......#god it felt so awful and it went on for like 3 hours #but i also had like a hundred things going on so idk if it was like the accumulation of everything or if it was really a panic attack yk #i was at the fair with my family waiting for my best friend to arrive bc i was going to hang out with her #and yk it's a place full of people and we were standing right next to a huge speaker hearing a man talk #and also each place in the fair has different music playing super loud and you can hear all of them at the same time (+ the flashing lights #all that causes me anxiety every since i was little (even if i didn't know it was anxiety back then)#so i *knew* i was going to have the greatest time and i didn't really want to go there in the first place #but even with that i wasn't really haven't a bad time (yet)#we were just stading there and i was waiting for my friend to call me so we could go somewhere else #she called me to tell me she was coming and right when i hung up the phone i felt a really strong pang on my belly #and idk at first i thought it was period cramps but it was weird bc my period had actually stopped that same morning #also i had taken a painkiller right before going there bc all that i mentioned earlier also gives me migraines so there's that too #so yeah the pangs kept getting stronger and it hurt so fucking bad to the point my legs started trembeling #my vision blured and every sound around me seemed to almost fade away #there wasn't any place i could sit down so i gad to cling to my dad and he had to hold me so i didn't fall to the ground #i think i almost (?) fainted in his arms too #after a while the dizzines went away and my dad went to get me smth to drink and i mostly got my hearing and vision back to normal #all that was like 10 minutes max but then the pangs kept hitting every minute or so for the next 3 hours #we found a place to sit and find smth to eat but i couldn't eat anything without wanting to throw up #my legs wouldn't stop shaking like fucking crazy and i kept going from feeling like i was freezing to sweating from how hot i felt #idk i've had smth like this (w/o the pangs) happen to me before a bunch of times but never That strong and it usually lasted 5-10min max #we ended up having to go home and i had to take some more painkillers and my sleeping pills to be able to calm down a little #i'm pretty sure i fell asleep from exhaustion after everything and i'm still feeling a bit weird after almost 24 hours since it happened #anyways. the thing is idk if all that was caused bc of my anxiety #or if it was smth completely unrelated and i just had such a bad tummy ache that it made me feel bad enough to cause All That yknow #i think it felt pretty much like how i've heard people describe a panic attack but again i'm not sure #yeah.........#maca speaks

Nitocris is so incredibly cool

#‘oh you’re literally poison? you’re scared you’ll hurt me? baby girl I totally understand which is why while I will respect your boundaries’#I will also show you that I’m more than capable of BECOMING IMMUNE #nothing on earth can stop Nitocris’s unstoppable charm attack #she was really like ‘my magic is stronger. I can handle it xx’#loved how she didn’t disregard serenity’s anxiety either …so sweet #my post

just got a prescription for drugs i had to sign for at the pharmacy. lets fucking go

#i had my specialist appointment today and i was DREADING it. everything was going wrong #the bus didn’t come. i didn’t have food. the doc was running an hour behind #by the time i got there i was half starved having a mild anxiety attack #but then she pulled out my ultrasound results and it showed fucking adenomyosis which means i likely have endometriosis too #let me tell you boys i almost started crying in there #after years of doctors telling me to suck it up & stop being a pussy i have actual proof that i’m not just being a pussy. CRYING #also the specialist told me my gp put me on estrogen for no reason (what i needed was progesterone) and i was so mad bc #that shit gave me feminising features i did not want and which are now irreversible #aside from not actually solving the problem…#anyway i’ve now got paperwork for surgery and different kind of progesterone pill plus the insane ass painkillers i had to sign for #i’m very happy with how that went. we are winning today boys #i feel bad for her bc i was so overwhelmed when she was flinging info at my starved brain at the speed of light #i kinda just shut down & was acting like a corpse in there. i must’ve looked really rude lol #it took me the hour’s walk back into town (was not taking the bus again 😂) to process everything #life

trying not to anxietypost rn

#hashtag when the positive affirmations do not stop the body-wracking sobs #these are the worst bc they last hours and leave me kinda mentally paralyzed #just spiralling and beating myself up and not being able to stop thinking about my fuckups #and then beating myself up again for not getting up and at least getting other work donr #*done #trying to balance validating my feelings with rational actions #but i was already having a bad week and then a bad morning and now a worse afternoon #and so this attack wasn’t a sudden one it was weeks in the making and i just. i knew. and i couldn’t stop it #and then it’s like bc of the anxiety disorder i can’t gauge how accepting ppl will be when i tell them i fucked up #and i just can’t seem to completely stop crying so i literally can’t move on with my day #and i’m trying to balance between letting myself work through the stress with not indulging in the untrue negative ones #rambling

we need to talk about how, as a generation, our moods re so insanely dependent on how often we get responses from the people we're talking to

#just saw a tiktok about how this person can not hold a normal conversation when her “mans vibe seems off and he's taking long to reply”#situationship culture needs to die btw. its the downfall of actual healthy relationships imo #I used to think it was normal but basing your emotions SO WHOLLY on one singular other person is extremely not normal #this isn't an attack i do this too #how do we stop it is the real question #anxious attachment #anxiety #gen z

having one of those Times where on one hand everything is completely fine but, on the other hand, i am drowning and there’s so much to do and i’m at my wit’s end and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#like. h.#i have been having a low grade anxiety attack for two days now and i don’t know how to stop it #so i’m just trying to be kind to myself and get done as much as i can #even though my brain just wants to scream and bang pots together and sleep #it’s in times like these that i REALLY have to fight myself #to accomplish anything #but also i’m getting everything done and ahead of schedule so it’s FINE #but also i’m dying from the stress of everything and i want to curl up in a ball and die #and i DON’T want to die #but that’s where my brain goes when i’m stressed bc saying that is easier than actually figuring out what the problem is and dealing with i #unfortunately right now i think the problem is just that there’s a lot happening at the moment #so there’s nothing i can really do except keep pushing through it #but :((#i just want to stop feeling like this #based on past experience - i should come down soon #Panic (emotion) generally only lasts a few days #so we shall see

#so #I guess I need to vent bc I can’t handle my anxiety and isolation any longer ig #my mother has been in the hospital for a week now #she had pneumonia but then they found all these things #like a blood clot in the lung and stuff #and they said it was symptoms of long covid bc me and her got hit hard in 2021 with covid #and they put her on a lot of medication and ran a bunch of tests #and they said that from long covid #she has some damage to her heart #idk anything about medical stuff and she’s waiting on the cardiologist to go talk to her #but I am 2000 miles away #and feel so helpless and so hopeless #and i’m really close with my parents/the baby of the family #and I have had severe anxiety since she went in #and each day it gets worse bc tests show something new #and I literally do not know how to handle it #I also have obsessive repetitive thoughts that are god awful and they have not stopped in a full week #so I have made myself ultimately SO sick from anxiety like I have my own chest pains rn #and then the hypochondriac in me is like…I had covid when she did and we had the same lingering symptoms so like. is my heart damaged too 🙂#and yeah like. I have had severe panic attacks daily now like I just had one in a parking lot and had to go home and now I just feel?????#so numb and so????? I genuinely hate this I cannot handle shit like this

#ableism tw #(( ooc. ))#venting tw #when i'm in a 'be as ableist as possible ' competition and my opponent is my mil 0_0 #i can't drive. its not safe for me to drive. i don't have a license #it's not a good idea for me to get a license atm bc my health issues make it so i would be a risk and danger to myself/others on the road #but trying to explain that to mil doesnt stop her ( and husband ) from making snide little comments about how immature and childish #i am bc i dont drive. how im just lazy bc i 'choose' not to drive. guilting me really hard lately bc there's been some circumstances #that would be easier to deal with if i could also drive... and she made sure i knew that. repeatedly. so did husband #man. the ableism doesn't end. screaming at me and throwing literal tantrums about all the housework not being done to her standards #bc i literally collapsed halfway thru. treating me like shit due to my anxiety disorder and panic attacks. aka acting like i'm just being #'dramatic'... when my ptsd / anxiety are kicking my ass #and husband not having my back with her makes it all the worse. anyway. sorry rant over. gonna get back to writing

Ever since I finished my last piece, I've had like zero motivation to draw. I've tried to draw Raya and a friend's oc but nothing's coming out right and it has sent me reeling.

#kadia chatter #It's fine #the era of my art have come to an end for the year i guess #*annoyed eye roll*#I'm still gonna try to finish cy but we'll see how she turns out #cause right now I can't get the eyes right #I've been thinking about commission biomecharnotaurus #I would love to see raya in his style #but idk how the dollar goes to euro so I'll need to figure that out #then get over my anxiety and reach out lol #I've written like 100 words and then my sister texted me and full on anxiety attack #so I stopped for the day

im glad i wont have to wait much longer to know how thingd will go but im scared that i might find oyt things will go bad soon

#the bin #i want to know now but i also never wanat know #i think i will be stuck with an anxiety attack untill i know the answer #i could find put today though. apparently the person is coming there today so. possibly.#i cant stop crying everyday about how much i just wanna move home. im tired of living here. i miss my siblings so much.#i got to play a game with 2 of them today. i have barely got to talk to them so it was nice. but i think its made me even more sad.#i cant stand living here. im stuck being miserable. the only people i care about live so far away and i barely get to talk to them at all #i cant ever do anything fun at all. my life feels so empty. im tired of this. i didnt think i could get more isolated but i was very wrong #i just have to wait and hopefully the news is good. maybe it will be. i really dont wanna be stuck here. and i dont wanna have to find #another apartment to live in also. i wanna move home. i hate that i had no choice but to move far away from my family at 17 and then got #stuck in a place where i dont know anyone but 1 person who then ditched me. what the hell.

eeuuaghh i would like everyone to know that i apologise if i have not responded to your reblogs/mentions/posts on tumblr, i have really terrible social anxiety and for some reason people talking to me makes my nervous system think i'm being hunted for sport by a resident evil boss. sorry if i havent responded i'm not being rude i'm just having a panic attack :P

additionally: social anxiety is actually the reason why a lot of my old posts from late 2022 had weird spacing and spelling mistakes. i was too anxious to type properly

#sorry this seems like a random thing to post but it has been bugging me for a little bit now and i want to post it #and by a little bit i mean the entire time i've been on this website #as for the reason i have social anxiety: i went to a really terrible high school full of dangerous people-#-who were literally like. the worst most bigoted people ever. not everyone there was bad of course but 90% of them were-#-and that stunted by social development by 5-6 years and now every time someone talks to me i feel like i'm about to get murdered #also primary school was. bad. the other kids could sniff out the autism in me and didn't like me for it #this post isn't directed towards anyone specifically but also it kinda is because there's a DM from someone-#-that i haven't responded to in literally 8 months and every time i think about it i get anxious #i'm sorry!!! i'm not trying to ignore you on purpose and i want to say something but my brain literally will not let me out of fear :(#i'm not used to getting talked to directly so every time i do my entire nervous system starts screaming and running in circles #it's kinda ridiculous because it's like. come on. why are you having a panic attack over a message on tumblr it's LITERALLY just words on-#-a screen what are you freaking out about. but also it's like hhhhh unfamiliar social situation scary. help.#unrelated to that but i am very worried about what people will think of me and like i know i really shouldn't worry about that-#-because i can't control what other people think of me and it really shouldn't be any of my or their business. but also-#-i have legitimate trauma that backs my fears up and every time someone is even slightly critical towards me my brain just goes-#-''see? it happened again i TOLD you it would happen again. idiot. you shouldn't have said anything''#and then i hide and cry and lay in bed thinking about how i'm going to die until i suddenly snap out of it and think-#-''wait hang on why should i care. i love being a weirdo on the internet why should i let my anxieties stop me''#and then it happens AGAIN and it's just a viscous cycle at that point #be silly on the internet -> detect slight criticism -> think everyone hates you again -> go back on your bullshit after 3 days of crying #and it makes sense because that exact same pattern happened to me countless times as a child.#be silly in school -> get made fun of for it -> get hated for it -> rinse and repeat until you think everyone is dangerous and they hate yo #if i could put it in a metaphor it would be like me being a little rabbit who thinks everyone is a scary wolf because of their big shadows-#-even though they're all also rabbits and i'm just paying attention to the scariest parts of them because i only know what wolves look like #trauma does fucked up things to your psyche lemmie tell you #social anxiety #anxiety disorder #i'm literally the ''too scared to order food'' stereotype except it's not a stereotype because it's real and every time i look at the 7/11-#-at my campus i go ''hm but what if they hate me for the food i buy there'' even though they're LITERALLY SELLING IT what is WRONG with me #anyway um. social anxiety sucks and i don't mean to not reply ro everyone who talks to me i am sorr y

hm. don't think about it too hard or you'll never sleep a wink at night again don't worry about me and these green eyes mama just know that i love you (and i'll see you when you get here). etc etc

#SUPER normal about preachers daughter jsyk. super normal about it #not the first time ive listened to it i just did a page in my journal abt it so its on my mind again gndfbhjdkf #levi.txt #im doing pages about media that inspires me in different ways and im not sure how to articulate it #but the way she uses different genres of music to tell the story is fucking incredible and always fits the story so well #im a big fan of concept albums to begin with but i feel like she specifically uses genre to do it in such an effective way #starting off with american teenager and the pop sound with the lyrics betraying the story shes actually starting to tell #i have been able to listen to ptolemaea Once (1) because i almost had an anxiety attack. its so well made #on the other hand ive been trying to learn televangelism on piano bc i love it sm and it sounds so peaceful to me #will NEVER stop thinking about sun bleached flies as a praise and worship song. it sounds just like one its perfect #the bridge is so 'hills*ng 7 minute worship team song during the altar call' to me (is projecting)
