feels like we're as close as strangers

kate. #424 Life isn't always easy but a damn good man once told me you should 'live a life to love everything' and that makes things quite alright.

Every day you were my reason to live. Without you all I think about is dying again.

I’m lying awake in bed, staring at the clock; blinking perfectly in sync with its ticking. It’s 10 a.m. and I have not slept, I couldn’t. I cannot get your image out of my head, it has been there and probably will be. I’m thinking about how my past year has been nothing but thinking; of you, of us, of me. This is more than just a phase, this is what I’ve become. I want this to stop. I have to learn to accept - accept that some things just aren’t meant to be; that sometimes, no matter how much you pour your heart and soul into someone, it just isn’t enough. I have to accept the fact that sometimes, love isn’t about fighting for the one you love. It’s about letting them go; watching them live the lives they’re destined to, watching them be happy - without you.

You knew where I bled the most and you still decided to take the first shot I let my walls down so you could come in and you left this place a mess, only ruins and past memories.

What a privilege it was to matter to you.

Fact is, relationships are complicated. Your feelings and the decisions you ought to make won’t always be clear and sometimes will even conflict. It is OK to feel confused and uncertain. Take all the time you need to come to the right decision. Believe me, the wrong one can ruin you.

Someday, we’ll run into each other again, I know it. Maybe I’ll be older and smarter and just plain better. If that happens, that’s when I’ll deserve you. But now, at this moment, you can’t hook your boat to mine, because I’m liable to sink us both.

What I mean when I say “I can’t do that”- Anxiety Version:

I am unable to do that

I am too stressed out to do that

I cannot face the humiliation of attempting to do that

My body will physically not allow me to do that

I am on the verge of a panic attack

I cannot do that

What people hear:

I am unwilling to do that

I am just shy

I am overreacting

I am lazy

I need to get more experience in social situation to help my anxiety

I need a push

I don’t want to do that

[d-o-llf-a-ce]

Proper response to someone saying “I can’t do that” because of anxiety:

Can I do it for you?

Would you like my help doing it?

Would you like to go somewhere where you feel can do that?

Is there anything I can do to either alleviate your anxiety or help you do it?

What about it can you not do? (And then, sub-sequentially, would you like help with that part/is there anything I can do to help with that)

these responses are literally SO important when you have anxiety

Sometimes things are really scary and if someone has confided in you that they can’t do something because of their anxiety, you should treat it as best you can

anything that goes along the lines of “I would like to help in any way I can” and away from “You are being a baby” is pretty great.
