-Devil'sPet-

We're born originals, let's not die as copies of ourselves. ~Cassidy

me:

my brain: dont worry if things go wrong you can always kill yourself :))))))

[plain-flavoured-english]

After years of suffering from anxiety, I’ve learned one valuable thing:

Excessive anxiety stems from shame. There’s always an internalized shame belief at its core: ‘I am weak’, ‘I am bad’, ‘I am unlovable’, ‘I am not good enough’. Anxiety is an unhealthy attempt to manage or reduce that shame; so, for example, ‘I am weak, but maybe if I constantly worry about the future I will avoid situations I can’t handle’ or ‘I am unlovable, but maybe if I obsessively stress about my clothes and my hair and my weird personality I can make myself less unlovable’.

The hope is that if you worry enough, you can resolve your problem, and thereby your anxiety. But the problem can never be resolved because it is not real. That’s why anxiety is so overwhelming and pervasive and never seems to really get better, even when your circumstances do. Trying to find a practical solution for your shame is as impossible as trying to find a mathematical proof for 2+2=5. You can tie yourself up in knots and analyze yourself thin and drive yourself crazy but you will never find a way to make it work.

There’s only one rational response to anxiety: to get mad at it. Get mad at the internalized voice of shame. Get mad like a teenager yelling at their parents. Say ‘Screw you, Mom and Dad!’ to the voices in your head telling you you’re not enough, that you haven’t earned the right to relax, that suffering builds character. Say ‘Fuck this, it’s not fair and it’s not true and I’m not doing it anymore’.

Your anger is your greatest defender. Go beat the living crap out of a pillow. Or rip up an old magazine. Or stomp up a hill and yell at the top of your lungs. Or take a kickboxing class or punch a punching bag or just go for an angry run. Physicalize your anger and get that shame out of your body. Because it’s not fair and it’s not true and you’re not doing it anymore.

@mrswinterbarnes you’re not wrong. When I came back from closing the barn doors she was gone. Nowhere in sight. I thought turtles were supposed to be slow
