You're blog seems really inspiring. Both of my parents have struggled with alcoholism in the past and it makes things tough. It's made me the emotionally toughest person I know, but at the same time resilient to some types of emotions. It fuck u up.
Thanks so much! I know exactly what you mean, I’m one of the toughest people I know, but I have a really hard time letting people in sometimes. It’ll fuck up your relationships more than you think.
Stay strong, you rock
Characteristics of Children of Alcoholics
We became isolated and afraid of people and authority figures.
We became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process.
We are frightened by angry people and unable to handle any personal criticism.
We are more concerned with others than we are with ourselves
We get guilt feelings when we stand up for ourselves instead of giving in to others.
We find it hard to feel or express our feelings
We judge ourselves harshly and have a very low sense of self-esteem.
You’re a fighter. Look at everything you’ve overcome. Don’t give up now.

Lessons Learned by Children of Alcoholics
If I can control everything, I can keep my family from becoming upset.
If I please everyone, everyone will be happy.
Whatever happens is my fault, and I am to blame when trouble occurs.
People who love you the most are those who cause you the most pain.
If I don’t get too close emotionally, you cannot hurt me.
My responsibility is to ensure that everyone in the family gets along with each other.
Take care of others first.
Nothing is wrong, even when I don’t feel right.
Expressing anything besides happiness is not appropriate.
I can deny anything.
I am not a good person.
I deserve the bad things I’ve had to deal with.
I guess my life hasn’t always been happy, or easy, or exactly what I wanted. At a certain point, I just have to try not to think too much about certain things, or else they’ll break my heart.
Jonathan Franzen, Freedom (via wordsnquotes)
Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth
Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:
Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability
Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change
Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words
Not talking at all
Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”
Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.
