Me when I was asked to MC my brother's wedding

Part of me wants to drop out of college and go travel the world. Part of me wants to work really hard in college and change the world. Part of me wants to not work hard at all and marry rich. And the other 97% of me just wants to sleep.

Atelophobia is a condition that causes people to over think and obsess over the thought of not being good enough.

SNAFU

I feel like I have to explain my absence. And I don't just mean to Tumblr but I have been absent of myself. Recently my anxiety has been exacerbated by stressors at work, my doctor tells me now that I have depression. I haven't really done anything about it other than try and talk myself out of it.

But I have been having good days, weeks even, just knowing I need to be all about me. That was until Sunday. He came back into my life a few months ago, you know about him, he's been the subject of many posts before. Things were good. Then something happened on the weekend that I cannot explain; and now I look like the crazy girl. I feel like I'm going through a break up but it's not really and I don't even really know where I stand. All I asked was that he tell me where I stand. I don't want anything from him but for my own ridiculous curiosity, for my own mental state I need to know.

So, this week has been hard. Because I allowed myself to let something else into my life and now I'm here. A little broken hearted. Feeling a little worthless. All sorts of lonely.

It's so hard to fight something I know can be fixed with the right attitude but sometimes I just want to be able to allow myself to wallow. To be comforted by others, but they don't know.

For real though

Ok guys I need to talk about this movie.

The Breakfast Club came out in 1985 and to this day is, in my opinion, one of the greatest damn movies ever to barely even have a script.

During the famous “dance” scene, Molly Ringwald, who played the “princess” Claire, was supposed to a small little dance by herself, but she was shy so all of them did some dancing together, creating one of the most famous film scene’s to date. It was improvised.

During the scene in the film where the characters sat down and told why they were there, there was NO SCRIPT. John Hughes told the cast to sit there and improvise why they thought their characters were there, creating that heart wrenching scene everyone could relate to.

EVERYONE can relate to this movie and thats the best damn thing.

On March 24, 1984, five students entered a detention room thinking it was just another Saturday. Before the day was over, they broke the rules, bared their souls, and touched each other in a way they never dreamed possible.

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THE BREAKFAST CLUB.

It's been a long day. It's been a hard, tough slog. Today I cracked. I've self soothed by having a marathon of one of my favourite shows. This makes perfect sense

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

The Man in the Arena

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Outgoing people with anxious minds – or minds that overthink – tend to feel anxiety the most intensely, often because we don’t talk about it. And by “often” I mean never. Our anxiety is a contras…

This article is such a good read. I have not read something like this that resonated with me so deeply. I am someone that has anxiety but sometimes I put it down to me putting too much pressure on myself and convince myself that if I can just think a different a way and tell myself to feel something different than what I am.

Not many of my friends know I have anxiety, some I’m sure probably view it as stress when I tell them I’ve had an anxiety attack. But my anxiety does not define me, I don’t let it dictate the way I live or behave. But at the same time, it is very real. I think what stood out about this article was the fact that people find it surprising when I tell them I have anxiety. “You don’t seem like the type of person with it” “You’re so confident and outgoing” “you’re loud and funny”. As if anxious people should be confined or would ordinarily be confined to their room with their thoughts and feelings.

It’s something I live with. It has not stopped me from being me but my anxiety is very real and is a part of me.

Just because you have anxiety or you get the odd anxiety attack doesn’t mean you’re weak; doesn’t mean you have to be wrapped in cotton wool and it certainly doesn’t mean you have to act a certain way. Let yourself feel sad, down and out, emotional every now and then. You can’t hide from the anxiety and it’s ok to wallow in your self doubts every now and then. Just don’t ever believe your self doubt.
