How to Cope with Panic Attacks

1. Recognise that panic attacks are a mind state and not a physical risk. A panic attack can be a very frightening and uncomfortable experience. However, it doesn’t indicate a real physical risk – even although it feels that way.

2. Try to grasp that you are not alone. Panic attacks are relatively common. They’re an anxiety disorder that many other people share.

3. Understand what panic is. Panic is excess adrenaline running through your body when it is confronted with a possible life-threatening situation. It can also be triggered by something that reminds you of a threatening event in your past. Feelings of panic can be very scary, but the feelings are related to your past – not to a threat in the present. Even although you feel terrified, you are not in any real danger.

4. Go and see a doctor or counsellor. Sometimes people find anti-anxiety medication helps them cope with panic attacks. However, identifying the psychological root – and then getting help in dealing with that – is the most effective treatment approach.

5. Let others close to you know that you suffer from panic attacks. People who have never experienced a panic attack may find it hard to understand what you are going through. However, you can help them with this by sharing your difficult experiences with them. In fact, many people want to help those they love – but they don’t know what to say or do. Thus, if you can be more open with them, then they can reach out and offer you support.

6. Don’t avoid those situations which have led to a panic attack in the past. Avoidance will only ‘reinforce’ the disorder … So the more you avoid the dreaded situation the more panic the avoided situation generates. Should a panic attack occur, don’t attempt to fight the feelings. Instead, allow the feelings to wash over you … and then drain away. Focus on staying in the present moment.

7. Focus on slowing your breathing down. This help to ensure that your brain is receiving the appropriate amount of oxygen. That will help reduce your anxiety levels, and the panic attack will dissipate and end.

CREATE

Just create.

Just put pencil to paper, fingers to keyboard, brush to canvas, and go create something that didn’t exist before. 

Set yourself free of the expectations of quality work. Make something and allow yourself to experiment with new methods and techniques. Have fun with it. If it’s dumb, laugh. If it’s weird, make it weirder. If it’s a disjointed mess, smile at the chaos. 

I think when artists stop being beginners and start to grasp the form on a deeper level, they often forget how to have fun because they’re too caught up in the expectations they’ve set for themselves and their art. Instead of feeling passion pouring from their heart, they feel dismay and frustration. 

So right now, just for a moment, let go of all that and make something fun! GO CREATE!

to my beautiful iranian girls:

i want to give all of you something to keep in mind:

your noses are all flawless, regardless if they’re “european looking” or not.

don’t listen to people who have no judgement over your body. your body, your rules. period.

if you want to lose/gain weight, go for it. no one should tell you how you’re supposed to look except you.

don’t take shit from boys, especially backwards middle eastern boys who expect you to basically bow down to them. they are assholes who will never deserve your lovely attention.

lift up your fellow sisters, iranian or not. women are stronger together than they are apart.

it’s going to be hard to love yourself after being conditioned in a culture that criticizes everything you are and that’s okay. it’s okay and it will get better as you develop into a more beautiful woman every day.

challenge the culture we’ve got that expects women to be subservient to men. it’s a new era, we don’t have time for that backwards thinking. ignore the men who lose their chill, and continue to defy what they expect you to be.

YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS

ignore the white people who’re simply jealous of your full lips, radiant eyes, voluminous hair, and lovely skin. they’ll never have what you’ve so flawlessly got.

curves or no curves, you have a body that’s been perfected over and over again for thousands of years. 

my darker skinned girls: you have skin that defies the sun; don’t let anyone tell you you’d look better if your skin was lighter

my more european-looking girls: protect our darker skinned sisters because they don’t deserve to be put down simply because they don’t have a whiter complexion. we are all equally beautiful because of who we are, not because of what we look like.

your eyes, regardless of how dark or how light, are perhaps the most gorgeous thing about you. 

reform the negatives of our culture that uphold body-shaming, eating disorders, hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community, blatant racism/colorism, etc. 

you are beautiful, strong, resilient, powerful, a walking force of nature that has no time for anyone bringing you down.

[baklavugh]

•Love and protect your Iranian girls who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

•Trans Iranian girls are still valid Iranian girls!!!! Fuck off TERFs!!!!!

•Protect and love minority Iranian girls bc they are so goddamn special and important too.

[hamkhoone]

ALSO love and protect disabled and mentally ill Iranian girls

and please please, love yourselves, your culture, your language even if it’s not Persian.

[hamkhoone]

AND !! nonmuslim and sunni muslim iranian girls are valid and always have been and will be

[baklavugh]

•Mixed Iranian girls are just as Iranian as those who aren’t!!

I think of reading like a balanced diet; if your sentences are baggy, too baroque, cut back on fatty Foster Wallace, say, and pick up Kafka, as roughage. If your aesthetic has become so refined it is stopping you from placing a single black mark on white paper, stop worrying so much about what Nabakov would say; pick up Dostoevsky, patron saint of substance over style.

I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.

[lunapics]

….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

[lightspeedsound]

Hermione Granger also: 

punched Draco Malfoy in the nose for being an idiot 

purposefully performed a confundus charm on whatshsface WHILE HE WAS FLYING just so Ron would win (omfg that is so fucking dangerous) 

literally pulled a fucking Bourne Identity on her parents and managed to set them up in fucking Australia (jesus christ she literally made it so that she NEVER EXISTED wtf that’s so fucking 007)

Convinced the Ministry of Magic to give her an incredibly dangerous and volatile device that allowed her to ALTER TIMELINES COMPLETELY (just because she was so smart, literally, that is the reason, her “potential”) 

Has enough basic survival skills and badass magic to literally disappear to the middle of nowhere and flourish AND figure out Voldemort’s plot with Harry 

Hermione also figures out not only what Voldemort’s plan is, but generally how to beat it, WAY BEFORE VOLDEMORT EVER DOES. Why? because she is just that much smarter and better at magic than everybody else

in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad.

im really mad at how accurate this is

Clear your mind here

[ruggedmenswear]

damn right

[jeaniefranklins]

the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history" is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;“ she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL" kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.

some people say there’s a red string that connects fated lovers

[vondrostes]

psa don’t look at the notes bc there are so many people completely missing the point that these are non-romantic strings of fate and making jokes about where the red string “must be” and it’s making me really angry bc we can’t even have a good artistic representation of aromanticism without people desperately grasping for a romantic interpretation somehow

[bubonickitten]

like the artist has specifically requested that people stop making this about their fandoms and romance bc it’s a personal piece about aromanticism
