#anxiety avoidance

[narcissisdicks]

I want to speak up for myself

I WANT TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF

I want to cuss people out

I WANT TO CUSS PEOPLE OUT

I want to be fucking honest about how I feel

I WANT TO BE FUCKING HONEST ABOUT HOW I FEEL

Why can’t I do it

WHY WHY WHY

WHY WONT THE WORDS COME OUTTTTTTTTT

I WANT THEM TO KNOW HOW I REALLY FEEL AND MAKE THEM FEEL HOW THEY MADE ME FEEL FOR YEARS

I JUST WANT TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH

I know they will try to manipulate and gaslight me but I want to stand up for myself

I WANT TO FUCKING STAND UP FOR MYSELFFF AND BE WHO I NEEDED

WHY WONT THE WORDS FUCKING COME OUT

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AT A BREAKING POINT TO FINALLY SAY SOMETHING

EVEN THEN THAT POINT NEVER FULLY COMES

IT JUST GETS BURIED

I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN THIS TIME

LET ME FUCKING FREE MYSELF GOD DAMN ITTTT

I think..more like I’m pretty sure why I can’t stand up for myself is because I don’t have any support. I have a hard time supporting myself.

I can already hear someone say “support yourself first blah blah” 😒 not the point and that wouldn’t even help or make any sense with cptsd

I am apparently nearing the end of my rope. I’ve just spent three hours scrolling tumblr instead of writing the paper I need to write because there are SO. MANY. THINGS. I need to be doing that I can’t even remember all of them. So many promises I’ve made, commitments I’ve got, and instead of doing them I’m sticking my head in the sand and panicking over them all because I don’t know which to do first. Ugh. I need to stop volunteering for things. But there’s so many important things to do, and people depending on me. And I’m about to over extend myself and fail all of them.

I just need to be done with my degree. Homework is my number one stressor. I never do all of the reading, I’m just barely keeping my head above water on the work load. Everything else is manageable. But the degree needs to die already.

Does seeing a dog die on screen make you cry? Clowns freak you out? Does a kid die? We track over 50 anxiety inducing triggers in movies, TV, books and video games. Search our database before going to the theater!

I knew the website Does the Dog Die would tell you, well, whether the dog dies in a movie or not. I did not know it would give you a heads up about other triggers like phobias, self harm, various specific injuries, hate speech, misgendering, and much more. In case other people didn't know about this I wanted to spread the word.

So I have two essays due for college and in the time i set aside to do them I’ve instead reread all three hunger games books and the catcher in the rye

i think something i am going to do to help avoid anxiety

is get a pot, or a bowl, or something similar

and everytime i get anxious or nervous or worried about something, write it down on a piece of paper, and put it in the pot.

isn't there a phrase or something "throw it in the pot" that means like, think about it or something?

well anyway, i think this might help. we'll see.
