Anxiety Attacks Arent Always Hyperventilating And Rocking Back And Forth

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.

“I hope you fall in love with someone who never stops choosing you and I hope you feel at home when you look at them.”

Gann of Dreams and his beloved one.

my main problem with romance is that my ideal romantic hero appears to be rather different than the majority of romance writers’ ideal romantic heroes. please keep your rogues, rakes, and alpha males away from me please!! no yelling or demanding or surprise kissing or “wild uncontrollable emotions” thanks!! 

I like my heroes to be pretty calm and decent and respectable and maybe even a little uptight and then just get absolutely wrecked by how much they love the heroine. ideal adjectives include “reassuring” “safe” “respectful” “kind” “gentle” “polite” etc. 

I am a gentle soul and “”alpha males”” are very spooky scary!! I would very much like my heroes to be AT LEAST polite and respectful, even if they’re very intimidating in other aspects. 

Does anyone have any recs? Bonus points for slow burn/pining

I have made an error.

My brother attends a fairly exclusive private boys school that is incredibly religious.

He is going on this weird, intense camp with them next week and all the families have been asked to write personal letters saying why they love them and why they are proud of them.

I told my mother I was just going to enclose a massive drawing of a penis and she absolutely forbid me from doing so.

Anyway so the third page of my letter is a massive veiny penis with ‘SORRY MUM’ written as if it’s ejaculate.

Other quotes from my letter include

- I’m sorry this is handwritten, our printer is fucked. It feels so archaic I might as well be writing this on a cave wall in my own blood. - I am so much better at Pokemon than you. Sorry this isn’t a reason I love you, I’m just really good at Pokemon.

- Thanks for putting up with me even when I come into your room at 3am, drunk and insisting you smell the bacon lipgloss I found.

- My favourite moments between us are the ones where we’re drenched in animal blood, performing the appropriate sacrifices to maintain our youth.

- I’m proud of how quickly you can shove broccoli stems up your nose to diffuse tension at the dinner table.

And so on. These letters were submitted to the school yesterday.

I have just found out they are proofread by the principal and the school’s church leaders, and then read aloud to all the boys on the camp.

A Father is going to read the phrase ‘Suck it bitch’, directed at my brother, in front of 50 other 17 year old boys, whilst on church camp.

You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself.
