welcome to the shitshow

Does anyone have tips to not be so scared while playing video games.

I’ve been playing botw for a few months now and my heart still starts going crazy whenever I do a mini boss fight. Even if I have strong enough weapons to beat the monster I’m still scared out of my mind. I need to fight higher level enemies to get better but it always freaks me out so bad and makes playing less fun.

If anyone has tips I’d be super greatful

Nothing lasts forever, good things pass, but so does the bad. It will be alright sometimes

‼️vent, mentions of paranoia and anxiety‼️

I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen, I HATE THIS.

Nothing ever happens and I’m always fine, but I can’t stop being on edge.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh send cute animal facts or something, I need a distraction

Tw‼️mention of anxiety and car anxiety‼️

Sorry I didn’t see this until now!

okay so i was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder when I was like 7 and it’s pretty severe. The main thing is to be patient. Some people prefer facts to reassure them(that’s my preference) and other might want you to say nothing bad can happen. It really depends on the person, just ask them.

I have a lot of car specific anxiety as well and something my therapist recommended was to carry a weighted scented plushie in the car with me. we may have weird little things we have to do,(I wear a specific bracelet every time I leave the house) so just bare with us, we can’t really control it.

Thanks for asking and taking anxiety seriously!

I’m so tired of people treating anxiety disorders like a little thing

It’s fuckin debilitating, I can barely leave the house!

It’s horrible, I’ve been anxious my entire life, I always feel like everyone is going to die.

And people treat it like it’s not a big deal. I’m so tired of this bullshit!
