so apparently feeling like something is going to go wrong is called “anxiety” and not “spider-sense”

People with anxiety don’t have a train of thought. We have seven trains on 4 tracks that narrowly avoid each other when the paths cross and all the conductors are screaming.
this is a great description

ok so,,,, I’m starting 11th grade, and I’ve always had low-grade anxiety, not enough to really do anything about, but just enough to feel lurking around the back of my mind. But at my high school, junior year is really hard for everyone, and I’m terrified that I’m just going to spiral super hard this year lol
hey anon. it’s too bad you’re feeling like that :( I would say that if it’s stressing you out this much, maybe it is time to see someone about it. if as you say it was low level before but now you’re anticipating spiralling, which, btw, is not you in any way showing weakness - in fact, it’s you showing foresight - maybe you should talk to someone. whether that’s a counsellor at your school, your doctor, a friend or family member you trust.
this is something I really need to work on too, don’t get me wrong, but I think a big part of why things don’t get easier for folks like us is because we don’t want to burden others with our problems. which is completely understandable - but at the same time, it’s okay to lean on someone when you need to. especially when that person tells you it’s okay and encourages you to talk to them. this goes doubly for anyone in school at any stage, because that shit is intense and stressful. you shouldn’t have to go through that alone.
*hugs*

they don’t tell you what anxious impulsivity looks like.
when people imagine anxiety, they always imagine risk averse behavior. you overthink, you’re deliberate, your thinking is catastrophic, and you’re always thinking through seventeen possible scenarios in which things can go wrong.
but sometimes you’re so anxious and things feel so horrible that you do things without thinking because you want the bad feelings to stop. you say something stupid in a group chat, so you immediately leave all of your servers and block your friends so that you don’t have to see the aftermath. you’re unsure about your relationship, so you break up with your partner out of nowhere or you wake up one morning and just decide to ghost them so you don’t have to deal with it anymore. you’re uncomfortable at a party with people you don’t know, so you run outside and take the train home at 3am without realizing how dangerous that is because you just need to leave.
your anxiety can get so bad that, in an attempt to feel safe and secure, you can’t predict what you’ll do next.

Burnout, 2018.
Three years ago, my constantly worsening sleep deprivation and stress resulted in a burnout. I’m 30 years old now, at the time of posting this comic, and I still haven’t recovered fully. I still have the heart symptoms - even the smallest amount of stress brings the symptoms back. It’s likely I will never recover enough to work a fulltime job again and I can’t go back to high-stress environments like customer service. But that’s alright. I am more than just my work. I’m slowly learning to be merciful towards myself and to show myself the same kindness I show others, and I think that’s very important.
This is my story and I won’t be ashamed any more.

I needed this. Especially the percentage part. As someone who compares myself to others a lot, I really needed that.
Your best is yours, not anyone else’s
Just to emphasize

do you ever tire of how, like, dramatic anxiety is?? it’s like. bitch. bitch. it’s not that serious. we’ll live. it’ll probably be a pain in the ass, but we’ll live. so stop making me feel like i’m actively dying.
wow nothing like adulting to bring back your anxiety in full swing
ugh don't you just really fucking hate being haunted by major mistakes you made at work because it's been almost a week and I'm STILL thinking about that ceo I disappointed by bringing a trustee a coffee when an interview had started because the coffee machine wouldn't work in time and I thought she'd be thirsty
and I'm p sure my anxiety about this will at least reduce somewhat if I find another temp role but good lord this is not fun
#when i say disappointed#i really mean#pissed off#i poked that ceo white man bear#and he growled#angrily#and even tho i will literally never have to see him ever again#i can't stop thinking about how angry he looked when i came in with that coffee#and it's like that jessie j lyric#losing my mind at a tiny error#i nearly left the real me on the shelves#sigh#me.txt#personal#negativity for ts#anxiety cw
so. I didn't pass out from anxiety. and I think I said everything I wanted to say but my heart is still racing so idk lol but IT'S OVER and I won't hear anything for a week at least praise the lord phew
lmaooo don’t you love feeling so stressed out that you’re sure your heart rate is gonna skyrocket and there’s nothing you can do bc you’ve already taken the meds and can’t take another dose till later
nothing like not being told whether you got a second-round interview when you were meant to just to raise my heart rate a little :))
