Look at it. It’s got Anxiety

Take it one day at a time. Don’t beat yourself up so much. Remember to give yourself credit for the small things. <3 Positive thoughts for all of us who need to hear it. (including me) <3

the urge to go out and make friends and have fun adventures like in my daydreams vs the urge to move out to the forest and never talk to a human ever again

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

This is so important

I have moderate depression, so this is very useful. 

The neurodivergent experience is talking about your brain as if it's a separate entity from your self

yeah and it's a BASTARD

“Anxiety disorder” sounds so morose from now on I’m telling people I have Clinical Heebie Jeebies

Medical Grade Willies

Sudden Prolonged Zoinks

Chronic Botheration and Foreboding
