Let’s get two things straight.
1. I am now putting this shit in order. All these recent posts, now are chronologically. So that in 20 years from now (if I am still here) I’d like to know when these things happen.
2. I signed up for an in depth study of ptsd. I’m on the third part of it, I expect things could get worse before they get better. Turns out, I have been • officially • diagnosed with ptsd, that I have successfully lived my life since that day that I live my life in a constant state of avoidance. I keep people at a distance and everything that I’ve done since then is normal! (For people who have ptsd.) I’m glad I’ve been diagnosed, I’m happy that what I do and how I do things is okay. I personally think diagnosing the problem is a step in the right direction.
Today I learned how to fix an anxiety attack. It’s really simple.
Step 1. Realize you are having an anxiety attack.
Step 2. Think about what you’d be doing instead of having an anxiety attack. For example, if you’re sitting in a restaurant when it happens, you’d be reading a menu or talking to whoever you’re with.
Step 3. Do whatever it is that you’d be doing instead of having an anxiety attack. Focus on that. :)
We can chalk this into “The more you know...”
