Oh gosh…
What are you gonna do?
DO you still love him?

Well, yes, we had a long conversation and 3 mental breakdowns later…uh..we are friends….ig..it hurts to be around him, but it hurts when I am not.

I'm considering bringing up my feelings to Jacob ( my best friend, and the guy I'm in love with) actually.

I say you should test the waters before you leap

In other words, try hinting at it.

I totally get that. Hurts but you want them so bad that you want the hurt?

YeAh, I'm trying to

Yeah.. I mean..being in love with someone and knowing that they won't reciprocate those feelings.

Yeah, i'm sorry man
Thats difficult

Yeah

I see anxiety. I join.
Hello, I've been suffering from anxiety and depression since I was 10. Mine is sorta like a rollercoaster. I can feel like a total boss one day then the next I'll have a breakdown because somebody glared at me. I used to struggle with presentations but I've since found a school where I feel comfortable and no longer completely shut down. In no way am I saying I don't still experience panic attacks, because that would be the biggest lie ever.

Well, I am glad that you worked out a way to be able to do presentations.

Honestly just act super confident no matter what. Fake it 'til you make it. Your brain eventually falls for the false confidence and then boom, it's no longer fake.
(granted I'm having a panic attack while writing this but I excessively talk when I'm nervous so)

Oh I do that too, I talk waaaay to much lol. Its great. makes me more nervous and makes it worse. Endless circle.

Oh my gosh yall same
I talk my way through panic attacks

I learned this thing that helps with anxiety/panic attacks.

Oo what is it?

So when you start to panic or whatever. Name 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch (while touching them), 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you can taste. It helps by focusing on your surroundings and lowering your heartrate.

Oh my gosh I'm gonna use that
I always find a grounding object too, like something i can mess with and hold

I learnt that from a tv show, my sister, and my therapist, in that order.

lol what tv show?

Fosters

Never seen it but i love that u found that
