Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth

ugly-bread:

Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:

  • Unpredictable bouts of rage or irritability
  • Nit-pickiness (obsessive behavior, which may be a part of OCD), and even a hypersensitivity to disarray, chaos, or any sort of change
  • Fast-talking, stuttering, stumbling over words
  • Not talking at all
  • Sitting rigid, staring into space, almost seeming “zoned out”

Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.

I haven’t had a lot of time at my computer or to upload any pics but I just wanted to say that I really, really had such a great time with @bbbarbatus when I visited and I can’t wait to go back. I’m back to work and appointments have sprung up but I wanna show off the cool time I had with them soon!

Seriously, though. If you’re over the age of 18 and you live in America or Europe there is no reason why you can’t find some sort of assistance with your mental health. 

Is it going to be easy? Nothing worth having really is.

If I can fight through living on the goddamn streets ya’ll can go to the hospital, or make a call, or do a google search. Help is out there and it won’t find you if you’re not looking for it.
