Everytime I stand in front of the door and frantically search for the keys in my bag, all that makes me panic, pushes me to the verge of tears - even though it is not such a big deal because I’m not in a hurry and if anything, the concierge has a spare pair.
So, naturally, my brain tries to compensate for a possible fail - and every time I walk home, I feel almost unbeatable urge to get my keys out of my bag to my hand when I am still like 200 meters from home.
I suppose, it’s the same overcompensation mechanism that makes me come to airport at least two hours before the departure and to a train station at least an hour before, buy spares of essentials each time a bottle starts feeling not full, or always have a stocked pantry(though there may be multiple of ones and none of others as I always forget to check what I have before going to the store)

Is this exaggerated(to the point of creating problems) ‘better safe than sorry’ something people are more prone to? Do you guys also do that?

Managing anxiety can unlock your full potential. Here are 5 insights inspired by James Hetfield's story:

• Embrace your individuality; anxiety doesn't define you.

• Use anxiety as a motivator to seek answers and improve.
• Establish routines to manage stress effectively.
• Balance preparation with faith in your abilities.

I am doing a survey about yoga and neurodivergent folk and your boosts would be appreciated.

If you are neurodivergent (self-realized or Dx'd, it's all good here), and fall under the vast ND umbrella, I'd love to hear from you. Quick 6-7 question survey and you can remain anon if you want.

Thank you!

💔 Daily Early Morning Worry 💔

one of my clinical anxiety syndromes [1] manifests a binary symptom, which I've termed “impaired focal-state partial blindness upon waking”.

Let's play "Choose Your Own Adventure" this morning!

  1. Non-Critical: temporary medication effect (multi-rx additive symptoms)

  2. Critical: direct effect of hypophysis-cerebri tumor growth, ocular-nerve compression inducing eyesight loss (partial/full) 🧠

I had a horrifying nightmare last night.

I was back at my first job at iRobot. Some manager I currently follow on linked in last night had re-hired me.
I was excited to just make money again.
Howerver, I didn’t go to work on my second day because of burnout/depression.
I didn’t go to work on my third day because of the anxiety caused by not letting my employer know what was going on.

On the 4th day I went to work. They mocked my apology when I finally talked to them. While I was gone, manager and his friend coworker stormed the corporate housing I was staying at and put all my stuff on the street. They kicked me out and kept mocking me…

The end

Why does it sound like it could have happened in real life?

Previously when I’ve shared this a number of people DM me to say they didn’t know it existed. This really surprised me, so I share it every so often.

If you might need it, tuck it away. If you know others who might, make sure they know.

We can feel vulnerable talking with friends and family. The 988 folks are compassionate, and enable anonymity and care when it’s needed most.

(This is for U.S. and Canada.)

Increasingly waking up with . Went online for solutions. Breathing exercises. (Don’t do nearly enough.) Get more sleep. (Interrupted by anxiety!) Drink enough water. (I do.) Improve gut health/flora. (NHS has mucked me around for over a decade now re increasingly debilitating gut/allergy conditions. No help whatsoever.)

It’s a lovely morning outside. I just wish my physical self wasn’t blocking my mental self from seeing it. :/ ☀️

Something very interesting I accidentally came across while investigating what neurotransmitters are involved in an orgasm (turns out to be basically all of them, but oxytocin and vasopressin are specific to sex, love and friendship):

How Feelings Can Deliver Misinformation

To convert feeling-based misinformation into reliable information, one must think consciously about whether the information was derived from reliable processes.
