And I have unsubscribed to them all already - I chose “Never” on the notifications menu on Christmas Day. ... View more

That’s very nice, and not to be rude, but I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again - I’m not logging on anymore after this, so I won’t have to get any more notifications. ... View more

Thank you for telling me. ... View more

Thanks for doing that. ... View more

Thank you tons for that. ... View more

Well, (a) I would kindly like some info on how to switch notifications off, (b), I really don’t care if I am welcome on here, I’d much rather seek support and help elsewhere instead of ever coming on here again and risk breaking another guideline or 2, and I mean ever, and (c), I actually don’t want to switch the notifications back on ever again. ...

Yes please, because I really don’t want this to keep happening. I’m busy with my life now, and I’d really rather not be tagged anymore. And I know we beat ourselves up over rudeness, but if I’m just asking someone if I’m being that way or not, that’s not beating myself up over it, but instead being mindful and curious about the way I talk to others. And honestly, I’m trying really bloody hard not to be harsh or anything towards others, because if I want to be treated well, it’s only fair that we all do the same for everyone else too, it’s known to be the “Golden Rule”. ...

You bet it is, ‘cos I’m not taking any risks to come on here and post anymore, no matter how calm and level-headed I am, because if there’s one thing I don’t like doing, it’s breaking a guideline or 2, even if it is by accident. And about the notifications, I don’t know if you’re able to do this, but are you very kindly able to tell everyone else on here not to send me any more of those, because it’s getting kind of annoying? I’m not angry or anything, it’s just that I don’t like receiving notification after notification, even if it is Christmas time. I sure hope no-one on here thinks I’m coming off as rude, because I would really, really, really hate to be that guy. ... View more

Damn it, I posted twice again. And don’t tell me “it’s OK ‘cos it happens”, because it might be to everyone else on here, but I will not stand by and keep letting this happen again and again. ... View more

Thanks for that, but I don’t want to come on here anymore, so not to hurt anyone’s feelings or anything, but I’d really appreciate it if I could stop receiving offers and messages from people, even if it is Christmas. ... View more

I don’t know - must be ‘cos the Internet lags sometimes. ... View more

Why’s that? ... View more

Much better. I just had an anxious couple of days and nights on the weekend.  ... View more

And as for alleviating anxiety, reading and surfing the Internet normally work, but not when I get to this level of sadness, heartache, and anxiety all bunched up one damn thing on top of the other, because, in all honesty, all I wanna do in these times is weep for as long as it takes to get my heart back in one piece and make me feel happy again. ...

I told my dad that maybe I could just tell my friend to call later, but he said I can still take the call in there, just not on loudspeaker when he's watching TV, so that's what I mean by that - I realised I didn't need to go as far as to say something like that, because it wasn't really needed, and I want to avoid saying things like that in future so my anxiety will be lower, that's what I mean about this whole thing. Jesus, I just wanna cry after all I've been through this weekend. 😢😭 ... View more

And about the breathing, I'm sorry to disagree with you on this, but, for me, not every shortness of breath is the sign of a panic attack, it's just that it doesn't work for me when my anxiety gets too high, that's what I was saying. Sorry if you didn't get the picture initially, but that's just how it is for me. ... View more

My dad told me to keep the loudspeaker off when I’m talking to him in the kitchen, and I quite by accident said maybe his call can wait until later (which I realised I didn’t even need to say because he said I can still talk then, just not on loudspeaker when I'm talking to my friend in the kitchen because my dad wants to hear the TV) and I know it was an honest mistake, which we all make at times, and I get that, but I still want to avoid doing the same thing from this day forward so I can be happier and less anxious. ... View more

No, I’m not having any panic or anxiety attacks anymore, but I just wanna know how I can possibly avoid jumping to conclusions when I’m told to do something somewhere else (like talking on the phone with my friend on loudspeaker when my dad’s watching TV).  ... View more

And does anyone on here know how I can avoid jumping to conclusions when I’m told to do something somewhere else apart from writing things down, ripping them up, and throwing them out? ... View more

Yes, true, but you do understand I sometimes can’t breathe if it gets really bad, because it’s just too hard to do in that moment? And that’s OK about the distraction thing and the message. ... View more

I thought you might, because I just want to have good, happy times with my family without this happening every damn time. For God’s sake. ... View more

Thanks a zillion. I’ll have a look at that too. ... View more

Thanks for that. I’ll try to breathe, but it really depends on how severe the anxiety is, so if it’s terribly bad, just breathing alone, I’m sorry to say, just may not be enough. ... View more

Thanks so much for tagging others who know how it feels, because I’m just over this crap, I swear to God. And I’ll definitely look into those articles you showed me. ... View more

Talking to my parents about it.  ... View more

I am, but, somehow, there’s this part of me that tells me to post on here about whatever’s on my mind so I can get it solved. ... View more
