How an Anxious Mind is Born (ft.

[@RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose]

THIS was me back then when I lost my dad three years ago & everything fell apart 💔 but after I realized that this complicated life still continues & heard my dad saying that we always prioritize our well-being over jobs, I ACCEPTED that there are certain things I can't control & I let spontaneity, relaxation & having flaws in in my life & nowadays, I see everything in life & life itself like a water where I have to continue to swim & sometimes the waves will bring me further when I'm not capable of it in some situations anymore. Keep calm & see the waves coming, ladies & gentlemen. Some waves are even friendly people & pets who will let you stay alive & motivated. Never give up, people. Keep fighting! 💪 💯 🙌

Thank you ❤️ I also lost my father three years ago and I’m still struggling but reading this renewed my hope about things returning back to normal again 🌸

I was talking with my psychologist the other day that I was having many nightmares despite I'm on vacations and I have free time, and what she found was that it was all due to being so used to be alert 24/7 that I wasn't feeling safe at all during my vacations. It's definitely scary that having one bad experience during previous vacations can wire how I feel in the future.

[@Elea403]

The negative experience in the past came with certain emotion and if you were unable to process that emotion at the time, that remaining emotion gets stored in your limbic system. Not only the emotion is being stored in your brain but also memory of the event, etc. And you not being in that stressful situation anymore doesn't mean that you're not caring it all with you.

SAME

[@FuzzyTrekkie]

Exactly. Thank you. I've always had issues clocking nonverbal signals. After one too many times of being confronted with a problem that could have been avoided if I had just read the room better, I'm now over analyzing every micro expression and inflection

[@alizasiddiqui9866]

This was one of the most AMAZING EXPLANATIONS I've heard of anxiety ever.

[@bensmart3520]

Oh yeah. This is it. I get people asking "well what are you afraid of" and the answer is just "of the unexpected." It's not something specific, because when I got caught off guard before and couldn't prepare I didn't know what was coming...thus the lack of preparation

[@trustytrojan]

DANTDM????? ON HG??? THIS GUY'S MODDED MC PLAYTHROUGH WAS MY CHILDHOOD

[@MrsKeeker]

I know separation impacts children for life, but what if there is escalating abuse in the home? My family members seem split with advice of staying or going because of how it will impact my children's' lives. Several years of begging for change, for abuse to stop, couples counseling, chance after chance, I'm just exhausted. I would do anything for my children. I don't want to ruin their lives by uprooting and ending this, but I know staying is also going to leave lasting trauma on all of us as well. Any additional perspective would be appreciated.

[@dmax1]

I'm just an internet stranger so take this with salt. I think you can be an example to your kids and show them what self respect is. What kind of example you are setting up for your kids. Idk which is healthier for them tho

[@MrsKeeker]

@@dmax1 I appreciate you. Thank you

constantly questioning - I used to skip breakfast and then thought "now there's something NOT going to plan" and felt relief from it

[@Khorothis]

Reassuring signals? You get those?

[@Rosa_Ellah]

I'm like this in social situations, everything is perfectly fine and even if I tell myself it's okay I have a weird feeling of unease... man...

[@ttock29]

That explans things

[@kissenklauer7011]

let's experience that, while we can't control the world around us, we will always have the tools to deal with what life throws at us. we can always seek help and we can always trust into ourselves to do what's right for us. 🙏

[@DonnaAndCats]

I respectfully disagree. We don't always have the tools. (See Climate change, SARS, H5N1)😢

[@kissenklauer7011]

@DonnaAndCats we might not be able to solve a global crisis on our own. but we might be able to experience some security in our little lives and get some sense of control back that our mind needs.

[@DonnaAndCats]

@@kissenklauer7011 I wish I knew how.

[@artbylale]

It's so interesting, that che can talk to males about anxiety without threatening them, nice 😊

[@YesNo-qb9vl]

Yep. Checks out. Now, whats the solution?

[@falconcourt8740]

My dad died when i was 5. How do you get this anxious mind to calm down when there is no reason to stress.

[@abigailfreeman715]

I too lost my dad at 8, then my mum at age 11. I woke every morning with heart palpitations, from then on till I was in my 20s. It’s post traumatic stress. You are in fight and flight mode, primitive brain mode. The thing that changed my life was therapy, but particularly hypnotherapy. It can be done. Stick with it. Good luck.

[@Focusing-Reise]

For me, it starts with acknowledging that from the point of view of the anxious part, there's plenty reason to stress. It's still a 5 year old, having their world flipped upside down, being overwhelmed and constantly trying to protect you at the same time.. Saying: 'Hello, I'm noticing you. I sense how overwhelmed and afraid you were and still are and it's no wonder, you feel this way' could be a next step. From there, there a many ways to go to find support and slowly being able to be the one who can take care of these anxious parts.

Holy shit, I've been doing it all wrong! Time to get a huge friend group! (probably why I like Facebook, it's a huge friend group I can put down and walk away from)

[@NilAmbition]

When did you do this with Dannnnnnn

[@katrolinka89]

So? Who hasn't been in a situation like this?

[@DonnaAndCats]

It's a bit different when you're in that situation constantly.

[@WowomboCocombo]

Reminds me a bit of Brad Pitt

[@MohiZidano]

DanTDM was in the thick of it

[@crocky6996]

Man has gotten anxious over so many things that a rabid rapper whinning in Twitter about him has become the least of his problems.

[@Yash-c3v]

What about people who have a "perfect" upbringing but yet are still anxious people?

[@beginnersguide4556]

There is always a reason that comes with Anxiety. The question is do you feel like digging for the answers - That Badly?

[@vertshus7620]

Not every suffering comes from upbringing. I have pure OCD, my mind is source of most of my suffering. Seeing a therapist is the smart move if you feel like nothing is wrong but you still feel anxious. If you want to find the reason alone, it can take more time and energy.

[@RC-qc2nz]

Yeah so relatable when your mind ist chasing after Things which make you anxious etc. ​@@vertshus7620

[@JK-yy5gm]

Personally thought I had a perfect upbringing, but at 37 I truly saw how much of a chronic lying narcissist my dad is. Who knows how much in the day to day of my life was him just making up a story or answer with no integrity behind it? My memory is also only existent due to journals and photos, the 'gaslighting' got me all outta whack and I didn't know what the cause was. That's just my story but maybe it resonated to help see 'a shadow'. Reiki blessings 🙏🙌

[@kewoshk]

I am one of such people but my dad was pretty overprotective to the extent of not letting me fail even the smallest things (he would literally take stuff out of my hands if he thought I couldn’t do it, despite danger being not present) and it took me long long years to learn that failure is OK and a very natural part of growth. It affected my self-esteem too, imagine your dad not encouraging or trusting you with even the most mundane stuff. So it might look “perfect” from the outside (I never went to bed hungry and my parents loved me very much) but things like these explain why we have anxiety today.

[@ElectroYello]

Yeah... this is exactly what happened to me, just a different scenario. Dang...

[@tomosobi3603]

Why does he lowkey look like Brad pitt
