Why "doing something relaxing” does not help your anxiety
A lot of the time when people give advice intended to relieve anxiety, they suggest doing “relaxing” things like drawing, painting, knitting, taking a bubble bath, coloring in one of those zen coloring books, or watching glitter settle to the bottom of a jar.
This advice is always well-intentioned, and I’m not here to diss people who either give it or who benefit from it. But it has never, ever done shit for me, and this is because it goes about resolving anxiety in the completely wrong way.
THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO when suffering from anxiety is to do a “relaxing” thing that just enables your mind to dwell and obsess more on the thing that’s bothering you. You need to ESCAPE from the dwelling and the obsession in order to experience relief.
You can drive to a quiet farm, drive to the beach, drive to a park, or anywhere else, but as someone who has tried it all many, many times, trust me–it’s a waste of gas. You will just end up still sad and stressed, only with sand on your butt. You can’t physically escape your sadness. Your sadness is inside of you. To escape, you need to give your brain something to play with for a while until you can approach the issue with a healthier frame of mind.
People who have anxiety do not need more time to contemplate, because we will use it to contemplate how much we suck.
In fact, you could say that’s what anxiety is–hyper-contemplating. When we let our minds run free, they run straight into the thorn bushes. Our minds are already running, and they need to be controlled. They need to be given something to do, or they’ll destroy everything, just like an overactive husky dog ripping up all the furniture.
Therefore, I present to you:
THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN ANXIOUS
–Go on a walk
–Watch a sunset, watch fish in an aquarium, watch glitter, etc.
–Go anywhere where the main activity is sitting and watching
–Draw, color, do anything that occupies the hands and not the mind
–Do yoga, jog, go fishing, or anything that lets you mentally drift
–Do literally ANYTHING that gives you great amounts of mental space to obsess and dwell on things.
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO WHEN ANXIOUS:
–Do a crossword puzzle, Sudoku, or any other mind teaser game. Crosswords are the best.
–Write something. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. Write the Top 10 Best Restaurants in My City. Rank celebrities according to Best Smile. Write some dumb Legolas fanfiction and rip it up when you’re done. It’s not for publication, it’s a relief exercise that only you will see.
–Read something, watch TV, or watch a movie–as long as it’s engrossing. Don’t watch anything which you can run as background noise (like, off the top of my head, Say Yes to The Dress.) As weird as it seems, American Horror Story actually helps me a lot, because it sucks me in.
–Masturbate. Yes, I’m serious. Your mind has to concentrate on the mini-movie it’s running. It can’t run Sexy Titillating Things and All The Things That are Bothering Me at the same time. (…I hope. If it can, then…ignore this one.)
–Do math problems—literally, google “algebra problems worksheet” and solve them. If you haven’t done math since 7th grade this will really help you. I don’t mean with math, I mean with the anxiety.
–Play a game or a sport with someone that requires great mental concentration. Working with 5 people to get a ball over a net is a challenge which will require your brain to turn off the Sadness Channel.
–Play a video game, as long as it’s not something like candy crush or Tetris that’s mindless.
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO DURING PANIC ATTACKS ESPECIALLY:
–List the capitals of all the U.S. states
–List the capitals of all the European countries
–List all the shapes you can see. Or all the colors.
–List all the blonde celebrities you can think of.
–Pull up a random block of text and count all the As in it, or Es or whatever.
Now obviously, I am not a doctor. I am just an anxious person who has tried almost everything to help myself. I’ve finally realized that the stuff people recommend never works because this is a disorder that thrives on free time and free mental space. When I do the stuff I listed above, I can breathe again. And I hope it helps someone here too.
(Now this shouldn’t have to be said but if the “do nots” work for you then by all means do them. They’ve just never worked for me.)

Bedtime
- Before I started reading fanfics «I’m going to bed» meant that I was going to sleep.
- Now «I’m going to bed» is actually fanfiction and Tumblr time!

again. enjoy the story.
Keep reading
Maybe you are the punishment
for all the hearts I have broken
Maybe you are just a realization
of the love that I don’t deserve
Maybe you are just an empty sadness
that will be the end of my story
Maybe you yourself are a story
that starts from where I end.

The Suriel - Flower Girl (fanfic)
@fireheart-cursebreaker - As requested and promised. A fan fiction of the Suriel as the Flower Girl at Feyre’s wedding. I had to decide if I wanted to make this funny or serious. And I had to choose if the Suriel would enjoy the experience or loathe Feyre for all eternity because of it. In the end, I tried to stay as true to the Suriel’s character as I possibly could, which led to some very interesting content. And there’s a little twist at the end that I hope you love. Enjoy!

There was too much bustling about for Its taste. Too many people running to and fro with fabric and flowers, jewelry and crowns, platters laden with honeyed tarts and other disgusting, foul smelling delicacies. Blood. Fear. Screams of agony. The pleas of the dying for mercy. That is what the Suriel longed to feast upon. It had been in this damned city far too long. But It had made a promise. And the Suriel never broke Its promises. Whether they were promises of eternal torment, or promises of truth and friendship. Friend. That is what Feyre had called It the day she once again trapped It deep in the Illyrian Mountains. It had smelled her coming long before she arrived, and was curious to hear what Feyre-Cursebreaker, Defender of Velaris, High Lady of Night would wish to ask.

I've just realised that Tom Felton is basically the biggest Harry Potter fan ever, it's like.. Every Harry Potter actor: I don't want to be known as the one from Harry Potter, I want to be more... Tom Felton: *at audition* Bitch I am THE Draco Malloy if u do not cast me for this role my father WILL hear about it!
Jocelyn for gods sake
Jocelyn in the books: Clary I stay away from your brother, I'm afraid he will hurt you. Jocelyn in the series: I SHOT AN ARROW IN MY SON SOMETIMES, SAYING EH YO CLARY LEEEEEET GO.
Gender should not define a great story!
Imagine a book/story where you are never actually told the gender of the main character. You know their eye colour, hair length, height, hair colour, name, how they dress and everything about their girlfriend/boyfriend, but not if it's a boy or a girl. Every person who reads the book/story will have an opinion about what gender he/her is, but no one can know for sure, because every single person who reads it, sees a little bit of them selves in the character.
Good girls come to heaven, everyone else can come as far as they want!

Mind f***
That awkward moment, when you finish Clockwork Princess and remember that Ithuriel is also the angel that Valentine held captive :|
Sirius getting super depressed when McGannagall refuses to call them that

they named their own friendship group
as far as i can tell only aBSOLUTE DORKLORDS DO THAT
how much do you wanna bet the entirety of hogwarts refused to call them ‘the marauders’ and they got all grumpy abt it
Harry: Come on!
Ron: What?
Harry: You heard what Hagrid said. Follow the spiders.
Ron: They're heading to the dark forest!
Harry: (stares at him and continue on walking)
Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies'?
The Yule ball
Imagine at the Yule ball 2015 some muggleborn puts on WATCH ME (now watch me whip) and all the purebloods just stand there like what the f***??! And then all the muggleborns just take over the dance floor and just (perfectly synchronised) dances and sing along. And all purebloods and teachers just stand there totally confused, because seriously WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
They’re scared of Snape, but know what McGonagall can do to them :)
I love it how when Snape draws out his wand there are audible gasps but when Mcgonagall draws her wand there people are screaming out of the way.
