I don’t have a lot of things that will help but I just want you to know that I have experienced both the saying things and being worried people thought I was trying to say something else (I actually do this all of the time and always clarify exactly what I mean because I’m too worried about what people will think, DONT DO THIS) and the thinking that cameras are listening to and watching me all of the time. My only advice is something my therapist has told me to do which is say to yourself “maybe they did misunderstand me, maybe they didn’t” and just move on. It’s so hard, but you can’t control what other people think of you, and what other people think of you is not always the truth. I’m being careful because I don’t want to give you reassurance, but you aren’t a bad person because that’s not what you were trying to say, that’s all that matters. People that care about you will know that. I hope this helps

@Someday It’s not easy, so don’t be so hard on yourself. You will get through this, just take it day by day and don’t let that anxiety convince you. Take care of yourself ❤️

@Someday Try to stay present and focus on whatever it is you’re doing, if you aren’t doing anything then maybe try to do something you enjoy. Today is a gift so try to make the most of it and try to get out of your head. Again, it’s not easy, but I believe in you!
