I always like to remind myself of how insignificant everything is to begin with. Like next Thursday while you’re working on something for school or your job and you’re thinking about what you’re gonna have for dinner, and contemplating about classes for next semester- will last Saturday have mattered? If riding the bus alone was a little scary but you forgot about it at the club, and if the club was a little stressful but you felt better when you got home- will it have all been worth the sleepless night? How about a week from Thursday when you have other things to handle? Or this coming August? It’s all sooooo very insignificant, and I too struggle with remembering the thing that I have to do that’s making me dread life- are laughably insignificant in the long term. (Sometimes even short term).

Bless you leah you always have such wise words to say! You're right. Next week it won't matter to me although if I act awkward I do tend to re play the whole situation again and again in my head - as for the sleep, I know if I don't sleep I really really will have a shit time so I know I need to sleep

Aw no worries!❤️❤️ I TOTALLY feel you. It’s just like 35% of my day is just replaying awkward things I’ve said/done throughout my entire life. That everyone else has literally no memory of, or time in their life to think about haha. And I so feel the club thing too. I remember going out with my friends used to stress me out so much, but if it was someone’s birthday I’d feel bad about not going too! Yes, please do get adequate sleep! But don’t be worried if you can’t fall asleep, that won’t help the situation. Just remember whatever happens it will always be okay. Little sleep? Okay. Stressful bus ride? Okay. Awkward at party? Not a single person has space in their day to think about it. It’s a thing, that you will do, that will end- and life will continue! Maybe try to let loose while you’re at it:)

I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks

Currently having a mental breakdown as I have to get on a plane by myself for the first time. It just feels like since I’ll be alone everything will go wrong and I don’t want that. All of the flights I’ve been on have been mostly smooth. It’s a short flight but I just can’t get the imagine of me dying alone out of my head. I’ll go a couple hours being fine about it to freaking out. Also, a side from safety I just hate being up in the air with no where to go. I genuinely can’t comprehend it and now I have to do it by myself.
