Well.. It's 2am right now and I have a radiologist's appointment at 7:30 to see if there is something wrong with my gallbladder. Given the amount of pain I've been in when I get the attacks, coupled with the symptoms I've been having otherwise, I'm gonna venture yes. But I'm anxious. Really anxious. For one, I always get anxious about doctor's appointments. I don't know why. I guess it just feels like my doctor is always judging me. Anyway, I also am torn. Part of me wants the ultrasound to be inconclusive because I don't want there to be anything wrong with me. The other part of me wants there to be something so that I'll finally have my answer. Either way, worrying for the next 5 1/2 hours won't do me any good. I'm a major worrier, which has lead to a minor case of dermatillomania (obsessive skin picking). But I need to break myself of that method of dealing with anxiety and other bad emotions. Question is... How do you guys calm yourselves down when you're super anxious about something?
I just simply play a intense game to keep my mind off it or read a good book, other then that a good slice of pizza can make anything feel better
I can't eat or drink anything until my appointment is over. Can't even chew gum. I assume this means I can't have any altoids either. Mints calm me down too. Maybe I can be weird and sit here by candle light and sniff my tin of mints =P I'm trying anything and everything I can think of to relax myself xD Sleep isn't gonna happen, so I'm just farting around the internet until my parents wake up.
hmmmm im gonna be a flankhole and advertise my fic so maby you should read my fic to get things off your mind if you dont laugh you could atleast take your mind off things by thinking "what is this crap?
Haha, sure xD It won't kill me to take a gander. Also, this is my 100th post. My 100th post is me giving in to your masculine wiles. Be proud, doll
as masculine as a brony can be if you cant see past the threads of space in time then you wont realize that im giving myself two thumbs up for purely my ego
It was good! I like where it's going, plot wise. The spelling errors made it a little hard to get through, but that's easy enough to fix. A good plot is better anyway ^_^ And it was indeed successful at helping keep my mind off things for awhile. Thank you for that =)
anytime, oh and yay good feedback ^^ now i just need someone who can fix my bad spelling xp anyway as i stated awhile back i was thinking of adding a 4th pony whos a little like ummm this video what you think? funny or no? [youtube]P1cdrm7sz3o[/youtube] anyway now that you gave feedback you can now give out any idea's you might like to see in a chapter for the fic ^^ (which is one of the main things for this fic is that it is made not just by me who only thought of the start and the end but from people who liked it and helped make the middle)
YES. DONUT. I love Donut xD Hmm... A funny idea could be like... some big new adventure ALMOST starts, the trio start to get caught up in it, and then suddenly deus ex machina and it's all solved yay and everyone's like "wait... what? o.o"
in interesting idea something i can certainly try pulling off in a few chapters but right now im more focused on the 5th chapter so if you have any ideas for it now might be a good time to lay them out before i get to far into making it (which is as far as were we last left off
Aside from medication to relax, I often worry about something until a breaking point. I hit a point where I become so frustrated I stop caring and just get into a brooding mood about it. I become very snappy and hostile, though.
I usually calm down by thinking the thing is not serious. Think positively. Take a Valerian tea as well It helps you relax
When I'm really nervous about something, I engage my body in something physically demanding. It drains my energy which allows my body to naturally calm down and my focus is shifted while doing so. I tend to go for runs for example, but unfortunately I get nervous as hell before a race and running the day of is not advised, such as today, I have a race after school (2mile) and I'm nervous about how I'll perform during it because I plan on breaking a record.
I find talking about whatever is bothering me - and being totally 100% honest - helps. But, I tend to worry about the less substantial things, like will I get fired even though I've done nothing wrong and am good at my job? Or will my boss yell at me because I forgot something? Healthwise, there's not much I can do. I've no health insurance (yay America!), so even if I've got something seriously wrong, I can't afford any medicine to fix it. Or tests to find out if I *do* have something wrong.
There's been many times in my life where I should have been worried about whatever problem there was at the specific time, but in all honesty I wouldn't be able to say what it is I do that keeps me calm.
I've been meaning to try and get into meditation. I just don't know where to start lol. I can never shut my brain off xD ~~ So I had my ultrasound, and should get the results by the end of the day. So now it's just a waiting game.
Well, it depends on how your anxiety comes about. I mean, this seems like a circumstance, one which anyone would be anxious or worried in. If you constantly get anxiety attacks over trivial things, then I'd recommend medication. I personally take Lyrica, but it's for social anxiety mostly.
Ever try listening to music on your MP3 player or bring a game device with you too keep your mind off on whats going on around you? Helps out for me.
