Anxiety

I am breathing quite heavily because it feels like I can't catch air, I feel like I am about to throw up, like my throat is being pressed, like I am carrying the heaviest burden on my chest and shoulders, I have a terrible stomach ache, my head hurts, my whole body is shaking uncontrollably, it feels like my heart has been replaced by a rock, my ears are buzzing.

I know I am doing this to myself and I know it is not fair. I should be enjoying myself. I need some kind of interaction and my parents are in the living-room with my aunt and uncle, but I can't handle that much people. I can't stop thinking about how happy and safe I would feel if I was spending this moment with one of my loved ones. I know I could make myself feel happy and safe, but it feels like I've forgotten how to do it, anxiety took control.

 I want to punch a wall, I want to hurt myself and snap back, feel present. I've been feeling way too much lately... but I've been here before and I know it will be okay. Tomorrow will be a new day, but the waiting seems too long, I can only hope that anxiety will be gone and that it won't come back.

 "What screws us up most in life is the picture of how it is supposed to be."

What I want my loved ones to know about anxiety.

Living with anxiety is surely no piece of cake... It comes and goes in the most unexpected ways. You might be having a great day and all if a sudden it gets ruined by anxiety. It might be triggered by something you hear, something you see, a comment someone makes to you, or for no reason at all. When I'm feeling anxious and someone asks me "Are you okay?" or "How are you doing?", I'll probably want to cry for help, but I'll most likely end up lying and saying "I'm fine". And here's a few reasons why: 1. My anxiety tells that I am a burden. Anxiety can make you think poorly about yourself. It might tell you are worthless, it might tell you that the ones you love would be better off without you, it might tell you that by speaking about how you feel you are only bringing trouble or discomfort to your loved ones. (I don't want to worry you) 2. I don't want wear you out. Anxiety can be hard and overwhelming not only fo...

How my suicide attempt saved my life

“When you don't want to feel, death can seem like a dream. But seeing death, really seeing it, makes dreaming about it fucking ridiculous. Maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back... Maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our minds…” -Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted. My depression and anxiety had taken control of me, I felt stuck and scared, completely worthless and unlovable. I couldn’t stand my own existence, I had been self harming, having constant panic attacks, the voice in my head kept telling me that the people I loved would be better off without me, that someone else in the world deserved my place more than I did. I was having a rough day, I was lonely, I had no more will power left, no more energy, I exhausted. I didn’t wanted to feel anything anymore, anything at all I wanted to end to it. So I took some pills... I remember as I was taking a bath, I started feeling dizzy and fainted, my mom managed to get me o...

What it means to have Favorite Person for someone with BPD.

One of the symptoms of BPD is having a history of intense and unstable relationships. For me personally, the hardest relationship to mantain healthy, is the one with my favorite person. ‘Favorite person’ is the term given to describe the relationship that someone with BPD depends on.   As borderlines, we don’t decide to have a FP… We suddenly find ourselves wanting to spend all day, every day with them. We admire and idolize them, to the point where we might start talking or acting like them, which is relate to the lack of sense of self. Our actions and emotions depend on what they do or what they don’t do and we need constant validation that they are okay with what we are doing or saying, because we are afraid to death of losing them or that they will stop loving us. We might try to push them away because we think so highly of them and so low of ourselves that it leads us to believe we are not worthy of them.  They are our only source of comfort, love and support.
