aw yeah it goes to the beat of Celebrate by Daft Punk too
wait that’s my pulse that’s not good
Well described. I had this feeling for like 40 years before I really understood that it wasn’t like a personal failing. Treating it now, and wish I had done so sooner.
Growing up I always thought anxiety was bullshit.
I’m 46 now and a few anxiety attacks later I realise how debilitating it can be.
Im not very in tune with my feelings, so it came as somewhat of a surprise to me during a high stress period where I had defend myself on Zoom at work under duress in front of a panel with an audience of over 200 people in the chat… where I could feel my skin tingling and my vision starting to fuzz up at the corners, and could barely hear myself talk.
It took all that I had to breathe slowly and calmly, and a colleague later told me that I seemed fine in my presentation.
Someone can seem okay on the outside, but what theyre experiencing on the inside might be some crazy thing that just does not show.
Same, but to be clear, we’re talking about panic attacks, right? That is exactly what the meme is talking about, or should be.
OTOH, there are these people: “Gosh! Sometimes I’m nervous in social situations and don’t know how to act! I have an anxiety disorder!”
No you don’t buttercup, you have “being a typical human disorder”. And most likely, no one even notices your discomfort. One time I was on LSD at a party and talking to a guy, freaking out internally. “Man, I’m sorry, but I’m tripping balls right now.” He had no idea!
Yeah, be a thing, maybe a toxic childhood thing. But once it’s hits it shits
I’ve had a stressful month at work with lots of overtime and unrealistic deadlines. That is over since last friday, but I’m still feeling the anxiety come over me in waves, every now and than. I’m taking a week off next week.
two months going and three more to come
