Yay, out-of-nowhere anxiety attack. >.<
So does anyone else have a thing when their anxiety is spiking and hearing "everything is okay" makes things feel worse because you're NOT okay and you're part of "everything"?
I dunno if this is some sort of spectrumy literal-mindedness thing or what but it sucks. Makes me lash out at people who I ordinarily like who are trying to help me and ugh. :(

@indi Oh gosh yes. >.< When I'm mid attack, the last thing that helps is any kind of input at all. That one is especially bad, because it makes me go "No, you don't understand. >.<" and makes me feel more alone. >.<
MH (-/?)
@zetasyanthis Yeah exactly. :/

@indi And for what it's worth, I can see everything isn't okay, but I'm still here, and will keep you as safe as I can. Can't necessarily help, but I can make sure you're not alone. >.<
MH (-/?)
@zetasyanthis Thank you. Am doing better now.
MH (-/?)
@indi Really glad to hear that. These things are just awful. >.<
@indi *offers hugs* I’ve been dealing with anxiety attacks more often recently myself and the old tactics are not working as much. It sucks. :(
