The happiest place on earth

Leave a comment

So I haven’t been positing for a bit because I have been in Walt Disney World in Florida.

Now for some of you this may make you so nervous you don’t even want to go and that was me last year but this year it is completely the opposite. I was so excited about going, yes I was still a little worried but no a huge amount. The excitement was great because I could use it as a distraction and look forward to it when I was feeling down or anxious.

When you go away you get to escape all those horrible things that you have to go through in everyday life like work and school and you can spend quality time with your family. This can also mean escaping some worries for a few week which is BLISS.

Well anyway I’m back now. WHOOOP WHOOOP. NOT!!!

When you get back it hits you like a ton of bricks. I have to go back to school and put myself back in worrying situations again that on holiday I did’t have to do. This fills me with dread and makes me feel really down.

When I’m in Disney in Florida that truly is my happy place because as well as having a great time that everyone else has I’m also stress free which is AMAZING. I think I had maybe 2 panic attacks the whole 20 nights I was away which is great for me.

Anyway, I am hoping that soon we will return and I can have my few weeks of stress free time and that when I go back to school on Monday it won’t be too bad.

I hop you liked it if you did remember to do all that lovely stuff below and I will speak to you soon.

You still get those moments.

So on Tuesday after school I had a bit of a mare.

I had several panic attacks about stuff I hadn’t worried about for ages but  I managed to deal with them and it all turned out ok.

So the first thing that happened was something that bothered me so much I just had to do it. As you may or may not know I’m worried about having allergic reactions to things so peanuts has always been a big goal because they are something that is a common allergen. Sometimes I get to a point when I get so annoyed I just have to do something and this was one of those circumstances. There was a packet of peanuts on the kitchen side and I had been avoiding them like ild fire for a few days but in the end I got so annoyed I just went for it. I knew that I wasn’t allergic but I still couldn’t get the thought out of my head I ate one and sat there waiting. I guess I was waiting for an allergic reaction to the peanuts but yo know what? It never came. I knew it wouldn’t but at the same time my anxiety still gave me that seed of doubt.

I also used a new shampoo the other day and pretty much the same thing happened I was waiting for the reaction and this time I also go the symptoms but nothing actually happened. A few months ago I would have had to go and talk to someone but not now and I’m pleased with that.

So that’s pretty much all I have to say today but if you do take a bit of a step back don’t worry because that happens to all of us! I really hope you enjoyed this if you did remember to give it a thumbs up and follow this blog for more anxiety battling tips and I will see you guys next week.

Going back to school 2

Leave a comment

It’s nearly my first day back at school – I’m dreading it!

However I have devised a few things to help me take my mind off of it / help make it a bit easier.

  1. Going to bed at 7:30 . When I say this I mean go up to bed and chill out not go to sleep.
  2. Have a bath before bed. I’m going to have a bath just so I can relax a bit because I know I’ll be stressing out.
  3. Keeping myself busy/ distraction. This is a technique that works wonders for me so I’ll probably work on doing some nice blogging things.
  4. Chocolate. I think this will help and will be really nice to because it gives off some kind of feel good hormone – I think.
  5. Ear seeds – I haven’t worn these for a while but I think I might try these again I do need to find them first though.
  6. Sleep – I don’t know how much I will get but the more the better !
  7. And on the day I know I will be seeing my counsellor .

I hop this helped you guys and that you are finding going back to school a tad easier than me and I promise in the end it will be fine! Even though I can’t get my head round that yet I know in my heart that it will be. Thanks for reading guys I hope you enjoyed it and that you will like and share and do all those lovely things.

Going back to school

Leave a comment

So I have to go back to school a week Thursday and I’m nervous. I’m worrying about it but mostly worrying about worrying which sounds absolutely ridiculous and it kind of is but it does’t really seem that way to me.

My fear is just about going in on the first day and panicking a lot and there not being any teachers that I recognise or know. My mind thinks this but it’s frustrating because I know that there will be teachers there that I know and I will worry a bit but not as much as I actually think I will.

I know that I will be with my friends and it will go smoothly but I can’t help worrying, so inside it’s like I’m having a little battle; one side of me knows it will be fine, whereas the other is telling me it will be horrible and the worst day of my life.

I’m going to try not to think about it and this technique has worked in the past. I’m just going to go in there and see what happens I might plan to go and see my mentor first. I also have my counsellor coming in on the first day so that helps a bit.

Anyway, I hope this helps a bit for any of you guys having the back to school blues and please do all the lovely stuff and I will see you guys next week.

Sailing festival

Leave a comment

So near where I live ether is a sailing festival on at the moment and I went down there with my friend and needless to say it was a nerve racking experience. Here’s why I found it hard and a bit about how I dealt with it.

  1. It was packed. There were a lot of people there as people travel from around the world to go there. I found it hard because I felt like I couldn’t find a quiet spot. However there were little patches that it wasn’t terribly busy so I tried to stay round there
  2. I only went with one of my friends. I find it slightly easier if more people go because I feel like if something did go wrong there would be more people to help which sounds weird after the previous one where I said I didn’t like a lot of people. I like them if they are my friends because I know them – I’m not really sure how to explain.
  3. There was loud music. I really hate loud music especially the bas because I hate the feeling I get in my chest and I had to stay around there for a bit and had quite a few panic attacks which was not good.
  4. I had henna. I was really worried about this but I knew if I didn’t get it I’d be annoyed at myself and regret it so I did get it and I’m glad because it looks really cool. I did worry about this for a while after but in the end I realised that I really wan’t allergic and even if I was it wouldn’t do anything too serious to me.

I hope this helped you and you got something from this. Thank you guys so much for all your support and I will see you next week.

I’m back

Leave a comment

Hi guys sorry I have been away I have been on holiday anyway I’m back now.

This weeks post I’m gonna talk about something that happened yesterday that I’m pretty proud of.

So yesterday I went to my Grandmas for the first time in forever ( not a frozen reference ) and it was good. I woke up and walked down and spend probably about 3 hours there and I didn’t really get that nervous which was a complete surprise.

I am also planning tomorrow to go to town with my nana I’m a bit more worried about that because it’s further away and I’m not too sure but I’m trying to keep a positive mindset which is hard at times.

Anyway this was just a quick update to let you know a few things normal longer posts will resume next week. I normally plan for a few days what I’m going to do but I literally have thought of this on the spot and I didn’t wan you guys to have nothing to read so I tried to get it done but I promise my thinking cap is on now for the next posts.

Hi,

It’s me here. If you don’t think you can keep this secret then exit now and pretend you never opened the site what I’m about to share with you now is something I have been keeping under lock and key for over a year and I finally think I’m ready to share this with you .I don’t know who I’m gonna tell this to yet but please if anyone finds out I’m going to be devastated and all my hard work would have gone to waste so this isn’t a petty secret of who likes who this is a big deal so if you don’t feel comfortable knowing this much then don’t keep reading. You must not tell anyone else that it’s me that runs this site. My lovely and supportive followers don’t know who I am and I’d like to keep it that way it makes me feel more free to express my feelings so if you’re gonna kiss and tell please leave. Thanks.

Snarky comments

Hi,

Apologies about last week i had a block but don’t worry I’m back and a year older .

Anyways, one thing I hate the most is comments dissing me about my anxiety or the fact that sometimes I struggle.

P.E every internet child’s worst nightmare but it happens and I do it twice a week without fail and tbh I’m really proud of that because that used to be one of my hardest problems. To make it even worse though, we had to do it with the boys- ok so pretty bad already and worrying me loads but it’s about to get a lot worse – it’s running laps of the court  and my normal p.e teacher isn’t there.

Something that we all need to understand

We all have some anxiety – it’s normal. If you on’t know why we have it it’s basically from the cave man days when we saw a lion we would sense fear and then run away, fight or flight. But whoever we are we all have anxiety but some have higher levels than others and chances are you reading this have an increased amount…. Continue reading →
