Tisket, we were meant for each other. Let's make forbidden babies to take over the world.

Sociopaths unite!

Seriously. actress skills among the best I've ever seen.

I don't have much advice, as your problems aren't like mine. But, trust me, my head screws with me more than I care to admit. My only words for you would be to employ a reduction of fucks given about everything. Stop caring so much about everything except your family, your animals, and your job. My main problem was worrying all the time. About EVERYthing. My body couldn't take it. Now, I just try to enjoy the moments. And I like praying mantises. They're pretty badass. Tiny little things like that ground me. FUCK MY DAY IS SUCKING ASS...Ooh praying mantis. WHUP THAT GRASSHOPPERS ASS, SON! Then I go run with one of my dogs for a few miles. Sometimes with my son, who rides alongside with his bicycle.

Doze acting skills tho. Too strong.

I am happy for the most part, I just have ridiculous anxiety about nothing in particular that completely fucks some of my days. I generally don't post here when I'm on an off day. I'd say most people don't realize the extent of my anxieties because I don't show them openly. I have a super weird complicated history of grief and loss which impacts my behavior pretty significantly ... Everyone has someting .

This is why you have cats.

Calvin says it best.

Attachment 7301

Some idiot photoshopped/filtered the hell out of a picture of their baby. A freakin baby! Yes, it's with great shame that we think our baby has a fat nose, imperfect skin and not quite bright enough eyes. We better break out the soft filter, so no one realizes we have a human baby! Idiots, idiots everywhere!

Do you have the picture to show us before/after?

I'm all for not smoking, but as someone who works with a lot of people in mental health crisis, might I recommend "fuck that". It's stressful in it's own right to quit smoking. If you're that anxious, focus on coping with the anxiety and, once things are more under control, then work on smoking cessation.

To clarify, you don't need to be jonesing for a cigarette when you're already anxious as hell. It's good to address the multiple issues as co-occurring issues.. substance use and mental illness.. are pretty common and working on one, without the other, is somewhat fruitless. But if you're in crisis that bad? Just focus on the anxiety.

Yeah not the best time to quit smoking, not until the anxiety is gone. As far as the meds go, brain is a funny thing its chemistry you could be lacking in dopamine, SSRI could be the right direction. keep working with your Dr.

Keep in mind, things always get better.

No, but I'm fairly certain the baby had a nose before the filtering.
