Fear is the mind killer. You know, when I book tickets or holidays I always think it's a good idea at the time. But as the event approaches, I start to worry about how anxiety will affect these things. This has gone on my whole life, but I say, 'Thanks for your opinion, Mr. Anxiety' your opinion is noted, but I'm going to do it anyway. Feel the fear and do it anyway. The second thing to remember is that the actual event is actually not an issue when you're doing it. Most of the time, you forget about it and wonder why you were worried in the first place. Who else gets this? The thoughts are way worse than the 'thing'. So a successful concert trip on Friday and a partial success last night in the theatre where I had to leave. Both wins in my book. I'm feel8ng a bit done in today. Taking it easy Congratulations to @littlewolfkd for winning his own battle with going out yesterday. I was rooting for you, and you did it. I'm so happy. #agrophobiasufferer #agrophobia #healthanxietyrecovery #healthanxietysupportgroup #nothingbadfeelingeverlasts #overcomingmentalillness #overcominganxiety #overcomingoverwhelm #anxietyawareness2024 #anxietyuk #healthanxietyrecovery #healthanxietyawareness #healingoutloud #gradualexposure #gradualexposuretherapy #changenothingandnothingchanges #groundyourself #groundingtechniques #meditationmatters #healthanxietysupportgroup #letstalkaboutmentalhealth #helpingyoungpeople #mentalhealthmatters #overcomingadversity #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthbattles

The support this community is giving to @youngmindsuk has forced the government to recognise the importance of early intervention when a young person's mental health deteriorates. I was wondering how to steer HumanKind of late. However, it's seems that what I have done and am doing now has always been a young person's focus. I can't wait to see these hubs up and running. I am trying to impart my knowledge and help from my old, terribly anxious younger self as a preventative measure to youngsters of today. I just need to find a way to deliver it better. Plus, I want to continue to support Young Minds to continue the fight. Keep going.

Holidays and Agoraphobia. Susie and I managed to get away to Oxford and Blenheim Palace for a short break. It was much needed, and the weather has been kind. It's made us feel a bit more normal since the events of March 10. There's still much improvement to be had. I found this trip easy apart from the usual negative thought pattern of 'Are you going to have a panic attack? Are you going to get no sleep? Are you going to have to come home early?' These thoughts are always there, but I am stronger than them now. A growing number of you I have connected with on here recently have real issues with agoraphobia. I just want to let you all know that not only do I know what you're going through, I know exactly what you're going through. Panic attacks 5 mins after leaving my house, unable to use public transport, panic attacks at the wheel of my car, debilitating loss of energy, cancelled holidays, coming home from holidays early. Not travelling abroad for 16 years. I know what it's like and it's safe to say I've had a lions share of disaster holidays and going out places. I just want you to know that I'm with you on this anxiety battle. I know how hard it is. I feel you. Im here for you and together we are going to kick this things arse. Great trips like this one are possible. The British Icons of Fashion was incredible.

It was about this time last week that I was coming home from visiting my wife, in hospital, absolutely shattered. I kind of limped through last week work wise and other things. On Thursday, I had to see the doctor myself as my heart rate didn't seem to want to slow down. After talking to him and now all the adrenaline has gone, I feel a lot calmer. The mental health crisis team have visited us three times. Susie is not too bad during the day, but at night, her sleep is still off, which has me a bit concerned. Susie is back at work tonight in the pub. We shall see how this goes. I've just cooked her a nice roast chicken, and after she leaves for work, I may go to the gym. It was very sunny earlier, and we had an opportunity to walk Juno, a dog, which on occasion has been mistaken for a horse. #recoveroutloud #wedorecover #psychosisevent #psychosis #psychosisbreakdown #anxietysufferer #healthanxiety #fightingmentalillness #overcomingmentalillness #overcominganxiety #overcomingoverwhelm #anxietyawareness2024 #anxietyuk #healthanxietyrecovery #healthanxietyawareness #healingoutloud #gradualexposure #gradualexposuretherapy #changenothingandnothingchanges #groundyourself #groundingtechniques #meditationmatters #exerciseformentalhealth #exerciseformh
I am trying to rebuild myself from the events of last month and Saturday/Sunday morning. I'm not going to lie, I still feel wiped out and have been having naps during the day. I'm not surprised, given I was up all night wrestling my wife who was suffering from psychosis. Hopefully, I will feel better soon. I never saw myself as a strong person, being too scared to board a plane for 16 years, amongst other worries. Being raised by someone with factitious syndrome with a fixation on keeping healthy put the fear of most situations into me. However, when I was watching my wife disintegrate in front of me, having to stop her from attacking me, other people, injure herself for 4 hours straight another patient called Bartosh came over to comfort me. Bartosh (who was in A&E with stitches on a rather nasty injury on the back of his head because some thugs smashed him with 'something metal' as he took some cash out at an ATM) told me 'I am a very strong man' and 'he couldn't handle what I was going through'. Thanks, Bart, thanks for being there. It was a rough night, but I'm looking forward to visiting my friends in Larne Northern Ireland by plane because it will be nothing compared to what I endured, proving I am stronger than I think. And you are too. NB if you zoom in on photo I am trying to encourage my back and shoulder hairs to be able to comb over my bald head lol. #psychosis #psychosisbreakdown #psychosisevent #buildyourselfback #buildyourselfbackstronger #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #battlingmentalillnesstogether #youcangetbetter #youcanchange #resilience #resiliencebuilding #healthanxietyrecovery #healthanxietysupportgroup #nothingbadfeelingeverlasts #nobadfeelinglasts #healyourself #helpisoutthere #gradualexposure #gradualexposuretherapy #changenothingandnothingchanges #keeppushingthrough
Straight up, I have a problem with Alcohol, but not in the way you might think. I have a genetic intolerance to Alcohol. I can feel quite ruff on small quantities of booze. As a teenager, when my health anxiety was at it’s worst, because I was freaked out by any bodily ‘changes’ I was completely teetotal. I had to be in complete control, I was so wired looking out for any possible signs of ‘danger’, I had to be ‘switched’ on, so alcohol was completely out. You could say anxiety robbed me of my adolescence, but that’s another story. I didn’t really start drinking until my mid 20’s. I’ve never been drunk. I’ve been tipsy. But never drunk or legless. My intolerance to alcohol is so bad that it literally shuts me down from drinking because even small quantities make me feel ill. And of course, my preprogrammed health anxiety from my youth kicks in, and I just can’t drink more than a 1 or 2 measures cos I'm starting to feel on edge because I feel hot, sweating and feel my blood pressure has gone up. I’ve had only a handful of hangovers. I notice I feel depressed the next day after a small drink the night before. It's bloody expensive to drink, I've noticed. If I’m totally honest, I don’t like the taste of alcohol and rarely enjoy drinking, which is why I’m going to be cutting it out. I couldn’t finish this pint of Guiness on Boxing Day. However, after a dry January, I do really enjoy a glass of wine in restaurants. I really enjoy this, and so this will remain, but this will be a lot more infrequent than now.

How are we all? How's your minds and bodies been? I haven't been around much as I celebrate feeling free of anxiety, and a major work project kicks off.

🌟 Supporting children with selective mutism is a journey filled with love and empowerment. 🗣️💖 Here's why each element matters: 1: Understanding: It's the first step to unlocking their potential. Recognizing that selective mutism is more than shyness helps us empathize and find effective strategies. 🧠💡 2: Trust: Building trust creates a safe space for their voices to bloom. When your child trusts that parents, teachers, and therapists support them, they feel safe to take small steps, like gestures or whispered words. 🤝🌼 3: Small Steps: Every small victory is a giant leap forward. Celebrating moments when your child manages to gesture, make eye contact, or share a few whispers reinforces their confidence. 🚀🦶 4: Gradual Exposure: Like a sunrise, it warms their confidence. Gradual exposure to speaking situations, starting with what feels comfortable, allows your child's confidence to grow, step by step. 🌄🔥 5: Inclusive Environment: A playground of acceptance and support. Creating an inclusive environment at home and school where your child feels valued is essential. When others accept and support them, they're encouraged to use their voice. 🏞️🤗 6: Collaboration: Together, we're their cheerleaders and guides as they guide us as well. Collaboration between your child, home, and school ensures a consistent, supportive environment. It reinforces the message that they're not alone on this journey. 🙌🚀 7: No Pressure: It's about comfort, not coercion. Avoiding pressure and expectations allows your child to progress at their own pace. 🙅♂️🙏 8: Patience: Like a gardener, we nurture their growth. Patience is the care and support that helps your child's confidence grow. 🌱🌼 Embrace these elements, celebrate the journey, and watch them shine! 🌈💬 #EmpowerSMKids #SupportAndCelebrate #togetherwecanovercome #selectivemutismtreatment #selectivemutismtreatment #selectivemutism #selectivemutismawareness #overcomeselectivemutism #smallstepsm #livingwithsm #wordswillcome #homeschoolcollaboration #gradualexposuretherapy #sminschool #selectivemutisminschool #inclusiveschools #confidentchildren #growthmindsetclassroom #selfesteeminkids

Gradual exposure rewires the brain and lessens the anxiety, while avoidance instils that there is an issue and compounds it. It's not easy. But I pushed through to the zoo lol. The wildlife centre I saw some creatures. The otter reeked of fish. @heartsofgrowth credit for image #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietysufferer #anxiouspeople #mentalhealthtribe #groundingtechniques #meditationmatters #wellnesstechniques #gradualexposure #gradualexposuretherapy #rewireyourbrain #rewiretofire #mentalhealthfriends #dontquit #mentalhealthtips #healyourself #healingjourney #summonthestrength #dontfearchange #changenothingandnothingchanges #howyoutalktoyourselfmatters
🐾 New Blog Post: Separation Anxiety in Dogs: Myths Busted, Solutions Explored 🐾 Separation anxiety is one of the major issues leading to dog surrender in Australia. In our latest blog post, trainer Erin Hart from @trainingwithheart.dogs debunks misconceptions and offers an effective solution to dealing with separation anxiety. Contrary to popular belief, separation anxiety is not caused by loving your dog too much or coddling them. Different types of separation anxiety exist, from FOMO-related behaviors to hyper-attachment. In the post, Erin discusses methods that don't work i.e. letting the dog "cry it out", instead recommending gradual exposure therapy. This approach involves suspending absences and gradually increasing alone time, ensuring dogs never exceed their threshold. Treating separation anxiety requires time, effort, and patience, but you have control over triggering events. Implementing gradual exposure therapy can help your dog feel safe and establish a harmonious coexistence.

A trip to Tate Modern to go into a sensory rooms by @yayoikusama_ and another exhibition by Cezanne. Very very busy. But I discovered its not the amounts of people that overwhelm me, it's the noise. Kept my noise cancelling headset on. All adding to the exposure.

Sometimes doing exactly the opposite of what you anxious brain tells you, although scary, may be exactly what you need. Listen to your gut instinct. Stick with it. The fear subsides. It always does.

I have thalassophobia. It may simply sound like a quirky fear to some but it is difficult for those who have struggled with deep bodies of water. For all you know i am a swimmer and was part of a swimming team but never went down the depths until yesterday. I knew i had this since the day i trained for a competition way back in high school because I was afraid to go down the pool alone. Did i attempt to conquer it? Many times over! I trained myself a lot with all kind of sorts to the day i will be able to swim in open waters alone. But i loose everytime. Yesterday again was my recent attempt. I survived the free dive! Of course with professional help. With hormones go all ballistic, I swam with the sea turtles, sardines and almost sat with the mermaid statue and bangka at seabed. I enjoyed the peaceful marine gardens that sat beautifully anchored to the rocky seafloor. Dealing with thalassophobia can be challenging, but i hope i will be able to overcome it one day to see and enjoy more water creatures. #diaryofaswimmer #dealingwithphobias #gradualexposuretherapy #irrationalfear #conqueror #overcomer #freedive #sardinerun #moalboaldiving #moalboalcebu
💆🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💆🏻♀️ Setiap daripada kita ada 'Comfort Zone' yang berbeza tapi ada satu persamaan iaitu kita takkan boleh capai beyond our limit kalau masih selesa dalam comfort zone Betul tak? Tapi, kalau nak keluar daripada comfort zone, kita tak boleh keluar secara serentak dan serta merta tau, bahaya. Sebab apa? Nanti kita akan rasa sangat overwhelming dan tak bagus untuk growth kita. Ada satu teknik yang terkenal dalam bidang psychology yang biasa digunakan untuk orang yang mempunyai ketidakselesaan ataupun fobia terhadap sesuatu perkara iaitu 'Gradual Exposure Therapy' Apa tu? Iaitu satu teknik yang mana seseorang itu cuba sesuatu yang baharu/ fight apa yang dia takut secara berperingkat. Contohnya harini sikit, bila dah okay dan boleh handle. Kita upgrade exposure tu sikit-sikit sampai lah kita terbiasa dan dapat atasi. Korang cuba keluar sikittttt je dari comfort zone, pastu masuk balik dan terus cuba sampai korang dah okay dan cuba keluar sikit-sikit tau Saya yakin korang boleh 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 📸 Donna Pant (RM 99 for 2 pieces) #motivation #motivationalquotes #psychology #anxious #gradualexposuretherapy #comfortzone #quotesoftheday #combosale #salesalesale #viral #seluarmurahmurah #malaysiatrending #OOTD #anxiety #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #growth #grit #malaysia #morningmotivation #morningvibes #hustlehard

Does exercise make your anxiety worse? Anxiety symptoms, like what is experienced during a panic attack, are similar to how the body responds to exercise. For that reason, some people actually have MORE anxiety when they exercise, and might even fear and avoid exercise. How can you get started with exercise if this is true for you? --Get your doctor’s approval. Just knowing that you are healthy enough to exercise can reduce your anxiety. --Ask a supportive friend to join you. Knowing that someone is with you if something goes wrong can be very relieving. --Listen to music or podcasts to distract your racing thoughts. --Start with exercise that is low impact, and doesn’t raise your heartbeat significantly, exercise like yoga, gentle walking, and tai chi. --Work with your therapist and doctor to get to the root cause of the anxiety. Then you can gradually work up in your exercise as part of your treatment. By working gradually, you can retrain your mind to recognize the physical symptoms associated with intense exercise and anxiety as beneficial, healthy, and create new positive associations.

Hey world, this is Mambo! He’s the cutest #hound flavoured #mutt from Mexico. After lots of moving around and waiting for a home, Mambo wants to hold onto his guardian (angel) for dear life and has strong feelings about being alone💞 When Mambo was first left alone he went into panic mode 💥🚨 He escaped his crate, tore down curtains and tried to unlock the door in a desperate attempt to find his guardian. He left paw prints on the top of the doorframe in his frenzy💔 Mambo’s guardian listened to my podcast episode on #separationanxiety with @teachmeaboutdoggies and she knew what she had to do💪💕 The first order of business was to 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 — never leaving Mambo alone for any longer than he can handle (which was only a few seconds). Mambo started hanging with some sitters who helped him realize that there’s fun to be had when he’s apart from his main squeeze🌈 We began a #desensitization training plan to help Mambo become comfy with being alone. It’s a gradual #process but it’s #science and it works! it’s similar to #gradualexposuretherapy for humans 🥚>🐣>🐤>🐔>🐓 It’s only been a few weeks and Mambo’s already saying #whatever when his guardian picks up her keys 🔑 grabs her bag 💼 puts on her coat 🧥 and shoes 👟 and walks out the door🚪He’s laying down and relaxing while he’s alone for short amounts of time💗 Check out the second photo 👀 to see Mambo snoozing through his time alone during a training exercise 🐶💤 #waytogo 🏆✨ The other day, I re-assessed Mambo and he was comfy being alone for 𝟸 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝟺𝟻 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴! This is a REALLY big deal — some major #progress 🐾🙌 We’re all getting better at understanding #exponentialgrowth with covid 📈 And often #separationanxietytraining follows this trajectory. Building on Mambo’s ability to be alone by a few seconds was really big! As we progressed, we were able to safely increase Mambo’s time alone in larger and larger increments🌟 Effective training depends on Mambo never being exposed to anything more than he can comfortably handle. Ultimately Mambo sets the pace and true to his name he’s dancing through this💃💕 I’m #grateful to be on this journey with Mambo and his guardian😌
