For short term relief/emotional regulation my counsellor taught me TIPP Temperature - cold water/ice/object to lower heart rate Intense exercise - a few mins of jumping jacks/running on the spot/shaking it off Paced breathing/box breathing Paired muscle relaxation - tense and relax different muscle groups

When I’m anxious I tend to get overactive so the ones that help me most are splashing cold water on my face and the intense exercise.

Anxiety during bedtime or if I have time during the day, ASMR or a well paced peaceful podcast also do the trick.

I think I will try the slower speed music, that sounds interesting.

I’m having such a visceral reaction to this picture I can’t even really explain. Why would you do this

Actually though the thought of eating a salad with ranch makes me ill. Like, ranch is a dip it is not for drowning my delicious greens in it. Creamy dressings in general (except for Ceasar) are just not the thing.

They would love to but we’re all equally fucked in this economy tbh. We’re all just trying to make more money so we can help each other out when someone needs it.

I have a coworker that if you try to call her and she doesn’t want to talk she straight up changes her status to away or busy and then just ignores your call. She is an a-hole but not for this reason, lol.

I have the opposite problem where I know there are better alternative routes but google refuses to acknowledge them.

This is just a Denny’s ad and I know this because I worked there for more than 10 years and we used these exact pictures for probably that entire time.

I’ve only ever seen Quora as a joke, I didn’t think people were actually getting good answers there.

Me failing a perception check six (6!) times in a row

Me too thanks

I like to call anyone older than me old because it’s funny and I perpetually feel like a child.

When I was little I thought my parents were old, now they are in their 60s and I think they are young, and I am the age they were and still feel like a child. Otherwise I’m not sure I really had a concept of age as a tie to mortality when I was younger.

But winRAR is free anyway

I was listening to this podcast that had an ad for a government system to help out people experiencing substance use (specifically alcohol) issues…directly followed by a government liquor store ad. In every single episode.

I think my cousins maybe made me try this as a joke when I was younger but hear me out…

Toast. With mayo. Sprinkled with chocolate powder.

I don’t eat it anymore because I’m a grown up or whatever but I still get cravings for it sometimes.

MMM I used to put choco krispies (think chocolate rice krispies) into my quesadillas. That shit was fire.

Y’all are just making sopa de tortilla now

Shout out to that time when I was like 11 and tried to download a lil bow wow song and my sister and I were greeted with a full screen p-in-v POV amateur porn on the family computer.

I mean, there’s plenty of billionaires so it doesn’t have to be both at the same time.

Ok but only because of that prozzac song lol
