Hey everyone! how are you all tonight?
I know on here, i do try to put on my best face and give good positive vibes to people to help them feel more encouraged and stuff.
but, as some of you may know, i do have generalized anxiety. built up from a lifetime of having to struggle in a tough family situation, and as such it has always been a tough thing for me at times. I've only ever had a panic attack once, but i used to suffer migraines, and to this day i do get headaches, body aches, and feelings of doom that settle in.
i do combat this though, with my martial arts, meditation, and breathing techniques. as well as my art, talking with friends, and finding fun things to watch. this has varying degrees of success for me, from working really well, to barely helping me control myself.
and because of a certain something that is coming up in a certain amount of time that has been weighing on my mind, i've been experiencing a lot more anxiety than usual, as well as rumination and over-researching stuff
it's not been fun, but i'm trying...
that being said, i never make a thread with the intent of just talking about me. so i want to know
How do you, fellow ponyvillagers, deal with your own anxiety and stress?
