If I’m in panic mode, I focus on being fully present without thoughts. So if I’m home, I might start to clean, or make tea or just any activity that I can wholly focus on without thinking about what I’m doing. When I’m not in a panic, deep breathing usually helps. I try to meditate throughout the week when I’m not anxious to help with practicing staying present when the panic and anxiety does come.

Ahhh that sounds so nice ☺️ I’m a homebody so I recharge best at home, on my couch and the AC high so I can bundle under blankets while reading a book!

Sending a warm welcome! I relate—I honestly JUST started to comment here and there on Reddit within this past year. I join kbin and within a week I’ve commented more here then the 8 years I lurked on reddit. It’s just a better overall vibe here.

You reap what you sow

Thank you so much for sharing!

Wonderful to see and hope this continues to make its way to more states.

LOL is this even real life anymore 🤣

They are so cartoonishly evil. It’s just wild to me that these people are in actual power. Jesus.

Also haven’t been back on Reddit and don’t plan on going back. It’s hard, I’m used to being on Reddit multiple times a day and have to fight the muscle memory to click on the app. But I’m realizing I’m really not missing out on anything by not being there. I’d rather stick with this community as we continue to grow. I don’t even use third party apps—it’s just the principle. Just doesn’t feel right to go back, feels scummy to support the site knowing that it’s owner doesn’t give af about its users.

You’re absolutely right. I’d rather spend my time enjoying this community then worrying about Reddit. Whatever happens will happen at this point. I’m just happy I’ve found this community from all of this, it’s been so refreshing here!
