I’m super tired of people saying the same old tired ‘tips’ and acting like these things are EASY! They’re not. They are very hard and complex psychological issues.

For example it’s easy to tell yourself your worthy, but not so easy to recognize imposter syndrome in yourself. It’s hard to connect ‘eh I donno why but I hate this art piece I made that everyone else seems to honestly love’ to ‘I chronically feel like nothing I ever do is good enough.’

I prefer to not ever "What if..." things. Sure, I'll consider possibilities. I'll hedge. I'll make sure that I'm prepared for contingencies.

When it comes to the action though? I prefer screaming "I regret everything!!!" and go for it.

It's never failed me. If you think it's time to go to an job interview with nothing but your pants on your head and a smile, go nuts. Maybe it'll work? The fact is, I've pre-regretted my actions so I don't have to worry about.

Because I'm stuck on the floor of my kitchen curled up in a ball. I picked that spot because the air feels different. If I move from that spot I will cry.

Anyone who says you can overpower or logic with an anxiety attack has never gone through a bad one.
