    Oh god please don’t leave me alone with my thoughts. Meditation leaves me with panic attacks, and breathing exercises leave me dizzy and anxious.

    Would dissociating for a while work? 🥺👉👈

          This might work for a lot of people, but if you’re past a certain threshold, or, once you’re alone with your thoughts, you only manage to self-flagellate, you’re only going to end up in a worse place than before. People in these situations do not need to be told to meditate, they need to be taught how, probably with direct guidance at the beginning.

        I do, thank you for asking :)

        CPTSD + ADHD + Autism = a mess, I’m fine so long as my brain never stops. I’m hoping to buy a house in another province to get as far away from my family as possible.
