poem: “beautiful people”

Beautiful person, 
sitting on the other side of this screen. 
Beautiful person, 
reading my poem, hopefully it puts you at ease. 

Beautiful people, 
here, there, and everywhere. 
Beautiful people, 
all around me. 

Beautiful person, 
so strong, so brave, so cool. 
Beautiful person, 
so strong, so brave, so you. 

Beautiful people, 
we’re all unique. 
Beautiful people, 
all with a different speciality. 

Beautiful person, 
sometimes you feel down. 
Beautiful person, 
sometimes you want to drown. 

Beautiful people, 
it’s clear to see. 
Beautiful people, 
you’re a spectacular being! 

Beautiful person, 
please know that you are loved. 
Beautiful person, 
please know that you are adored. 

Beautiful people, 
don’t let the world get you down. 
Beautiful people, 
let me wipe away that frown! 

Beautiful person, 
I know that life is tough. 
Beautiful person, 
I know that it can be rough. 

Beautiful people, 
so smart, so kind, so perfect. 
Beautiful people, 
so smart, so kind, so you. 

Beautiful person, 
I love you so. 
Beautiful person, 
more than you know.

Beautiful people, 
don’t let them drag you down. 
Beautiful people, 
you’re a spectacular angel. 

Beautiful person, 
let it be known, 
that you are you, 
and that’s the perfect truth! 
Don’t let anyone change you!

quote 004

“Never give up on your dreams, and never let anyone tell you that what you love is inconsequential or useless or a waste of time. Because if you love it? If that OTP or children’s card game or abridged series or YA book or animated series makes you happy? That is never a waste of time. Because in the end we’re all just a bunch of weirdos standing in front of other weirdos, asking for their username.”

what are anxiety attacks?

Greetings & salutations! It’s Minah, AKA Libraime! We’re back with another blog post about anxiety (link to first post)! In the previous post, we talked what anxiety is, general anxiety versus anxiety disorders, and symptoms of anxiety! Now, in this post, we’re going to be discussing anxiety attacks! I really hope that this brings some insight to those struggling with anxiety!

What are anxiety attacks? Anxiety attacks are a feeling of overwhelming, controlling apprehension, fear, worry, distress, or stress. For a lot of people, these anxiety attacks can build up slowly but surely, and will/may worsen when a stressful event occurs.

Anxiety attacks vary greatly from individual to individual, when it comes to symptoms, triggers, resulting behaviors, and et cetera. According to healthline.com, it’s because the many symptoms of anxiety don’t happen to everyone, and in addition, they can change over time.

Common symptoms of anxiety may include:

  • Feeling faint or dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Dry mouth
  • Sweating
  • Chills or hot flashes
  • Apprehension and/or worry
  • Restlessness
  • Distress
  • Fear
  • Numbness and/or tingling

Some people confuse anxiety attacks with panic attacks, but know that they’re different. Prior to researching, even I didn’t know that there were differences. Thus, we’ll be exploring some of those differences in a later post. However, for now, I’ll provide you with some simple differences.

According to medicalnewstoday.com, panic attacks are typically more intense than anxiety attacks. In addition, panic attacks are generally more of a sudden, out-of-the-blue occurrence, while anxiety attacks usually have a trigger.

However, this does not mean that panic attacks don’t have a trigger. Sometimes they do have a trigger, sometimes they’re out-of-the-blue, sometimes they can even be a build-up of anxiety. For example, someone with anxiety has been put through uncomfortable situations again and again, repeatedly. All that stress/distress and anxiety builds up, until they may have a panic attack.

We’re going to end this blog post here, but I really hope that this post helped! If you have anything to add to this post, please comment it down below and I will add it in! I am not an expert nor a professional; I am simply an individual who suffers from an anxiety disorder and wishes to help & support others.

In a later post, we will be exploring ways to calm down during an anxiety attack/panic attack, so keep an eye out for that! I sincerely hope that you all have a fantastic day! This is Libraime, logging off!

what is anxiety?

Greetings & salutations! It’s yours truly, Minah AKA Libraime! So, if you can tell from the title of this blog post, for today, I’ve decided to write a post on anxiety! I have anxiety too, and it can very hard to deal with. It’s a real struggle but it’s very important to learn how to deal with it. Starting in this post, we’re going to learn about anxiety.

You might be wondering: what is anxiety? Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress, according to healthline.com. “It’s a feeling of fear or apprehension about what’s to come.” Anything can make you anxious. From something as huge as an important job interview to something as small as leaving the house, anything can trigger an anxiety attack. Some people have anxiety that is so severe, it can be considered an anxiety disorder.

It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious/scared about anything: taking a test, asking out your crush, going to school, anything and everything. Anxiety is unpleasant, but everyone experiences it. Some less than others, and others more than most. Ordinary anxiety comes and goes, but it won’t affect your everyday life.

However, an anxiety disorder means that the feeling of fear and/or panic can be with you all the time. It can be very intense, crippling almost. This anxiety may restrict you from doing the simplest of things, such as talking to your boss or even walking across the street. I, along with a wide majority of my friends, have an anxiety disorder. And that’s okay. You’re not alone in this struggle, and there will always be people around you willing to help and support you (we will be delving into how to support someone with anxiety in a later post).

Anxiety disorders are the most common form of emotional disorders and can affect anyone at any age, according to healthline.com.

If you’re wondering if you have anxiety, there may be symptoms. Symptoms of general anxiety may include: rapid breathing, increased heart rate, restlessness, troubles falling asleep, and/or difficulty concentrating. The anxiety symptoms you may have might be completely different from someone else’s anxiety symptoms. If you think you may have anxiety, ask a trusted adult and/or professional. It may be your best friend, your counselor, your parent/guardian, your doctor, whoever you can trust and can help you.

In a later post, I will be detailing what an anxiety attack is (link to anxiety attack post), and how to deal with it.

I sincerely hope that this post helps bring some insight into your life. Know that there are countless people you can talk to and rely on. I will be making more posts about anxiety later on, so keep an eye out! I’m ending this post here, but I wish you all a spectacular day!
