#CheckInWithMe #Catastrophization

Is anyone else feeling tired of everything feeling unstable? Thoughts on how to find stability? I have ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and so I'm in a constant storm of I want stability, but I don't know how to make stability. It's really awful.

Covid Catastrophization

I work at a correctional facility and was just tested positive for Covid last Friday. My anxiety is horrible and I just catastrophize that it’s going to end up bad like those you see in the news. It’s to the point where it consumes my whole day. Does anyone have any advise?

Rename Pain Catastrophizing

I saw this website about a project to rename the term “pain catastrophizing.” I never liked that term because catastrophizing is akin to exaggerating, embellishing, dramatizing, and plain old just making stuff up (AKA lying). I know how bad my pain can get and I am not exaggerating it.

Catastrophic Thinking #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

I’ve lost two beautiful betta fish in two days. I found a dead monarch butterfly in my butterfly garden. Seemingly small losses, but the are looming heavy over me. See, they are more than fish and a butterfly. They are a representation of former losses, failures and reinforcement that I don’t deserve good things and that I lose what I love. I have catastrophized these losses into an irrational fear that I am going to lose my rescue pup- an adorable, well socialized, obedient, funny lap dog purebred Red nose American Pitbull Terrior, who is on his way to becoming a Service Dog.
I know these plaguing thought are irrational, I am just historically acquainted with loss. Thank you for listening ❤️ #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #CPTSD #Anxiety #TreatmentresistantDepression #Selfharm #Catastrophization #KlonopinSucks

What ways do you de stress? #Stress #Anxiety #AnxietyDisorders #CopingTips #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicAttacks #Paranoia #Catastrophization

I’ve been having extremely high stress and been catastrophising (thinking someone is going to come kill me when I hear a noise). I’ve been having to balance school and a new job.
I usually try to deal with stress with TV, music, coloring, bullet journaling but they don’t seem to be working. Anyone have any out of the box ideas to de stress?
