I've suffered from anxiety, both general and acute attacks ever since I was in my early twenties. I've found that being able to recognize the signs and define it/what triggers it is a huge help...sort of like being able to "pop" out of a bubble. I hope this coming week is much better!<br /><br />I love the shot of those banana bites! I can imagine how perfectly sweet and satisfying they are. I haven't made theme yet, but I'm definitely going to. <br /><br />Take care! xoxoRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-88933115675095619992012-04-15T21:30:15.779-04:002012-04-15T21:30:15.779-04:00Aww thanks Isobelle, you are such a sweetheart. I ...Aww thanks Isobelle, you are such a sweetheart. I definitely feel better that I got it off of my chest. It's not easy to write about but in the end, it has to be talked about because that's my reality. And as I'm learning a lot of other people's reality. If I can do anything to help anyone that's what I'm going to do.<br /><br />Thanks! I love kitchen dance parties, I think it is so fun and a great way to burn off the extra tasting calories ;) Haha yeah Delilah is a sassy chick, can't get enough of her!xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-21515510226538450672012-04-15T18:16:36.886-04:002012-04-15T18:16:36.886-04:00Completely agree with Maud all the way - it is def...Completely agree with Maud all the way - it is definitely a good thing for you to write about it on here (or anywhere) so that you can relieve some of the feelings you have from the anxiety. I really wish I could hug you!<br />I know it must be tough. I struggle with the same thing occasionally, but I haven't found the confidence to talk about it on the blog - which is why I'm so proud of you for writing this! It's really helpful for all of us to understand.<br /><br />I love your little bad day kit! Oh and I also dance around the kitchen when I'm baking/cooking. There's no way around it, it just always happens. <br />Delilah is the best lookin' chick around!

I tend to bottle up everything which is why I think I get pretty intense anxiety for a long period of time. <br /><br />It is always a tough decision to share something so personal but I in the end I know I did the right thing. I've gotten a lot of support and wonderful messages and if I'm able to help someone in any small way then it was definitely worth it.<br /><br />Thank you! I got out for a bit today too and now I'm back ha! I hope that you are able to overcome what you are dealing with right now and you definitely have a bunch of people here in the blogosphere rooting for you too!xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-54984900322565138212012-04-15T15:20:58.530-04:002012-04-15T15:20:58.530-04:00Thanks Gabby, I'm definitely feeling better.

I'm really glad I have it all set up and I'm pretty happy with how it came out :)<br /><br />I'm very interested in seeing what you have to say about anxiety and panic. I think that one of the differences is that panic attacks are acute and often include physiological symptoms like inability to breathe, racing heart, etc. I get panic attacks too but those are usually brought on by something. I can have periods of anxiety where they can last a while and I just retreat within myself and get consumed by stress and anxiety. Like I said though, I can recognize it quickly and it helps me from falling too far in which is definitely a good thing.<br /><br />Thanks Sage, I really appreciate it! I'm feeling better and I'm sure I'll be back to my usual self soon.xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-89713550808438490312012-04-15T11:46:09.083-04:002012-04-15T11:46:09.083-04:00Thanks Ingrid, I'm very glad too!

Once I was out I was glad I went though.<br /><br />Sage is very awesome, I always feel like I've learned something after reading her posts! I'm very excited that I got my kit together too!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the bites! Haha yes indeed I decided to keep it real.

I'm pretty sure you will always find an empathetic ear here, and maybe even by talking about such things, you'll help somebody else.<br />At the time time, I understand the reluctance to share. I'm going through something pretty weird right now too and it's hard to assume people will care, and allow yrself to be vulnerable - but we do - and it's okay.<br />I hope things go better for you. Getting outside does help. And if it doesn't, you can always go back in :)foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-10625694292646693462012-04-15T07:30:38.691-04:002012-04-15T07:30:38.691-04:00I'm sorry to hear you've been having such ...I'm sorry to hear you've been having such a tough time :(. I don't have any experience with anxiety attacks but my best friend gets them and I have seen first hand how terrible they are. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better though! I love you bad day kit! You included so many things I would- tea, yoga, nail polish and baking equipment. I might have to create one of my own :)<br /><br />Gabby @ the veggie nookGabby @ the veggie nookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561353505896101224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-5124768369670223632012-04-15T00:15:17.956-04:002012-04-15T00:15:17.956-04:00I love your bad day kit, especially the cheery yel...I love your bad day kit, especially the cheery yellow bag. I make tea too when I need a pick-me-up. Jasmine is my favorite. Thank you so much for the shout out! :)<br /><br />That's so strange that you mention anxiety attacks--I get panic attacks when I'm severely stressed out and I was just thinking about writing a post on them. I don't know what the difference is between anxiety attacks and panic attacks. My attacks come on super quick and I feel like I've been pushed off a tall building. It feels like I am dying and the world is ending all at once. Super scary. :(<br /><br />I feel bad that you're having a tough time.

Working through stuff is tough, and it's awesome that you're on your way. <br /><br />Definitely not a Debbie Downer post! I think it's therapeutic to share a little of ourselves sometimes. :)<br /><br />Thus, a Survival Kit is a great idea!! The cookie cutter ninjas are awesome! I've always wanted to be a travel writer, so in another life we'll be besties who travel - you'll photograph, and I'll try to think of a witty caption, while reviewing hotels/ restaurants! Perfect! ;)<br /><br />OMG - Delilah is too cute!!Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233746363191114228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-52088598460966386562012-04-14T22:05:32.767-04:002012-04-14T22:05:32.767-04:00I think you & I are a lot alike- I get that sa...I think you & I are a lot alike- I get that same type of anxiety. No reason for it, but I react the way you do- silent withdrawl. I totally understand! I've found that getting out, especially when it's nice weather, really helps a lot. It sounds like the same works for you. :) <br /><br />It's so awesome that you put together a bad day emergency kit. Such fun things you put in it, and even in such a cute bag! Sage does rock, doesn't she? <br /><br />I meant to print off the recipe for the banana bites yesterday and it slipped my mind. Going to do that right now, before I forget again! They look like a perfect treat. <br /><br />This didn't seem like a beast of a post at all, by the way. I appreciate when others post about their challenges because it shows that they're "keeping it real" (sorry, I'm at a loss for a similar expression....). <br /><br />Delilah is looking mighty stylish, and adorable as always! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Sarah!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380657062351771136noreply@blogger.com
