Let me know if I missed something

Gosh, I'm getting so many followers lately, I should be so so thankful! /sarcasm

I've been too lazy, I gotta start blocking these spam accounts smh

Done. I blocked about 15-20 accounts :/ this is lame, tumblr

No militar

Perfection. They are all reunited

So never mind my thoughts, just gonna ramble for a minute. I'm back home from getting my passport ordered. Still sicky.

But look! That's him! He's here!

That's ma boy!

That's Ken!

For the second time he's left and come back.

I wasn't sure what direction they'd go with him, but definitely on the better side. I was really, really hoping they wouldn't make his hair too short or give him douchebag hair. I'm so glad it's not. I miss his longer hair, but this is okay.

He's... All growed up now. ;___;

He finally made it passed childhood. The threshold.

He finally changed his camo pants, thank jeebus!

That's unmistakably Ken right there.

Still wish they'd tried to marry the concept of himself accepting who he was, but we'll just have to see how the episodes go.

I don't mind a bit of plot.

As for me, everything doesn't have to be nonstop fluff, but I'd also rather not have to deal with unnecessary, unwarranted, unfleshed out drama, either. Ya dig?

I think there should be enough to work with.

As usual, it'd be a shame it's just probably gonna be 4 episodes, but I'm still just happy to be able to spend more time with him that's not told in the past tense.

Man.

Ken's a brick wall now.

Hummm

His eyebrow do be different. They're more rounded now.

I don't like that he still reminds me of Morgan.

I wonder what the bracelets are for, just looks? Or is there a meaning?

I like his leg bag. That's sexy. Khehehehe.

Maybe there is a calculator in there, I hope so! Glasses case maybe? A tiny puppy??

Dammit, what's in the leg bag!!? Now I have to know! The mysterious leg bag, what could be inside?...

Thighs... Legs!!! Legs!!! I hope he'll finally have legs!!! His pants are suffocating his... He's gonna bust out... Uhh. So many pockets. So many mysteries. So many zipperrrrrrs.

*the Puku has frozen, do you wish to restart the program?*

welcome back kentin c: <3

( this girls its me c: )

YES YES YES 💪🏻💗

Kentin has a whole new face, only man who was hit by puberty twice 

Kentin really do be acting like a Pokémon!

Wow, he really does resemble a pokemon evolution chain.

And then Puku died.

The shock was too great. The stress had finally gotten to her.

She could not believe her eyes.

They told her he had died years ago when he left for the war.

But there he was standing right before her. It must have been an illusion, she must have finally lost her mind.

"I'm home." He says, warmly with a gentle, longing smile.

Audial hallucinations, too?

But no, he's really there!

Kentin has finally returned home.

Get yourself a friend like Amy who makes memes out of your misfortunes xD

Y'all remember this? Fun times.

Also, fancy seeing you all here again. Missed y'all ❤

Why "doing something relaxing” does not help your anxiety

A lot of the time when people give advice intended to relieve anxiety, they suggest doing “relaxing” things like drawing, painting, knitting, taking a bubble bath, coloring in one of those zen coloring books, or watching glitter settle to the bottom of a jar.

This advice is always well-intentioned, and I’m not here to diss people who either give it or who benefit from it. But it has never, ever done shit for me, and this is because it goes about resolving anxiety in the completely wrong way.  

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO when suffering from anxiety is to do a “relaxing” thing that just enables your mind to dwell and obsess more on the thing that’s bothering you. You need to ESCAPE from the dwelling and the obsession in order to experience relief.

You can drive to a quiet farm, drive to the beach, drive to a park, or anywhere else, but as someone who has tried it all many, many times, trust me–it’s a waste of gas. You will just end up still sad and stressed, only with sand on your butt. You can’t physically escape your sadness. Your sadness is inside of you. To escape, you need to give your brain something to play with for a while until you can approach the issue with a healthier frame of mind. 

People who have anxiety do not need more time to contemplate, because we will use it to contemplate how much we suck.

In fact, you could say that’s what anxiety is–hyper-contemplating. When we let our minds run free, they run straight into the thorn bushes. Our minds are already running, and they need to be controlled. They need to be given something to do, or they’ll destroy everything, just like an overactive husky dog ripping up all the furniture. 

Therefore, I present to you: 

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN ANXIOUS

–Go on a walk

–Watch a sunset, watch fish in an aquarium, watch glitter, etc.

–Go anywhere where the main activity is sitting and watching

–Draw, color, do anything that occupies the hands and not the mind

–Do yoga, jog, go fishing, or anything that lets you mentally drift 

–Do literally ANYTHING that gives you great amounts of mental space to obsess and dwell on things.

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO WHEN ANXIOUS:

–Do a crossword puzzle, Sudoku, or any other mind teaser game. Crosswords are the best.

–Write something. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. Write the Top 10 Best Restaurants in My City. Rank celebrities according to Best Smile. Write some dumb Legolas fanfiction and rip it up when you’re done. It’s not for publication, it’s a relief exercise that only you will see. 

–Read something, watch TV, or watch a movie–as long as it’s engrossing. Don’t watch anything which you can run as background noise (like, off the top of my head, Say Yes to The Dress.) As weird as it seems, American Horror Story actually helps me a lot, because it sucks me in. 

–Masturbate. Yes, I’m serious. Your mind has to concentrate on the mini-movie it’s running. It can’t run Sexy Titillating Things and All The Things That are Bothering Me at the same time. (…I hope. If it can, then…ignore this one.) 

–Do math problems—literally, google “algebra problems worksheet” and solve them. If you haven’t done math since 7th grade this will really help you. I don’t mean with math, I mean with the anxiety. 

–Play a game or a sport with someone that requires great mental concentration. Working with 5 people to get a ball over a net is a challenge which will require your brain to turn off the Sadness Channel. 

–Play a video game, as long as it’s not something like candy crush or Tetris that’s mindless. 

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO DURING PANIC ATTACKS ESPECIALLY:

–List the capitals of all the U.S. states

–List the capitals of all the European countries

–List all the shapes you can see. Or all the colors. 

–List all the blonde celebrities you can think of.

–Pull up a random block of text and count all the As in it, or Es or whatever.  

Now obviously, I am not a doctor. I am just an anxious person who has tried almost everything to help myself.  I’ve finally realized that the stuff people recommend never works because this is a disorder that thrives on free time and free mental space. When I do the stuff I listed above, I can breathe again. And I hope it helps someone here too. 

(Now this shouldn’t have to be said but if the “do nots” work for you then by all means do them. They’ve just never worked for me.)

This would’ve been great an hour ago

If your anxiety includes rapid heartbeat for no reason then it may help to exercise! It helps for me because I’m focused on whatever moves I’m doing and breathing, and it gives my heart rate a reason to be that high so that I can start the slow cooking down process and (hopefully) bring that heart rate down with it. Look up a quick cardio workout on YouTube or something and just do it in your room!

This is so, SO true. 

All ‘doing something relaxing’ ever did for me was give my brain MORE free time to FREAK THE FUCK OUT. 

I like how this boil down to grabbing something then tell the brains weasels to GO FETCH YOU PIECES OF SHIT

I mean. 

That’s basically it tho. 

I find it fascinating how panic and anxiety disorders manifest differently in different people. THE ENTIRE REASON I RUN IS TO MANAGE MY ANXIETY. I don’t give a fuck about having calves like cantaloupes. Running saps whatever’s fueling my anxiety and helps me remain non-anxious for another day. I do not know why.
