Let's examine the benefits and drawbacks of acute stress response. Physiological reactions release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol which prepare the body to either stay and deal with a threat or flee from the dangerous situation. They can be critical for survival. Some people perform better under stress. However, chronic stress can cause fatigue, migraines, depression, metabolic disorders (such as diabetes) and other problems. We can cope with the response by performing physical and relaxation exercises, developing support networks, remaining engaged and getting the proper amount of rest. Learning how to calm the body and remain balanced can help us in numerous ways. In my case, study, meditation, artistic pursuits, breathing exercises, practicing martial arts and becoming a better marksman have removed all anxiety. Fear can rescue, enslave, debilitate or motivate. It is a question of how we react to it.

It is a matter of perspective. For example, poverty inspired me to pursue higher education, embark on a rewarding career and improve my circumstances. I was born penniless but I did not have to remain that way. A motorcycle accident could've left me in a wheelchair and wallowing in self-pity. I saw it as another challenge to overcome and with the aid of competent surgeons and therapists, I was able to regain my mobility. That situation put me on the path of meditation, regular exercise, weight training and martial arts. In "failed" relationships, I examined what went wrong, what should be avoided and what might increase the chances of success in future relationships. From my vantage point, when we view life's setbacks as opportunities, every negative consequence opens another portal toward a positive transformation and *learning* from them becomes second nature. I will surely face new obstacles. Some will appear insurmountable and fate is free to hurl as many difficulties as it chooses. Good, bring it on. As long as I have a pulse, there will be no excuse to retreat or ignore the lessons which may present themselves. In "Twilight of the Idols," Nietzsche put it this way: "What does not kill me makes me stronger."

It’s definitely encouraged, to the extent that if you don’t drink or drink very little, you are made to feel somewhat of an outsider or weird. It can affect things socially. I was a tad luckier because I commuted, so my excuse was that because my trains were so sporadic, I had to make sure I was a bit more “with it” to be able to get home! I don’t drink at all, but the reasoning behind the commuting seemed to make people understand more, as opposed to the disbelief and shock you get when you mention that you don’t drink!

On one hand, I think it’s a great way to bond with others to have the “classic uni experience”, of clubbing, pub crawls, etc. You must make a lot of memories that way, and strengthen friendships pretty quickly. It’d just be nicer if the classic uni experience kind of extended beyond that though. I think it does with the arts - no one has time to go to clubs due to the workload, so everyone smokes, gets high and creates art instead, with the occasional drink at the pub, aha. With the academics though, it does seem to be more centred on clubbing and such :)

uhhhhhh, die erste ask frage, auf die ich antworte, und dann gleich eine, die mir einen ganzen roman abverlangt. let‘s gooooo.

fandom: k-pop
in diesem bereich gibt es einige ideen, die ich gerne mal umsetzen würde. am meisten fesselt mich jedoch die Idee eines Trainees, der als coda (child of deaf adults) die ganz zeit in einer position ist, in der er einen traum lebt, den er nicht so mit seiner familie teilen kann, wie er es gerne würde. ansonsten wäre da noch die idee eines weiblichen trainees mit ausgeprägter alopecia, der immer perücken trägt und große angst davor hat, dass das an die öffentlichkeit kommt.

fandom: harry potter
hier würde ich sehr gerne mal etwas zur w.a.d.a. (wizard academy of dramatic arts) machen. in dem fall ist die idee jedoch weniger ein oc-konzept, als eines für eine ganze story. mehr kann und will ich aber noch nicht verraten, zumal ich nicht weiß, ob aus dem projekt überhaupt mal irgendetwas wird. ansonsten sind es im harry potter bereich eher die mmff-settings und die faceclaims, die mich auf ideen bringen. nutzen würde ich sehr gerne mal das fc ‚berta castane‘. sie gibt mir so schön abgehobene vibes und ich hätte richtig lust, mal einen charakter zu basteln, der wirklich so ist und nicht nur eine mauer aufgebaut hat, um sein inneres zu schützen.

---

abgesehen von den beiden fandoms treibe ich mich leider vor allem in welchen rum, in denen gerade absolut nichts passiert, daher wars das wohl erstmal. danke für die frage, die war echt cool! 💕

Hey, Juiz. You're right- it's been years. A lot has changed. I moved out of my house- things have been harder since, but nothing I can't handle. I've become a much better cook, since I cook for myself daily. I work, currently a bit tight on bills but that should alleviate soon. I travel often across the region. I work out at my local gym. Combine that with a job that's undoubtedly physically demanding, and you have a common occurrence of soreness. But like I said, nothing I can't handle.

Entered college alone with a dream- left college alone with a shattered spirit. I took a gap year to reflect and build myself back up again. I've been through a lot of trauma with my mental illnesses contributing to my mistakes and failures.

Six months ago, I also left behind everyone precious to me. I also blew up a diary that lasted 1400 days filled with trauma. I guess it was an explosion of a decision due to being abandoned by too many people... maybe I decided to cope with the pain by leaving first. But at that point, I was well aware of what it was like to lose people. Once you lose them, there's no apologizing and going back. People don't work that way. Forgiveness cannot be expected. And that's a consequence I was determined enough to make because I knew it was something I needed to do for my own sake. Those that truly cared somehow found a way back to me. Told me the relevance I had in their lives. People that care that much deserve a place to hold dear.

Loneliness isn't something you can just brush aside. It's deadly in lethal quantities, no matter how hard you fight. The only medicine is support, something I didn't have enough of. So, I vowed to become a stronger person, bettering myself since my downfalls. I'm ready to fight again against my traumas and chase my dreams in a different manner. I'm hoping to get into martial arts soon to further my discipline as well as learn to properly defend those I love. I have a beautiful girlfriend now. Four years older than me, but the sweetest and she works hard. She truly made me understand that one of my past relationships I hailed as glorious was nothing more than an illusion due to never being shown better with actions, not words. I remember hearing, from my ex, "Find a woman that will treat you better." Things like that, you remember forever. To the one I love- thank you, Kei. For being the most supportive person in my life and believing in me.

I go back to college soon. This September. The thought of not being good enough has been at the core of what fuels my depression and anxiety. But no one knows the story. Neither do they care. It's all about the results. The difference between then and now is that I have someone that truly believes in me.

How am I? I'm great. 7/10. Sore. Suffering from allergies. Maybe I've changed. I couldn't tell you. Only those that knew me long ago could. Thanks again for allowing me to use your SoulWorker account. Your kindness wasn't forgotten.

Azok, amelyek egy embercsoportot veszélyesnek állítanak be. A gyűlöletnél csak a félelem késztet jobban aggresszióra.

Ilyen például az a sztereotípia, hogy a borderlineosok abuzívak. És az a rettenetes, hogy ezt sokáig én is elhittem. Hogy borderlineos vagy, akkor muszáj begyógyszerezni, és bezárni, hogy ne árts a környezetednek. Skizofrénia dettó.
Aztán pszichoterápiás központban találkoztam borderlineosokkal. És iszonyatosan nehéz sorsú emberek. És nagyon, nagyon küzdenek a felszínen maradásért. És a betegségük, a traumájuk nem teszi őket rossz emberré. És a borderline tünetei épp annyira teszik bántalmazás könnyeb célpontjává őket, mint amennyire felnagyítják az ő abuzív tendenciáikat.
TikTokon találtam egy skizofrén srác csatornáját. Nagyon érdekes, amit mond. Nem szed antipszichotikumot, de ha egy egészségügyi közegben megtudják, hogy skizofrén azonnal bele akarják diktálni. Pedig teljesen jól funkcionál nélkülük is. Eltartja magát, alkot, és a családja is jobban értékeli társaságát antipszichotikum nélkül. Ha valaha a skizofrénia miatt ártott valakinek, az ő maga volt.
Amennyire pár videó alapján el lehet dönteni, kedves, jó embernek tűnik. Nem veszélyforrásnak.

De veszélyforrásként kezelik. "Hatástalanítani" akarják, nem megérteni. És ez rémisztő.

Wo log bhi insaan hain I'm not defending their toxic traits, I'm just saying k kya kia jaye phir? Ghar se nikal dain unko? Ya zaleel krna shuru kr dain unko k you have no emotional intelligence etc? They were raised in different times ofcourse unke views hum se different hon ge. Kafi jagah apko stand lena bhi parta hai unke samne lekin generally speaking maine tou yehi dekha hai k aadhe se ziada ronay awam un baton pe dalti hai jo k totally justified hain parents ki taraf se. "Marzi ki degree nai krne di" han achi baat tou nai hai par they know k baad main arts ki degree k sath kya guarantee hai k financial stability aa jaye gi? They don't wanna see you jobless and out on the streets etc. "Fashion nahi krne dia pasand ka" this is so common lekin bhai unho ne ghalat kya kaha hai? If my parents tell me k meri shalwar takhno se uppar honi chahiye tou even though that's not how I roll ya whatever, I can't say k unki baat ghalat hai. I remember this girl jis ki amma ne usay kaha k tum uni jate huay apne kapre dekha kro kis qisam k pehanti ho (she didn't show skin but wore tight af clothes) and she kept crying about it k meri amma mujhe slutshame kr rahi hain

Bubbles, coloring books, arts and crafts, playgrounds, baths, blanket forts, board games, finding four leaf clovers, lucky pennies. Most things honestly.
Playing on my gameboy while in comfy pajamas as the sun rises in the morning. It’s a nice start to the day.
The original Nintendo Entertainment System. The mario brothers series, zelda, bubble bobble, mega man 1-6, blades of steel, teenage mutant ninja turtles, the contra series, donkey Kong series, mike Tyson's punchout, and many many other oldies
Super Nintendo, I don't know why just that one, but I play it all the time. Even getting more teary eyed as Ibeat games like Lufia again and again through life.
Lamb chops. Back in the day, these were cheap, and my family would have them often for dinner (loin chops, that is, not forequarter). I love them, both because lamb is delicious, and because it gives me warm fuzzies thinking about my dad cooking loin chops for us.
Polish sausage, mashed potatoes, amd cabbage with carrots. My mom was good at cooking the cabbage and carrots just right; they had a just-cooked velvety bite with no mushyness and so much flavor. I've never been able to replicate it.
Spaghetti-o's with meatballs. Served at approximately 50% the temperature of the surface of the sun. Improves my mood in a way that nothing else can besides a heroic dose of THC. Which only inevitably leads back to Spaghetti-o's. Vicious cycle.
i loved sweets as a kid (not really candy or soda actually, but i have always loved chocolate, any kinds of cupcakes or cakes, ice cream, cheesecake, brownies, tarts, really any desserts haha) and i'm in my early 20s now and i have even more of a sweet tooth than i did as a kid! does anyone know if maybe my love of sugar will decrease as i get older...? i sure hope so lol.
Honestly, candy. I never really lost my taste for super sweet things, although I don't drink soda anymore. I often have to force myself not to buy it every week at the grocery store because I just don't have any self control when it comes to sweets.
