He knew a lot and I felt I couldn’t lie to him. I’ve lied to other clinicians because, honestly, I didn’t trust them. I was afraid they’d throw me in a hospital against my will again.

I personally think therapy can do good for everyone

Keywords: therapy

Sometimes you just need a person to listen and not bombard you with advice and opinions. It’s not a place where you get put in a room with bright white light and you get forced to speak. It’s a safe environment where you can open up without feeling harmed or judged.

Gaslighting by definition is an act of undermining a partners emotions and feelings in a way to deny their reality

By invalidating their feelings and emotions, the gaslightee is being told they are wrong. Gaslighting is most commonly seen in relationship dynamics as an attempt to control the moment. To stop the conflict. To ease the gaslighter’s anxiety, and to regain control in a degraded power struggle. Now before you gaslight me into calling me too sensitive, let me call attention to the fact disagreements, even arguments, are healthy in relationships. The difference between a healthy dynamic and an abusive one is hearing and validating the person’s concerns. If the person you are arguing with is deflecting responsibility in an attempt to tear down their partner, this is called gaslighting. Even better if the person being gaslit is a pleaser, trying to cater to other’s needs and expectations. I call this an easy mark. As an empath, I can often see my own responsibility in situations where I shouldn’t. I can EMPATHIZE with someone else’s reality and this can open the door to being taken advantage of, even gaslit.

I want to create a place that is safe and positive and where I can also share my knowledge and insight and maybe help someone else

My name is Angie and I am from a small town in Iowa. I was born and raised in the same town and have only live a little bit of my life in towns nearby. I am creating a place where I can share my journey on the road to healing and finding peace. I have lived with depression and anxiety most of my life and feel like it is time to share and help others with their journey.

Whenever I feel like I’ve lost control of everything around me, I start making poor choices that don’t help my mental health

Keywords: {0}

I don’t necessarily have control over my main trigger being my main trigger, but I do have control over what triggers my anxiety. The amount of caffeine I consume if and on a daily basis is the main one, the other is the surrounding/environmental factors. For example large group settings or get-togethers, grocery stores, malls, even driving. These are some surrounding/environmental factors that can trigger my anxiety depending on the circumstances.

My brain gets overwhelmed with too much information of different kinds to process

Keywords: tips and tricks , education , autism , reading

But it helps to reduce the overload by using captions (combining speech with visuals, thus reducing the number of information modalities) or watching something animated, which compresses the demands of visual and spatial information greatly.
