(small side note; anywhere in this form it says "i," it means it is me talking. as a chronic sufferer of anxiety myself, and currently enrolled in DBT therapy, I decided to use my form to spread awareness and promote healthy coping mechanisms as much as i could. if anyone would like more information about anything listed in this form, feel free to contact me! i would be happy to share as much knowledge as i can.

zain has been a chronic sufferer of anxiety since he was 8 years old. when he was 15, his anxiety hit its height, and he couldn't function in day-to-day life without frequent panic attacks. at their wit's end, zain's parents enrolled him in therapy, where he learned skills to cope with his anxiety, depression, and issues in interacting with others. the skill below is one he frequently uses during particularly emotional or stressful panic attacks.

Taken from the therapy practice of DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the TIPP method is a real skill I have learned in therapy to cope when going through extreme stress. If you feel an anxiety attack coming on, TIPP skills can be useful to combat those extreme emotions before a bad impulse is acted upon. Zain uses these to cope with his panic attacks!

P:

Paired Muscle Relaxation

Go through each
major muscle group,
and tense that muscle
for 5 seconds while
breathing in. Then,
upon breathing out,
relax the muscle while
thinking "relax" to
yourself. The more
time you have, the
more specific muscle
groups you can go
through.

T:

Temperature Change

Take cold water (no
cooler than 50
degrees Fahrenheit,
and dunk your face
in it for about 30
seconds. Come up
for air if you must.
This dunking triggers
the Dive Reflex
in humans, which calms
your body and stops
blood from rushing
through your veins
and sends it only to
essential organs.
When I tried it, my
heart rate went from
120 to 75!

P:

Paced Breathing

Relax yourself by
taking timed breaths.
For example, 4
seconds in, and 8
seconds out. Breathe
out slower than
you breathe in.

I:

Intense Exercise

Rapid cardio or
brief intense
exercise leads
to increased
oxygen levels
in the blood,
and decreased
stress. It also
can cause
a release of
endorphins,
neurotransmitters
associated with
happiness and
stress relief.

i am not a doctor, nor do i claim to be. consult a healthcare professional before trying these skills; however, as a disclaimer, these are real skills i have learned in therapy to deal with extreme emotions and anxiety. for more information on DBT and the TIPP skill specifically, go here. as a small extra, here is one of my favorite soothing gifs, which helps me to just watch if i'm ever feeling anxious: calming cat!

anx·i·e·ty
aNGˈzīədē/Submit
noun
a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.
"he felt a surge of anxiety"
---
"Hello. I'm Marki Nyugen, and I suffer from Anxiety and some symptoms of depression. This includes massive moodswings,
crying constantly, insomnia, and so much more. I have so many things that cause these things
and I refuse to state them. I can't state them only because I know every reaction I will get
from the person I will tell it to. It sucks, I just wish all of my problems were solved. And man I wish
I could just tell somebody about what I go through mentally everyday."
Marki Nyugen
---
"The way I deal with anxiety is going to school. Yes. Believe it or not. I go there and I love to be
greeted by all the support I have there. From both teachers and friends. No I don't tell them
what's going on with me at home or mentally, but they always seem to make me laugh and smile
and I don't do that a lot at home, my brain would actually tell me to stop if I get too happy or
excited about something that I'm doing. Somedays when I go to school sad I get cheered up by everyone
around me. Somedays, the words of my friends doen't stop me from letting all my sadness out from my eyes. But
I just want to say a huge thanks to all the people that bring up a very rare emotion upon my face when
entering a supposedly-stressful area. Thank you! I really wish I had something like this at home, or other
places I go to. And might I say, summer break is coming too soon, and sooner or later, I won't have a happy place.
So I will enjoy it while it last."

Karu is always stressed about anything. Oh no! I have to go to school tomorrow! Oh no! What if I bforget my homework? He deals with this, not in a normal way through, he swims. Probably the only time you'll seen a genuine smile on his silly face is when he swims, it doesn't matter where, the ocean, the sea, a public pool, a lake, a river, a plastic backyard pool as long as he's swimming he has bliss. He's a amazing swimmer and astounds his friends with how long he can breathe under water.
Ahhhhhh!!!!! I love this Kal so much!!!!!!

how they deal with anxiety:
Flickering along with her heartbeat, dripping, melting like she felt from her forehead. Eyes obscured by hair, she brushed the white mop aside, red and bright against the darkness such as what she admired as a masterpiece. Stung by bellowing smoke, they grew redder, filling her lungs as it did the room, spilling from her nostrils as it did the windows. Like a masterpiece, each a flame a stroke of paint, hung upon the whitewashed wall of a gallery, clean as a contrast to the rotten wood revealed under floral wallpaper peeling which was the backdrop of her artwork. But more beautiful, she thought, never one for such fine things, but nothing was more so than this. A grin, wide and no less wild than the now growing destruction spread across her muzzle. Floorboards creaked under her step as it now lapped at her feet, and she fled out the door.
High-pitched and whirring was a sound in the distance, flickering lights over the houses red like those expanding into the night above. Savouring them for the last time, the structure wilting beneath it's strength. Against the road her shoes beat the concrete in time of her heart against her chest, pounding now, anxiety once again rearing its ugly head, like the ugly little heads she felt peering from the glass surrounding her. 'See you again tomorrow my love' came the whisper, and the smile returned. Jumping the fence, trample the garden, and she obscured herself in dim moonlight.

how they deal with anxiety [500 word limit]:
Lucid has always enjoyed the forest, often going into the forest near her home and sitting by the lake and just listening, escaping anything that makes her anxious. Eventually Lucid brought a camera to the lake, taking a picture of it calling “My Paradise”

Lucid eventually started writing a story where her main character escapes to a place called “Her Paradise” directly relating to her first picture of the lake she often escapes to write her story, Lucid though keeps the story to herself until of course, she has the desire to finish it since she only ever writes it at the lake.

This is Lucid’s favourite part of her story:

Lucas paused and looked back, there was no door, he had come through a door he was sure of that. Upon turning around he was met with an absolutely beautiful utopian city on the horizon when he got closer to the city he read the name of it out loud. “Her Paradise?” he muttered and looked up upon being greeted by someone he could only describe as a robot. “Greetings, do you wish to join Her Paradise?” the robot asked in a soft yet masculine voice. “Uh, I guess? I have nowhere else to go. Who are you anyway?” Lucas asked. “I am 0U-M4, but Ouma is fine. I was made to greet anyone who wishes to join Her Paradise” The robot, Ouma, explained and Lucas looked up at the seemingly glowing city. “Who might you be?” Ouma asked which caught Lucas’ attention. “O-oh! Sorry, I’m Lucas but usually, people call me Luke” He explained, earning a nod from the robot. “Welcome to her Paradise, Lucas”
