Last year when i had rough time i figured out how i can ease my anxiety about some stuff. It's totally weird and actually works. What i did was very simply just say to myself in my head that a thing didn't really happen or something like that over and over again. Eh... Bad explaining.. I mean when i got anxiety about something, if i kept saying it didn't really happen long enough the feeling would go away far out!

I can give a little very stupid example cuz i sort of went a little crazy with this new possibility Okay this is sooo stupid... well, i had come up with The Perfect name for my dog a long time ago, i was gonna get a puppy in the fall. Well my were talking about dogs with my friend and she got to mention that someone had a dog name like that, MY PERFECT SPECIAL NAME!! well i got to "mantraing" myself about that ...hehehee... worked perfectly. I wasn't sure anymore was it true or just a dream my perfect unique name saved.

Later i told another friend of mine about this insident which was obviously a mistake, by bringing it up so altogether kinda breaked my bubble, it felt like coming down from high. That kind of whooooosh -feeling

Well, i'm sort of still not intirely sure was it a dream or not but this is the only thing i have "breaked the bubble" from so the only one i can tell

I worked that with my mom too as in said to myself she doesn't exist, and even i still KNOW she exists, i don't have any feelings about it. So cool ...i don't really remember anything from the summer though so it's apparently not to be used carelessly
