Selfie Beach Day☁️

Hello. My name is Nica. I want to stay anon until I get comfortable and I‘m not good with new people. But my question is, how do you advise someone to deal with their depression? Do you know any remedies that help with chronic sadness? Or panic attacks? My life isn‘t where I want it to be atm, dealing with a lot of stuff and I don‘t have any friends to talk to or get help from. Sorry if I‘m bothering you in the morning I just saw that you‘re leaving tumblr and it triggered an attack and I feel like crying. You were the one blog I liked and how you helped people and now I don‘t have anybody :/

Omg. No, no, no, you're not bothering me at all, & you're not just going to wake up one day & my account is going to be deactivated. I'll tell you all when I'm leaving & chances are I still won't deactivate, just cause. I'm so, so sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you. It was just an idea I had. I used to have really bad panic attacks to a point were my muscles would hurt for days, I had to be taken in an ambulance & put on meds cause I had them daily for like a month. I wouldn't eat, I was constantly snapping on people & irritated. I turned into someone who isn't me. My family noticed the change & pointed it out & I snapped on them for that. It was that bad. And this was recent, this wasn't like 5 years ago, all this happened LAST year. So I know from experience how difficult & painful what you're going through right now can be.

Even though I still have anxiety sometimes, I learned how to stop the attacks from happening, I don't have them anymore. But before then my doctor wanted to put me in a psych ward, (yeah, he literally recommended that) & I took Xanax (& Zoloft for two days) for a while, then it stopped helping, so he wanted to increase my dose. And I didn't want to become an addict or dependent on meds (I personally don't believe in taking meds for mental illnesses), so one day I just decided "fuck it, I'm not taking anything anymore" & I realized in that moment that the decision I made scared me a fucking lot cause I wasn't going to have anything to run to, but ultimately it was going to help me. I had to hurt & pray A LOT before I got better. While I was going through it I felt so hopeless & lost & I started questioning my faith in God cause I didn't feel like anything was changing, I felt worse tbh. I remember one night I just completely gave up & I drove to my mom's house in the middle of the night cause I didn't know what else to do. We went for a walk & talked until the sun came up. I never call my parents when I'm going through something terrible, I always try to resolve my problems on my own, so if I call them it's serious. But with time I got better. And I'm happier. So I'm living proof that you CAN overcome your biggest demons. My advice to you would be to start slow, you won't get better overnight. It's going to take time & it's going to hurt - I won't lie to you, but you WILL prevail in the end. But for now, distract yourself, get on your phone & find a funny video. Give yourself time to breathe & realize you're safe. That feeling will pass & you'll be okay again. & if you ever need someone to talk to to help you calm down, come hop in my dm's & we can hang out until you feel better. You don't have to be alone. & you definitely don't have to suffer alone. I often get people who ask me for advice in handling depression, that's partially the reason I haven't left Tumblr. I wouldn't want to abandon anybody. I'm so sorry you're going through this, honey. I hope things get better for you. Literally if you need me to just stay here for you just to help you, I will. & if you need any more resources in dealing with anxiety/depression, dm me. I'm so sorry for triggering you. I'll choose my words more carefully next time. Bless your heart, I'll pray for you.

I'm weak because it's like I read your reblogs or answers and you're mean but you're nice at the same time 😂

I'm not mean, and if I am mean to anyone then it's probably because they said something to me first to deserve the mean response or reaction they received. Simple. Hmph.

Lord help me, he so goddamn fine 🤤😂🖤💛

Those beautiful brown eyez, his hair, and that jawline, and his damn smile, that smile. He is so cute in dark green too. I really wanna see him in another movie as the psycho role. Who knew a killer could be so damn cute? 😍😍

You a terrible person :3

Do you think willy was ever bullied for his braces as a kid?

Braces are a terrible thing. No braces too.

I dropped out of school with 15, but I can remember myself gossiping over people with braces...

How do you come up with your financial planner/organization?

I organize percentages, range, demographic (that mostly being children), costs, income and do's and donuts (do nots), get it? Ahaha!

Ahem. Excuse the sloppy handwriting, I was in a rush. This is basically a short overview of the benefits to what's called "affiliate marketing." It's a pretty simple concept. For instance, you want an online store to sell your brand of candy. So you search out and find what's called an "affiliate network" and advertise your goodies to a seller, or an affiliate marketer. Should you be lucky enough to get someone interested in selling your shiz-na-ee, they would then set up a website or link to your line of candy. And every time you make a sell from their links or site, you both get paid. In other words, you have sustainable income, depending on how popular you are of course, and they pocket what's called a "commission", a sum of money earned through sales. You know how those greedy and money hungry YouTubers get paid a percentage by a sponsor just to shove a product down your cute little throat? Same thing, really. Unless you're the greedy YouTuber. But isn't that neat? You can still market your business right from your bedroom with ease. And in the times of Coronavirus where people can't physically go out to stores as much, this is my newest strategy, because I have to keep that revenue coming in! And the rest is pretty much the basic 101 stuff. Blah, blah, blah, economic decline, global panic, business thingy, you understand? Great! Loved your question, by the way!
