    Hey, it’s a list of my ex husbands favorite tips and tricks!

    Did you know that “square breathing” exercises are not helpful when someone’s yelling at you to do them?

      I’m sorry to hear about your bastard ex husband. The only thing that’s really helped my anxiety is drugs. I’m guessing you’ve tried that though. Square breathing never really worked for me. Hope things are better now.

    I have ADD, and my partner has GAD. I always feel bad about the pacing. 90% of the time, I’ve lost my train of thought/ something. I noticed if I say, “I’m fine; I’m just looking for something.”, it helps a lot. She describes them as “frantic footsteps”. I can understand why that would freak people out.

      Gaslighting? I’m pretty sure the term you’re looking for is gaslamping. Don’t worry, it’s a pretty common mistake for people to make.

        Oh my god! I can’t believe OP mistook gaslighting for gaslamping… I thought that that was one of those mistakes nobody does anymore.

        are you sure it’s gaslamping? last i heard gaslamping is a term for when you start making random shit into gas lamps for no particular reason, seems to be a weird anomalous quality of certain post industrialized human societies.

      There’s no such thing as gaslighting. You’re making it up because you’re paranoid that everyone’s out to get you.

        Are you gaslighting me into thinking no one is ever gone gaslight me so it’s easier for your co conspirator to gaslight me in the future? I’m not making things up! People are up against me and your comment is proof!

      That’s because the real term is gas-lamping, not gas-lighting. The term was invented around the Victorian period where the primary source of lighting were gas-lamps.
