Any special order pins? Considering some kind of birthday gift for a friend.

That gave me a scare. Holy. D:

... the "how can you not know?" Considering how many men that seem so ashamed of masturbation, or so hard set in their ways of breaking their own sexual boundaries (like choosing to masturbate when they feel that don't really want to), that they idolize not masturbating, it warrants more attention.

I feel like men's health is seriously underexplored. The few times I've asked for literature there's been like... tops one semi-real suggestion. There is a TON for women, and that's great. But... I crave more books on sexual pleasure for men. Not the "go online and just jerk it" or...

By that I mean: They ignore feeling scared or anxious, they force themselves to do it by projecting it onto somebody else in a fantasy. Or perhaps they just jerk it in stress.

How many men actually allow themselves to slow down? To be sensual with themselves? Does this influence other interactions?

Hmm... unclear. Do you mean like Google Scholar and the like?

AI research inflation causing it? Not to familiar with what "capture" means though so I could be wildly off. Is it the time from sending in and through publishing?

#mentalhealth #panicattack #lookingforsupport

I feel like it would be a bit much to come to others to ask for support all the time, but a phone call or occasional support might be good?

I’m scared of being a big emotional burden, I’ve put myself through others’ problems a lot and know it can be overwhelming without proper boundaries.

I think I might have thought about this before but just never tried to approach it as one. I’ve just kinds approached it as stated of fear.

Does any of this sound familiar? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something like this and what you did to support yourself?

These episodes last minutes to maybe an hour. I haven’t timed them because I always just push through.

I used to assume panic attacks are always overt—crying, hyperventilating. But I’ve heard of “limited symptom” attacks. I don't know anyone personally though.

I internalize everything—I’m not the type to cry or reach out during moments like these. Or rather, at least, it’s not a habit to do so.

Once I stood in a corner at a university club for a "while" just trying to look normal while I tried to not completely freak out in public.

It can come when I’m playing music, hanging out with people, playing games. I believe I may be able to trace it to fear of the moments themselves and of getting caught up in fear of things that can go wrong in ways of A, B or C.

But it’s not connected to the real world situation I’m in.

Pressure on my chest, my head feels “off”—tingly, racing, disoriented. Thoughts scatter, hard to focus.

I have real trouble calming down when it hits.

I can see why she's her favorite human. So much care and softness. <3

*It was.

Plz, my brain.

Looks neat, I'll give it a go!

I'll have to collect my mixer from my friend. That sounds neat tho, and a specific recipe is extra fun (I enjoy personal suggestions). :3
