Taking deep breaths, having a glass of water, listening to music, writing, or meditating, etc. to help reduce stress or calm an anxiety attack isn't going to hurt anyone. Seeking help from and talking to people you trust probably won't hurt either.
All of those can very much hurt depending on the person. You really, really shouldn't project your own experiences onto everyone else.
If breathing hurts, go to the hospital immediately.
Breathing exercises aren't necessarily a problem because of them actually, physically hurting, but because those sorts of things can make your anxiety worse instead of better.
The fact that dealing with anxiety and finding strategies to overcome it are being more openly discussed and promoted is a really good thing.
That's not what the post was. It was prescribing a set of coping strategies onto complete strangers without consideration of their situation. It wasn't saying, "Hey, you should consider your situation and figure out a coping strategy that works for you". It was saying, "Do this".
That wasn't information on healthy coping mechanisms b/c actual information on healthy coping mechanisms would emphasize that a healthy coping mechanism isn't something which can be universalized but something that has to be tailored to you and give you ways to figure them out.
Yes. It's a bad tweet. It's not that deep, but it is still bad.
You're not actually responding to my arguments if you're presenting it as "This is neurotypical bullshit that won't help" since that's not what I argued.
