An acquaintance of mine pretty much spot on with this take on the whole Iran thing:

I really really really don't get when people are like "fuck your self care, (important thing) is happening." Like, what do you think it means? It doesn't mean don't ever do anything, just be selfish. It means take care of yourself.
You literally can't do anything for any length of time unless you take care of yourself. You gotta care more about yourself than the people who exploit us.

fuck it.
all first person shooters should have unlimited firearm ammo
unless it is a stealth or tactical shooter FPS where teeny tiny little magazines and clip sizes are a part of the rules of the game
but yeah, HΞ»lf-Life, RAGE, BioShock, hell even Halo and Tribes should all at /least/ have official modes where everyone has unlimited ammo, provided you can possess the weapon
i think Tribes definitely allows you set the server settings to unlimited ammo, because Tribes is pure pwnage, but you get my point -
this is a piece of software, not a gun club, etc - you're not actually ''good'' at a game if you only shoot small amounts of bullets
(ffs, even Destiny - /especially/ Destiny!!)

"I use Linux as my operating system," I stated proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swiveled around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually," he said with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!" I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk: "I use Abyss, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but not GNU+Linux."
The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body began convulsing, he foamed at the mouth, and he dropped to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhed around he screamed, "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" In a cool fashion, I replied "Abyss uses the LLVM compiler suite, GCC uninvolved."
With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life was ejected from his body. He lied on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Thankfully, I seem to have a small hint from the two times these sorts of attacks have happened: confrontation in a high-stress situation. It's fight, flight, or freeze, but my brain has frozen wanting to flee, and my body's taken control and decided to fight. That's not the best way of describing it, but it's kinda along the lines of what's happening.
mh
So, now this gives me a new way of looking at it, and of dealing with it. Trying to treat anger is just treating a *symptom*. I actually need to be dealing with anxiety.
Of course, not all anger is anxiety, and sometimes it does need to be treated as anger without underlying anxiety. So, I suppose the next challenge, along with figuring out coping strategies, is learning the difference.
mh
For those unaware, the anger-assault cycle isn't so much a cycle as it is the path anger takes: Trigger->escalation->crisis->recovery->post-crisis. The odd things about those panic attacks were that they seemed to skip recovery, which should normally take *at least* 45 minutes. Analyzing it as anxiety means there's not recovery phase that's getting skipped. I'm just falling out of a panic attack. Well, crashing out, as it were, but still.
mh
Today I learned that panic attacks can take more than one form. Sure, I have the kind where my brain shuts down and I kinda just start crying, but I've also got another, more subtle kind. I can also fall into a panic attack that looks very much similar to flying off the handle in anger. So, until today, I'd treated that (thankfully rare) occurrence as anger, when I should have been trying to calm anxiety. It also kinda explains why those times didn't quite follow the anger-assault cycle.
