I am free and that is why I am lost - Franz Kafka
I’ve been meaning to make a masterpost with a list of books and articles for people interested in the Italian Renaissance - so, behold! These are taken mostly from my own bookshelf, syllabi of classes I’ve taken, and bibliographies I’ve compiled for papers I’ve written. I’ve tried to provide a broader overview of the Renaissance with more general topics, and not to give books that are too incredibly specific and not relevant unless you’re working specifically in topic. I’ve also tried to find PDFs or links for anything that you can access online.
I hope this is useful for anyone who’s interested in this period, and I will always be happy to answer questions or try to provide sources for more specific topics!

Ways to deal with anxiety or panic/anxiety attacks a guide by yours truly, Kleo
Breathing
This may sound weird but proper breathing can be super helpful. Sometimes we aren't breathing the way we are supposed to due to anxiety.
you can focus on whichever gif feels right for you :)
2. The grounding method
This is what usually helps with panic attacks but can also help with anxiety attacks :)
take a deep breath and look around the place you're in.
Then either write,say it aloud or just in your head
5 things you can see
4 things you can feel/touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
It helps distract your brain but if it doesn't work try playing a game or talk with your friends/family
3. Safe place (it would help if you had someone read it to you the 1st time or put it on google translate and it can say it to you)
If you're home lay down on your bed, if you're somewhere else sit comfortably on chair and close your eyes. Imagine you're not here anymore, you're somewhere where you feel safe and secure. What do you see? There are animals around, they love you and they care about you, you mean a lot to them. What kind of animals are around? There is a form of water there. What form is it? You're at peace there, nothing can hurt you. You feel happier. Someone says hello. Who is it? The wind is calming and sweet. Your favourite smell lingers in the air and you know that you will be okay. Stay there as long as you need.

I hope this helps :) drink water and stay safe everyone ily<33
these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die; like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume.
