I have the favorites thing too. My daughter has Jesse McCartney, game sites, teenage stuff in her favs. I have TMJ sites, panic/anxiety sites. With the amount of time I spend on the internet, looking up every little eye twitch I get, I could almost practice medicine......
LOL @ the TV show one.......I can't watch The Amazing Race anymore because I get so anxious watching it......& yeah I carry aspirin with me all the time......you never know
Some of these answers are so amazing. Especially the one about spilling the slurpee.
You know you have panic disorder when....
- You've learned to deal with being in public by limiting your panic to periodic facial twitches.
- No matter how well you know your boyfriend, you'll never be comfortable sleeping over at his house.
- You've gotten so used to being freaked out that now when people look at you too long, you just get ******.
- Once your klonopin count hits 30 pills, you start brainstorming ways to get more.
- You've read so many panic disorder books that nothing anyone says will ever surprise you and you have a symptom checklist, in case anyone around you needs diagnosing
- When your sister comes down with an anxiety disorder, you offer your comfort via personally-compiled anxiety disorder booklist
- If your roommate steps so much as an inch inside your doorway, you jump out of bed in fear...which soon enough changes to embarassment.
