Puppy Time posted:Yup, us anxiety sufferers need a caretaker to do poo poo for us. It's just outside our ability to develop coping skills to learn to be functional adults who can use a telephone or go on our own to new places. If you develop coping skills you will realize you can do better than a tumblr enabler. Edit: Dr_Amazing posted:You know that anxiety isn't just feeling kind of worried right? It's an actual disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_anxiety_disorder You know responding like that person suggests is contraindicated in treating that disorder, right?

I don't get the food one. I mean, I am an anxiety-ridden fool with the meds to prove it, but I can't say I've ever had trouble ordering my own drat food. If it's about being anxious that you won't like it or paralyzed with indecision,. wouldn't you just fall into a pattern of ordering the same thing everywhere rather than let your significant other control what you eat like a creep?

Dr_Amazing posted:You know that anxiety isn't just feeling kind of worried right? It's an actual disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_anxiety_disorder Yes, I am well aware of anxiety since I used to be crippled by it when I was a teenager. That list of steps to take is not a way to help, but a way to coddle someone who wants to use it as an excuse instead of getting better.

The funniest part of the latest LoB "character" (for want of a better word) is that now there is a lesbian couple in Gunnerkrigg Court. Kat has been seeing Paz (I think: The eastern-European girl) for a few months now as they bond over Kat's biotech breakthroughs.

I think it's asking someone for something. You can go into almost any store, pick out what you want, pay, and leave without saying a word except for restaurants. And who knows, maybe they'll ask you what side you want or how you want your meat cooked and holyshittheybroughedietcokeinsteadofregulardotheythinkimfat.

I prefer having someone else do the ordering (or just doing it online) because it involves talking on the phone, which combines all the regular terror of social interaction with a lack of nonverbal cues and sometimes difficulty making things out properly. These are, at least to my lovely, lovely brain, on par with sticking my hand in a bag full of spiders in terms of things to fear, so it makes normal interaction difficult, since I'm having to suppress the adrenaline coming from my brain insisting that we're about to get killed. (I am currently procrastinating on some phone calls for this reason.) Unless they mean doing the ordering in person as well, which... I guess could also be a social anxiety thing, but I've never really had it, and I don't know anyone who does. Either way, it's just a terrible idea to refuse to even try doing it yourself, since you're just encouraging the broken bits. ETA: I think ^^^ has it. I forgot about how terrifying it is to ask for waitstaff to fix an error, since, y'know, OBVIOUSLY they are personally invested in the food delivery and will be immediately upset. Basically my broken brain assumes that reality functions like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwZaqZaRe78 Puppy Time has a new favorite as of 22:49 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Nah, man, it's pretty accurate on a few of them, at least in terms of "I feel the urge to do this poo poo but I don't because I recognize it's my mental illness." Unless you're talking like major level "can't function in society" anxiety.

I like LoB's posts because I always imagine it as if there were two people having a conversation about some random topic and then this other dude just walks up to them and starts going off on some long rant about minorities. Even though it's a really simple gimmick, I find something about the "reply to someone's quote with an unrelated racist diatribe" format really funny.

There is a large overlap between people that cry about Europe's Sharia districts where "police won't go" and the people that demand public executions, amputations for theft, eye for an eye type justice. And I'm not just talking about the US, either. I see it a lot amongst relatives and former/old friends in Germany.

Grey Fox posted:Trump did not go bankrupt personally, but several of his businesses have. He talks at length about how he abused the system to come out ahead in those instances (somewhat dubious claim since he's generally a blowhard, but not impossible), while conveniently making no mention of anyone else impacted by his inability to sustain the businesses. I swear I remember seeing some old CBS or PBS documentary about him from before he got into politics where he admitted to actually being in relatively (for him) bad personal finances for a bit during his first major bankruptcy. Like actually having to stick to a budget, the horror. Also about how his dad walked into one of his casinos, bought a few million in chips, then walked right back out without playing a game to try to "creatively" bail him out, once.

Wow, I've recovered from severe anxiety and that list is pretty accurate. I don't think it's ideal to be dating if you're that bad. How can anxiety be trendy? Ugh. It just makes you look bad. By being so shy you actually stand out more and make people wonder what's wrong with you. There's nothing cool about it.

It gives people a way to absolve themselves of lovely personality traits and refuse to change. "Well I have anxiety, I can't help it! You're the jerk for not tolerating my bad behavior." Well if you're literally incapable of helping it then you need to go get help. Seriously.

So that's cool and trendy. A guy brought his anxiety service dog to the building cafeteria a few months ago. Nothing unusual there except it was a German Shepard, which is fine for a seeing eye dog but pretty big for an anxiety animal. What happens when your anxiety animal triggers someone else's anxiety? Who wins that trophy?

I mentioned it in the food thread I think but a while back I was in a restaurant and they let a family bring their service pug in and walk all over the table they were sitting at. It didn't act very well trained so I kind of doubt it was a service animal.
