Lets face it, anxiety is weird. We panic over weird things. What I want to know (for the sheer reason of community and not feeling alone) is what is the weirdest thing you've had an anxiety or panic attack about. Mine was a menu that could be vaguely confusing, even though I understood it.

Sexual initiation. The PTSD about it has ruined my life.

being touched on the face by a flower

I'm alergic to wasps, and it really got me.. I had a panic attack that lasted forever- the voices in my head were screaming, I was totally breathless, I was frozen to the spot... it was horrible.

the person looked at me like I'd lost my ****ing mind and started shouting what are you doing?

it's a cute yellow flower, it's lovely!, but I think by that time they may as well be talking to the flower (they'd have got more of a response)

the other weirdest time was when I got diffrent shaped chips (fries)

of course I thought they'd not taste the same, they had poison in them, they had been cooked wrong, and their I went again! (that time I even got a really bad pain in my kneck), phantom pain that is

or that time I totally flipped over the factt I was missing my WWE wrestling and took to sending threatening messages to random people- give my wrestling to me, or else

only to find out 20 minits later that the wrestling that week was on a saturday, not a friday

embarrassed much?

and then I pannicked again because wrestling falls on fridays in england- not saturdays!

Silliest thing was I checked out of a nice hotel because they kept playing the same three songs on a sound track. Total meltdown.

Making dinner. And it wasn't that hard of a recipe. I just couldn't do it. Thankfully my husband did.

I've not used facebook for so long

part of me does want to go back all the time, because they have good mental health support groups on their.

but then again, facebook just depresses me.

so

You're missing nothing on Facebook. Its a useless waste of time. That's how I'm feeling right now anyways.

I refer to PC as “faceless book” and I like it much better!

I like minds.com. I call it "not facebook" because it is a truly uncensored site (except of course for illegal posts).

The anxiety of worrying I may slip on the ice and either look like an idiot or seriously hurt myself is unbearable. I have boot krampons to prevent this yet it is all that I think about when out of doors.

You too??? Yes fear of falling on ice and getting into accident in a bad slippery weather. Terribly anxious. My husband bought those things to put on my boots but for no reason I am not putting them on ugh

The weirdest feeling for me is being on a med that stops the physical symptoms of anxiety, and I feel great but when I have too much time to sit and think I start panicking in my mind and thinking omg maybe I'm dying because my heart isn't racing then I start breathing all weird. Basically panicking about not having a panic attack.

I have this thing about not wanting any family members and espeacially any of brothers to tickle me. The idea of it happening makes my skin crawl. I think that in part it is because of my knismolagnia so, tickling is something very personal to me and being put through a situation like that would feel like a form of molestation to me. I even had to word that last sentence a certain way on the count of these feelings.

Thought I was going to have a heart attack in a work meeting that included a room full of physicians. My heart was beating so fast I could see my shirt moving and I could hear it in my ears. My only thought was "Well, if I have a heart attack, I guess I'm in a good place to have it. "

I remember getting really nervous while making a smoothie one day, I have a super weird fear that the blender is going to explode when it turns on. I still quite haven't conquered that fear yet :/

Taking medicine for anxiety. When I was first given Vistaril I had an anxiety attack about taking it. My other weird one is being in a car. Right now my mind keeps telling me I am going to be an accident so I have pretty much refused to get in a car unless I absolutely have to.
