Worried about ending up in jail because

of a mistake Amazon did

Stillhuman · Jun 21, 2023 at 09:03 AM

Struggling with something. I guess a fear of loneliness and loss, and a loss of relationships. Feeling stuck. Not in control of my environment. Not really safe.

Signs of the big move are everywhere now.

They’re even having a ‘farewell to the old studio’ episode on Monday and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to watch it without crying - or even if I’m going to be able to watch it at all.

My saving graces, if you will, are that Drew isn’t leaving and that he doesn’t like the move any more than I do, but I’m still scared. What if he changes his mind about leaving after the move?

Honestly, I wish I could talk to Drew about this.

Have a lot of intrusive thoughts when I'm anxious like "I'm never going to get better" and "This will never end" and I think of all of the doctors/nurses over the years who snubbed me when I told them I was anxious.

I understand how you feel

because I feel the same way

Confusing people….

The above isn’t about anyone here

I struggle with feeling anxious in basic settings. I'm impressed with people who don't have anxiety who go to work and deal with situations. Basic social settings freak me out. I wish I wasn't like this

hiddenaway · Jun 26, 2023 at 11:21 AM

I’m so not ready for today’s episode.

I know I can just watch old ones on YouTube and/or Pluto if I need to but it hasn’t been doing much to help so far.

Nor does it help that I’ve had a couple of nightmares where Drew decides to leave the show after the move. My brain knows he’s not going anywhere but my anxiety doesn’t.

I feel kind of like I had a breakthrough this weekend. I just said **** it, and took some days off. It worked well. Still have a job. still haven't entirely lost my mind.

Sometimes we

need a day off

Guess what. I’m not out of the woods yet in terms of the big move.

Now there’s going to be a primetime ‘farewell to the old studio’ episode in a few weeks as well as the one that aired on Monday. I’m going to watch, but only once cause I don’t need to give myself more anxiety.

Amazing

I should be asleep (or at least laying down) but there’s a ginormous insect in my room and I’m scared. It’s also flying too fast and high for me to get rid of it.

Oh, and to me, anything bigger than a fly is ginormous - and whatever this is is bigger than a fly.

I'm PHOBIC of any insect, especially the flying kind since they are harder to get out of one's house or apartment.

Gosh I guess I get the panic from my mom who used to panic if anything got in the house. One time I had a giant moth in here and I was scared of it, even though they don't sting like bees.

And the bigger they are the more freaked I am. Those big black beetles or dragonflies send me running!

Coping well, and chipping away at inner obstacles; inner obstacles etched into my very mind. Half way through year now and far better off than at start of year. Half of it is about accepting my reality and the other half is about managing it and encouraging inner growth. Best yet to come, I can see it. Thank you.

Buffy01 · Jul 02, 2023 at 02:23 PM

I’m terrified of

thunderstorms

and winter storms

I hear you on dragonflies and raise you preying mantises and skeeter eaters. Both of those things are terrifying.

Which is why insects are almost always in horror movies.

They are scary looking, even if harmless to us! And it's probably why aliens in sci-fi movies resemble large insects too.

One time a Daddy Long Legs was on the lid of a cereal container. I didn't notice at first but when I did, I started screaming and dropped the container.

That made the lid pop off and cereal spilled onto the floor. Thankfully it was dry cereal and not the hot, cooked kind. That would have been hard to clean up. Even though they are supposed to be mainly harmless, I'm more scared of spiders than anything I think.

Back to anxiety.......having those creatures around me make me anxious, especially since they outnumber us by a LOT.
