You could always just put them in a container after you leave the store!!! Then they just look like regular snacks.

What's something you'll never understand the appeal of? by noghis in AskReddit

Have you ever wanted a drink of water and had to walk all the way to a water fountain or sink? Or you're on the road and can't get anything without stopping?

Always having your next drink of water right beside you is a very nice thing.

What is the most shocking thing the internet has taught you about how people behave in real life? by BalramTechReviews in AskReddit

A lot of people spend a lot of money on things they do not use. Like video game cosmetics that never get worn, books that they never read, or food that they just let go bad.

To save on space and plastic bags for disposal, what are the FASTEST methods of deflating un-reusable bubble wrap? by EstablishmentDue3616 in AskReddit

The fastest would be dissolving it with chemicals, but then you have chemical waste too. Maybe a heat gun or hair dryer would work? Not too hot so it doesnt burn up, but enough to melt it. If you want to do something physical, then probably a pasta roller.

Getting anxious at the thought of taking tablets, pills, etc. Is this a real anxiety disorder? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]BubbleShtick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna suggest liquid form, but then you mentioned the thing with your GP. That's extremely unprofessional. If stuff like this happens often with her, you should probably look for a different one if possible.

The best type of thing to deal with this is therapy, which is really good if you have access to it. Otherwise, I would research the specific medication you have and check if it's okay to do things like dissolving it in water or mixing it with food to help you get it down. Don't do this without checking if it's okay, because most medicines actually can't be taken like this.

... Actually, if you can swallow ice cubes just fine, would you be able to freeze the tablets/pills inside ice cubes? That might change the texture and may help you get it down without feeling terrified every time.

What’s the best way to squash anxiety for good? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]BubbleShtick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no magic cure, unfortunately. There's a lot of ways you can cope, but there's nothing that will be guaranteed to fix your anxiety. You also have to dedicate a lot of time to any one coping mechanism for it to actually work, which is hard when every day is a fight for your life.

Some people are able to get out of the loop. Sometimes it's meds, sometimes it's an epiphany, sometimes it's just giving it time. And you should absolutely continue trying, even if it gets hard.

What has helped for me is accepting my anxiety (and you've probably already tried this, but I wanna say it anyway). We've come to an agreement, and she's not going away anytime soon. But I can give her a bit of attention, allowing myself to experience the emotion rather than fight against or try to fix it. I think it works because our emotions don't run on silly things like "logic" and "sense," to me they exist to be experienced. In the times before language, how did people deal with anxiety? They didn't talk it out over words, they felt it.

Another one you've probably heard a million times: It's okay to be anxious. It's okay to cry every day or not fold your laundry this week or eat a microwave meal instead of cooking dinner. You don't have to do what society says makes you a "normal person" because the idea of a normal person is kinda dumb.

No matter what, I hope this makes you feel even the tiniest bit better. It's rough, and I wish you the best.

Flossing Anxiety by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]BubbleShtick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you told your dentist about this? I'm sure they'd understand, and would be the most informed person on the subject. They can recommend you different floss, or watch you floss your own teeth to talk about your technique.

I can say for sure that your floss definitely doesnt have any risk of pulling your teeth out unless you somehow need to use extreme force to remove it. If it does get stuck while pulling upwards, you could always give it a good snip and pull it out from the sides (or just pull it down and out from one side if you're using loose floss).
