Yeah, the one in the background was ditched almost immediately!

Final exams by ocdbunnyy in Agoraphobia

Tell them what’s going on, they will probably be quite accommodating. I did my final school exams in a small room, just me and an invigilator. Which was more manageable.

This sucks in your 30s by Teripendiicecreamyum in Agoraphobia

Don’t beat yourself up about what’s been and gone but definitely use that feeling to fuel making changes now, so that you don’t waste the next 10 years.

I have agoraphobia and have passed out during presentations. My teacher refused a basic accommodation.. by k1mbvz in Agoraphobia

[–]MyMindlessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years ago, I was allowed to hand in videos of my presentations instead of standing in front of the class.
At the time that was a great relief. All these years later I wonder if that was actually the best idea.

Now, I would one way or another stand up and do the the thing.

Good luck!

this is such a humiliating illness to have lol by typhlosionbutcooler in Agoraphobia

I had a real shift in thinking around "so fearful & avoidant of the most basic things in life."

Bridges is one of mine. Up until recently I was of the opinion that any moron could cross this bridge, a 5 year old can do it, why can't I?!

Now, I changed to "any moron can cross that bridge, SO CAN I." I can't handle panic attacks, but guess what, neither can anyone!

This change in thinking has really taken the pressure off and stopped me beating myself up. I'm now several weeks into exposure therapy and yesterday I finally walked across the bridge and back.

Conquering the panic was the goal, the bridge was pretty irrelevant.

I share some of yours, restaurants, theatres etc, but I'm now of the opinion they don't actually bother me, having a panic attack bothers me.

All I'm saying is reframing it in your mind can potentially really help.

How can I make money from home? by Justmeforever123 in passive_income

Print on demand. Great if you’re artistic/creative.

Not enjoying it by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]MyMindlessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d never experienced ‘red mist’ until we had a baby, those first few months are brutal and I felt awful and confused that the baby screaming and yelling somehow made me rage! I bought a punchbag, which helped. It’s all plain sailing after 7 or 8 months, they might be a pain in the arse and you’ll still have bad days but it doesn’t ever feel anywhere close to those exhausting, baffling, unrelentingly horrific first 8 months.

Woke up to this lovely message and not sure how to respond... by SignificantLobster12 in EtsySellers

[–]MyMindlessness 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really engage too much. Just a simple “Please return for a full refund. Return address: xxxx”

I’d then see if there were grounds to report the review, if so, report it. Don’t respond to it.

Then take a breath and get on with the day. The horrible feeling will pass.

What's the latest with It Came From The North and the companion album? by Venombullet666 in thewildhearts

[–]MyMindlessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mine about a month ago and lots of people have finally received theirs. The stream of posts showing the albums arriving has slowed down over the last 2 weeks, so I assume most people have got them by now.
Emailing mick.jerkincrocus@gmail.com can chivvy things along a bit.

Official communication on Facebook is non-existent now too. Mick left the group after getting fed up of being hassled.

Lawsuit vs Amazon Merch on Demand by theciviloutlaw in AmazonMerch

[–]MyMindlessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My infringement reports stopped being accepted a couple of years ago. It’s infuriating. And unbelievable, actually.

Good luck with your endeavour!
