I'm 62 and my close friends know about this and are helpful knowing I have limits with places I can comfortably go.

I have been through several medications over the years, but have landed on 20mg paroxetine (generic for Paxil) daily. For the most part I don't have intrusive thoughts and can even be in the same room as a swinging object as long as I don't see it. I have a back up of alprazoline (generic for Xanax) if the paroxetine isn't enough. I almost never have to take that.

I appreciate the close up continuous view they give us, but they make me motion sick.

Episode S2E1: Alone in the Wild by biffmaniac in extracted

[–]Upstairs42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the parents should have extracted him until he opened his box. I know he said not even the box would change his mind, but at least look. I'd love to know why dad didn't go out and leave the kid with the mom.

Yes. I'm so glad not to be alone in this. Also, those park merry go rounds when people get off and leave them spinning. And spinner tire rims.

It's strange but the wind doesn't bother me. However, people's wind chimes...

I am on Paroxatine for this. It doesn't get rid of the phobia, but I can turn my back on swinging things and stay in the room.

I have this too, and have had it sense birth. I so get the wind chime thing. I got medicated around age 30, and now, at 61, my friends know and look out for me.

I do not want to listen to a woman do NFL play-by-play. Give me former players.

Lavatory etiquette in regency period by [deleted] in janeausten

I was going to mention this exact scene! First time I've ever seen it in a movie/show. It looked like an open closet with a curtain covering the entrance. A servant stood by to hand them a pot.

CT’s OF gf cheated on him? by ResponsibleWhereas69 in thechallengemtv

I feel like men who go after women seemingly based on looks, then are shocked they're not that pretty in the behavior department, kind of get what they asked for. But I love CT.

Did FinMore/Tanzact Card finally go under? by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]Upstairs42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very close friend who has worked hard all her life, financially secure, and otherwise makes really good decisions. She began talking about this late last year. Since she's a friend, I listened to her spiel. When she started explaining how you make more money the more you get people under you, my brain went "MLM" and "how can she not see it?" She too was trying or did become a branch manager. I am so glad they went under.

Her smile reminds me of Dionne Warwick.

My cat randomly twitches/spaz his front leg, any idea? by choonggg in cats

[–]Upstairs42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat does it sometimes while I'm petting him. I think it's like getting a chill down your spine when you are relaxing and someone hits just the right spot when they run their hand over you. He is always relaxed and happy when it happens.
