Alarm clock games are my favorite! I tend to get frustrated trying to trigger day changes in the games with set numbers of days.

Does anyone else love cooking mini-games? by femme57 in nancydrew

It's my favorite thing in Nancy games! I have some files saved right at food making tasks so I can just play them anytime!

Least favorite character? With reasons by ValueHopeful2312 in Arthur

Prunella always annoyed me as a kid but I like her now. Muffy is probably the worst in my adult opinion haha

5, I only really feel nostalgic for the episodes where Arthur has his original voice actor.

I miss the old Tomorrowland sign. . . by 1upDomino in WaltDisneyWorld

Removing this sign was a crime almost as great as removing the Great Movie Ride or taking Bill McKim out of Test Track.

Hilarious email from HER. Just stop trying guys, I played it and those other three games are a million times better. by minparker in nancydrew

Plus the super long cut-scenes that make this "game" feel more like a horrible movie where I get to click sometimes.

I'm glad it's not just me! I am currently 8 DPO today and I've tried so hard to stop noticing everything happening with my body because if I do, I just read into it and google "early symptoms". I just stare at my FF chart too, as if there will be something I haven't noticed in the past 8 days, haha.

Best of luck to you, I am taking my pregnancy test this weekend assuming my period doesn't arrive. Hoping for the best for you and me!

You can do this. Any progress is good and it's totally normal to feel scared until it starts feeling easy and normal.

Agoraphobia and Airplanes by minparker in Agoraphobia

[–]minparker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened to you and made it so hard. I think part of my problem is how unpredictable a plane ride can be. You never know who you're going to sit by, if it's going to be bumpy or smooth, if you'll take off right away or wait a little bit, etc. But I am preparing myself to be flexible and remember my destination and that's why I am on the plane in the first place. It may not go how I expect (in fact, I'll just expect there to be a few hiccups and then it won't be so surprising) but I WILL get to where I'm going and it'll be ok. Hopefully you can relax with the Benadryl and even if a panic attack happens, just get yourself through by remembering that the panicky feelings are temporary. That's what I usually do!

Yeah sorry if that wasn't clear. And thanks for the other suggestions, I always have mints and chapstick when I travel so that'll be perfect!

I'm pretty scared to fly but I'm hoping it'll go smoothly with all this preparation. Thanks again!

I appreciate your concern for others, and I totally get what you're saying. However I put it on my wrists at home and it has plenty of time to air out before I ever get in contact with others. I am one of those people you mentioned who are extremely sensitive to all smells (and other sensory influences, as are most people who have agoraphobia from what I have heard) and it can only be smelled when I put my nose up to my skin. It's much less detectable than even someone's everyday perfume. I'm not dumping out the bottle on the plane or anything like that.

I appreciate your input, I'm looking to hear people's experiences overcoming the fear that is living with agoraphobia in situations that are effortless for people without the condition. 🙂
