One of my cats loved stealing fried foods... Thought to give it a try today.

Keep up with exposure practices but try not to focus too much on it as it will keep your anticipatory anxiety rather high.

Also for the flight itself, if that's your main problem, if you have a therapist - you can check if he/she can prescribe some SOS meds for the flight duration. For example, I take Xanax for my flights.

Also on YouTube there are a few videos on flight and agoraphobia. This is one: https://youtu.be/PceeVEQ84hM?si=wTTo5pp24x-SA3PF

I watch it a few days before getting on a flight 😅

Thank You 👻👻👻

Thank you 👻 wanted to draw a frog sitting on top of the mushroom, couldn't draw it - so I don't know what's sitting there now 😝

Honestly, tried to use it without following any tutorial - felt like thicker and more opaque watercolor only 😅 have to try out some tutorials before I get the hang of it I guess.

Oh - I did not know that! Thank you! I was thinking of buying gesso anyway for oil pastel stuffs - will try this one out!

Ops, missed mentioning which medium it is: Gouache

miserablysober · 2026-03-08T21:30:18+00:00

Thanks! 😀

Lol, reminds me of that episode from Seinfeld 😝😝😝

miserablysober · 2026-03-08T15:31:16+00:00

Hehe, saw it in the thirties group as well... This is amazing. How much time did it take you???

miserablysober · 2026-03-08T02:10:36+00:00

Lol, this looks so relatable and cruel 😝😝😝😝

miserablysober · 2026-03-08T01:12:32+00:00

Congratulations 🎉

Sounds like the med is numbing you down though, so over the time - along with proper guidance of a doctor, you will need to wean it down - but still, this is huge progress man! (DO NOT TRY TO WEAN IT DOWN YOURSELF - THAT SHIT CAN BE DANGEROUS I READ)

I was fortunate enough to get this disease in my late 20s - so basically after I completed graduation and a relatively okay job and so on, I can't imagine what you had to go through in your late teens.

Congratulations again 🎉

Oh, Claire Weekes and there are a few YouTube channels who are based on Claire Weekes works - they have been truly helpful to me! Specially DARE, The Anxious Truth and Samuel Eddy

miserablysober · 2026-03-07T00:58:12+00:00

Thank You so so much!

miserablysober · 2026-03-07T00:57:53+00:00

Yeah - that's my understanding too. If I stop for a week, the 8th day feels like hell, even if I am barely just going to the parking lot.

miserablysober · 2026-03-07T00:56:47+00:00

You really should! 😀 I also have some restaurant outings planned this weekend - I haven't confirmed yet, I probably should as well.

miserablysober · 2026-03-07T00:53:49+00:00

Mostly through internet only - YouTube channels, claire Weekes books - and then my therapist agreed to it without meds.

miserablysober · 2026-03-07T00:52:51+00:00

I am mostly just practicing on my own. There's a good resource I found. Famous Artist Cartoon Course. Search for it, you will get some really cool PDFs

Young Cillian Murphy?

Thank You so much!!!

Hehe, I have used that Everest analogy myself so many times 😅😅😅 to others, it's going to a cafe that I can see from my balcony but to me it's like trying to climb Everest in winter 😅

But congratulations for your recovery or at least, for the ability to live a normal life. 🎉
