1001 Ways To Appear Functional (even Though You're Not)

[Heather]

Hearing and seeing things BUT still managed to get my kid to school today.

Getting dressed and going out. Even though I feel like hiding under my covers.

Not flying into a rage and ranting when other's people's opinion differ from mine.

Just have to remind myself that they are opinions, doesn't make it true.

Sunglasses.

Yep. May get odd looks wearing them inside, but at least no ones backing away, or spiking fear &/or sex at me. :P

I get phone minutes from my sister, so I can talk to her and her daughter by phone. I am poor, so I cannot often afford to buy phone minutes myself. So I have a ready excuse if I don't feel like talking for long, I just remind folks that my sister is paying for this call and I have to keep it short. Folks don't always want to hang up right away, but usually if I keep reminding them of this fact about every minute, it eventually sinks in and they agree to end the call.

Oh and when you're outside and in hypervigilant mode, you can keep track of everyone and everything around you without anyone noticing :D

Food. Teeth grinding and jaw clenching hideout. Shaky, who, me? Nah, I'm just eating, lemme alone.

Yea, it's the polka that makes me all jumpy and stuff :P
Actually I'm just a bit scatterbrained :P But should pass soon, and I'm okay with scatterbrainedness, I'm still feeling great, and much more productive than when depressed!

Oh, my absent-mindedness is inherited, honestly.

 

[Deleted member 28403]

:) Polka is inherited also :P

Jokes. Lots of jokes.

And pretending to have migraines when I need an out ... Sorry, I can't meet, I have a migraine = I'm about to cry and I need to go home and hide in bed before I start hurting myself or accidentally jump in front of a train.

Ohhh I'm SO one of those chicks! I'm sitting in the library right now on my phone wearing dark sunglasses. Yeah, I call it my long hair/dark sunglasses look. It's a dual fake functionality/don't mess with me look. LOL.
