[Whyteferret]

Leave a full cart of food in a grocery store because someone startles you and you just can't stay anymore.

This made me smile too even though I know that it's serious.

When your co-workers think you have severe stomach pains because of how many times you run into the bathroom and hide in the stall where the door locks.

 

[Gadgie]

You can't wait to log in here and read what's happening, as this is the only place where you can relax, and feel comfortable.

 

[Chimera]

When the word coworker makes you want to cry with longing

when your husbands family goes on a cruise and you are ok with staying home. Its not just my anxiety, but bermuda in august with asthma that reacts to humidity... um no. worse would be all of the people there. I just cant relax in crowds like that

When being alone gets lonely but being with someone else too draining

When making appointments is really hard because you have to take your phone and call someone you don't know....

 

[Ronin]

When you make appointments just fine, as an exercise in not going there & canceling of services you're not interested in.

Well, gotta keep the ability going, somehow, don't I. :rolleyes::banghead:

...When you feel separate from everyone in a room.

...When you jump up in the air because you are inside a memory, and someone startles you.

...When you spend a lot your time learning lessons about life, but long to be living it instead.

...When your eyes glaze over and the person opposite you continues talking, as if you have been able to hear them or concentrate.

...When last week to you was actually last year :eek::rolleyes:

...When you feel separate from everyone in a room.
