For instance, I hate the word "glee." It is like nails on a chalkboard in my brain. As you can imagine, Twitter is frequently challenging for me as a result, lately. Something about the phrase "slow cooker" bothers me. Yummie Tummie grates. <br /><br />I am crazy.<br /><br />I told Sarah about this recently, however, and I felt much better. <br /><br />Stretches of bare trees remind me of Bambi's forest and I am done in. <br /><br />Wow. I have issues. **not a shock.** ;)Lauriehttp://lauriewrites.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-15728476684571957672009-12-09T06:14:51.891-08:002009-12-09T06:14:51.891-08:00Every day I think there is something wrong with me...Every day I think there is something wrong with me.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279999850117456433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-3439563462959127762009-12-05T04:30:00.482-08:002009-12-05T04:30:00.482-08:00When people crinkle plastic bags it drives me insa...When people crinkle plastic bags it drives me insane.

I get the same dizzy/disoriented feeling from - get this - tightly packed geometric circular shapes like a conglomeration of tiny soap bubbles or looking directly into the garlic press before cleaning it.

My in-laws tell a lovely story about me being dropped off at home & having to ring my sister-in-law to come back & take the huge grasshopper out of the bathroom (honestly, it was at least 15' long) before I could go in there.

My saint of a husband has learned to just relax and give me the 10 minutes (or more) it takes to find a comfy position in bed - no wrinkles in my pjs under me, no wrinkles in the pillowcase that I can feel on my face, sheets smooth, hair pulled off my face - yet still covering my ears, top blanket folded over just so it tucks in up to my collarbone, but NOT over the neck because then I feel like I can't breathe. Oh gosh, it sounds even whackier now that I've put it in writing for the first time ever!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662150038715086294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-580191184264879072009-11-30T14:54:52.213-08:002009-11-30T14:54:52.213-08:00You know how sometimes there's a grate in a si...You know how sometimes there's a grate in a sidewalk?

They were doing SCUBA treks under the ice. The looked down and found a dog-sled team, somthing like 8 or 10 dogs still attached to the sled with the guy still holding the reins and most of the stuff still on the sled, preserved in the freezing water. Then they panned up, and it was all dark solid black ice except for one tiny little patch which was the hole they entered in. I broke into a cold sweat and got nauseous and breathing heavy. Total panic attack.

If someone innocently says, "I'm sorry, what?" in a situation where it is hard to hear or something otherwise reasonable, I can tolerate it, but if I think that a person is just distracted or ignoring me in some way I take it very, very personally and feel like stabbing. At home and at work, in particular, I have to work very hard not to be a complete bitch if I am not heard the first time.<br /><br />I have 1,001 other anxiety issues, but nothing can ramp me up to panic levels and anger levels like that can.Melissahttp://www.heypeaches.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-66219042902258792712009-11-29T21:35:51.563-08:002009-11-29T21:35:51.563-08:00If someone rubs or chews a styrofoam cup it makes ...If someone rubs or chews a styrofoam cup it makes me want to scream.Deodandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252076084306247100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-87845112438106384012009-11-29T21:04:43.077-08:002009-11-29T21:04:43.077-08:00Television snow.

If anyone says they have a stomach bug, I will instantly run away. It is the reason why I did not have kids. Seriously. And now that I am married to a man with little germ factories, I have enough money stashed away to spend three nights in a hotel if anyone comes down with the hurls.<br /><br />I have several other real, debilitating phobias, most health and germ and death related (think Howie Mandel). I have been in therapy for decades. Unfortunately, drugs do very little for full-on phobias.<br /><br />While most people who know me well know about my particular brand of crazy, I have found that the vast majority of people don't "get it" and love to say things like "Just get over it!" Because, you know, I hadn't thought of that. <br /><br />So, the answer to your question is "YES!"Jessicahttp://thesandchronicles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-60549776654148609342009-11-29T20:43:42.000-08:002009-11-29T20:43:42.000-08:00Ok. :)
