Talking on speakerphone in an open space - People could overhear things The dialing sound made when you are making a call - what if they don't answer? what do I do then? do I leave a voicemail? what if they do answer? what am I supposed to say? Light switches left on when a room is unattended (also made worse by my OCD) Privacy fences with lots of holes or dark knots - I honestly don't know why Overhead announcements - I suck at listening, and it's even worse when others are talking, and I get anxious that I won't hear something important Walking in crowded school hallways - not because I am claustrophobic or anything. I can't see anything (short people problems), so I can't see if there's someone who needs help, or a fight, or why people are yelling, and I can't easily get to any escape routes without trampling people. I also don't want to be rude and cut in front of people or bulldoze them, but I also want to get to class on-time. |

Loud noises in general, but once I'm already on edge a loud tv can push me over. Legit nothing at all. Everything is fine and then, boom, crippling aniexty. People being around me, even when I know most aren't paying me any mind. Eye contact is also an aniexty struggle. Doing nothing. I gotta be doing something. (have a hard time relaxing my mind) Anticipation of feeling\being ambushed by family. People whispering. (social aniexty) Talking to others. (social aniexty) Approaching people that look busy. Here are some silly ones.... :p - Towels. I image the towel sliding in between my teeth and drying my gums. This never fails to make me shrivel in disgust. - Items placed near a edge of a counter, such as glass cups. Absolutely can't stand it. Like what if my clumsy self knocks it off?! XD - Packing for the "what ifs" of leaving the house. Like what if I need this band-aid, extra water bottle, charger, another ear bud, snacks?? Leads me to having what my family calls a "grandma pursue." But they stop laughing when it actually comes in handy. >:D oh! and mirrors. That copy cat gives me the creeps. ...posting comments. "Was that stupid to say? Maybe I should deleted it.. omg that spelling is wrong!" qwq |

 just makes it feel like I'm being forced to agree and go with their terms and wants no matter what happens... I can't even make it out of the country because it's so expensive to leave. Nightmares don't scare me anymore unless they're realistic enough for me to fear having to pay money to fix my injuries. we need to fix this world before there's nothing left of it. |

I truly think in order to "fix" the businesses, Healthcare, safety and education of the country we'd have to start at the base, no more hoarding wealth, punishing the poor, ignoring the safety of citizens. Not many developed countries have the same problem we do, we rank low on many lists. This country is merely brooding ground for them to work us, make us dependent on their products and force us to have more generations to continue the wealth. |

Being Left Alone Darkness Heights Public Speaking/Speeches/Being Yelled At Raised Voices/Arguing Violence/Fighting Guns/Gun Shots Talking About Myself Crying In Public/Being Sensitive Being Blamed/Treated Unfairly Being Touched/Physical Contact Deep Water/Lakes/Ponds/Ocean Being Chased Being Called Ugly/Fat/Weird/Useless ...Yeah there are more but I think I have said enough. I am also extremely paranoid and have ADHA and PTSD so those go add to my anxiety. I have separation anxiety as well so I have a fear of being abandoned or forgotten. Oh! Sleep paralyzes and nightmares contribute to hose fears. The deep water fear is because of the multiple times I've almost drowned and no one tried to help me, instead they laughed. The yelling and talking about my past has to do with my PTSD so I hate when my parents argue or when they yell at me or my brothers. Being touch and physical contact are also things having to do with my past, I hate being hugged tightly or when people try to pick me up. Being called mean things is hurtful because I already have such a low amount of self-confidence, plus people say I don't look how I'm supposed to and get made fun of often. Darkness, being chased, and heights are fears that have to do with my sleep paralyzes and nightmares. Anyways, I should stop talking now as it may make other uncomfortable. If I did please tell me and I will delete this post. Another thing is yes, I am fine. A little...off...but fine, so don't mind me. :) |
