Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Why is the power cutting out bad? Wouldn't they just stop working and have you come back later?

Reasonable, logical thoughts would lead one to think that way... But unfortunately, anxiety works in mysterious ways.

But what are you anxious about? Like what do you think will happen if the power goes out?

It's been 2 years, I have no idea. I definitely know that I didn't consciously choose to start hyperventilating and losing the edges of my vision... It's not like it's anything I worry about now, it was a highly situational kind of anxiety. I know I just need to suck it up and make an appointment.
