A long time ago there was a thread here called "You know you have A/P when..."  It was pretty fun laughing at ourselves, good therapy I'd say.  Let's give it another go around tongue

You know you have A/P when your loved one asks you "How are you doing?", you reply "Fine" and they say "Really?!?"

Keep them coming!

You know you have anxiety when your favorite slogan is "When life gives you lemons make lemonade , then use it to wash down the Xanax".

When you make a cup of coffee, and then put the jug in the fridge cause you can't think straight.

When you are sitting in an office, relazed, and think someone is behind you, and you jump high outta the chair yelling. (Took me all night to peal the egg of my face)

You know you have anxiety when you start panicking because you're not panicking enough!

"Oh no, I'm overdue... it's coming soon.... it's imminent.... and this next attack will be worse because the anxiety has had more time to build up.....!!!!"

You know you have anxiety when this is your version of the hokey pokey:


You put your whole self in, you put your whole self out; you put your whole self.... under the covers and hide from the world!

You brake up a street fight, and at the end of it, you are the only one shaking. blush

When you are 40 yrs. old and have a night light (Disney Princess! My daughter doesn't use it anymore!) blush

You know you have anxiety when you buy Tee Shirts with the following messages:

"People like you are the reason people like me need medication"

 

" I told My therapist about You "

Hi All

I love this thread very funny.

You know you have anxiety when you phone for a doctors appointment and they have all ready booked you in.

You know you have anxiety disorder when you start worrying about being anxious then get even more anxious because your worrying to much.

You know you have anxiety disorder when the first thing you notice in the morning is your heart racing.

You know you have anxiety disorder when you can accept your disorder but wish so desperately that someone else would accept it for you.

This is so funny :)

You know you have anxiety when you start to worry because you're feeling happy.

Oh yeah, sad but true!

Or how about when you literally jump at your own shadow? Since it's getting darker earlier, when I was out for my walk the other night, I made a shadow under a streetlight and almost had to break out the karate moves...on myslef

When the left side of your face feels 'numb' like the skin is shriveling up (OMG...a stroke!)only to discover it's a layer of hair spray.

When the cashier at the grocery store is staring at your face with such intensity you are convinced your lips must be blue or you have suddenly developed an embarrassing rash...Turns out the hubby let you out of the house with a Giant Chocolate Instant Breakfast Moustache.  HMMM.

And...having a near seizure because you are driving home alone at night, look at what you think is the temperature gauge on the panel...it's WAY up there...must be overheating on this dark isolated road.  It's the gas gauge...full tank.

I hate when people ask me the time on the street ’cause something happens to me. I just panic. I can’t read my watch. When I’m alone, I’m great at reading my watch, but when someone asks me, I just have this anxiety attack, and I just can’t make it out… I always end up saying something useless, like, ‘It’s 20 of 9:40.”

yeah    yeah    yeah    yeah    yeah     yeah

uuuhh, so would that be 9:20? lol! I love the hairspray one-death by cosmetics! So funny-keep them coming;)

OMG I was laughing so hard about this SC. I've done the same thing....thinking a person was around...nope....just me!

I don't post a lot in A/P but had to read this thread and respond cuz I was really amused. tongue

Why did that happen...I meant to italicize the first sentence and make the others normal???

Hi monkiray, glad you stopped by;) I sometimes check out the CD boards, as my brother-in-law has it and I like to see if there is any new/helpful advice.
Yeah so I crouched down, arms out to the side ready to strike (not quite 'Karate Kid' pose, but almost as bad) I am so glad that none of my neighbors were out and could see me making a spectacle of myself!

You know your having a panic attack when your plotting to take over the world.

I love this thread so have bumped it back to the top.

You know you have an anxiety disorder when your desperate for the loo at the cinema but you don't go as every one will be looking at you.

You know you have an anxiety disorder when you are an hour early for an appointment.
Posted 8/14/2014 9:41 PM (GMT 0)
This makes me laugh.

Gosh, I can relate to pretty much the whole shebang.

Okay, here goes:




You know you have anxiety disorder when it takes you an hour to pull your thoughts together enough to call and make an appointment for taking the dog to the groomers because you're afraid you won't say the right things on the phone.
