If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.


I am also nothing if not someone who is terrible at filling out memes. I wasn't even consistent there. Like I marked 'giving birth' even though it's dysphoria and not fear, but I didn't mark 'large crowds of people' because it's not fear, it's stress. And I feel like most of those should have explanations all over them but that's not even like, the point of memes like this, so.

Sorry, I am actually not feeling too good lately. Um.

Oh, have the ads for CS5 been annoying anybody else? Like, they seriously slow my browser waaaaaay the fuck down (AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE). Which annoys me because I bought a fucking expensive computer with all the right drivers to not be slowed down by anything ever again since like, I don't do anything actually taxing like play any MMORPGs on it, and yet somehow these ads have been annoying the fuck out of me since I got this computer. PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE?

It's also annoying because, you know, I have the latest version of photoshop already, so basically adobe is annoying me to advertise to me something I ALREADY HAVE. To an extent. I'm not getting all of CS5 ffs, I would never use it!

I'd be the same with that meme. Like - I'm afraid of enclosed spaces I can't get out of (I have panic attacks on the underground trains) but when I'm freaked out I like to find an enclosed space in my home to hide in.

Same here...although I think the tight spaces is mostly if I can't move my limbs? I freak out if it takes me more than a few seconds to get out of a shirt.

And the height thing...I'm afraid of heights because I have compulsive urges to throw myself or things I'm holding over the side. Completely unrelated to suicidal thoughts, which I haven't had in years.
