Minor "anxiety attack" (?) happened today

Sort of like that feeling right before getting in a car accident, where you know something bad is about to happen, and it's too late to do anything about it? Except it lasts for 15 minutes-a few hours?

there was a time in PE during high school where I was playing dodgeball and about a second before I got hit, I got a feeling like I was about to get hit, are you talking about that, but extended?

Yeah, except also you think you might die. That's why I went with car accident.

oh. Haven’t had that feeling, then

I am training to do a new job, and I've an excess of work to be completed. Or, as the kids say, jobs start coming and they don't stop coming. Fed the rules and I hit the ground running.

I joke, because it's the only good way to handle stress.

oh. Haven’t had that feeling, then

Yeah, my brain doesn't work what you might call "normal."

A video game analogy for anxiety is feeling as if a boss health bar has just appeared on screen, boss music has kicked in... but the boss itself never appears. It is unpleasant.


Well, I'm kind of fucked when it comes to employment in the short-term it seems. As a recently-graduated historian, most of my job prospects are in the area of education... except it's all getting suspended thanks to covid-19. Yay.

Neither does mine

I'm going through a refresher course in driving school to prepare for my driving test tomorrow. Given how badly I'm sucking at parallel parking, I really don't think there's a chance in hell that I'll pass. The worst part is, I actually become half-decent once I'm on the road, but because of that goddamned parallel parking section (and the rest of the circuit, for that matter), I won't get to show it.

The circuit feels like being in a room full of laser tripwires, and tripping just one of them blows it up. It's stressful, it's nerve-wracking, and it's all about following long and complex instructions that I just can't follow.

Somewhat annoyed right now; with the corona virus scare, everyone has bought out all the food and stuff from the stores. I mean I'm flat broke so I couldnt buy a can of chili if there was one.
And now, everyone is apparently on the internet, because for the first time I'm unable to watch youtube videos.

Yeah, I remember it being unnecessarily stressful.

[methylatedspirit]

I'm currently doing my driving test (waiting between tests right now) and my nerves are fucking wracked.

[nenjin]

Don't think I had to do parallel parking in my tests. Good luck, driving tests are just stressful period. You get so stressed trying to keep the car going straight at an even speed that you forget to signal before your turn, or some other dumb thing that costs you points.

Ain't y'all ever played WarioWare?   
It'll teach you everything ya need to know about parking.

The most stressful part of my driving test was getting out of the parking lot.

There was a construction vehicle unloading something at the only exit, so I had to - on instruction from the dude giving the test - drive up the kerb into the next parking lot over to actually get out. Probably damaged the car in the process, but I passed the test with 4 demerits. Didn’t have to parallel park, but I recall him asking me to start reversing after parking, and immediately telling me to stop ‘cause I went too fast heh.

True. My understanding of soccer is still "Fuck if I know. Sometimes something happens or not for some reason." I don't think anyone I knew could figure out that minigame. Washing a cow or opening a champagne bottle were easy. Great game aside from the stupid soccer thing.

Rules of soccer: kick the ball. If anyone else comes within six feet of your person, stop, drop, and roll, preferably clutching an appendage and look like you’re in pain.

I had no parallel parking, I passed my theory first time with high marks and had a great practical.

I totaled the car a week later. C'est la vie de la voiture, non?
