Morning, Kids! I wanted to touch on something... Fidget spinners... I kept seeing them and thought they were kind of dumb. Then I read they were supposed to help people with anxiety and other mental type issues. I wasn't convinced, but I put on my Dunce hat and pulled out my wallet yesterday when I saw they were buy one get one, I figured It would be a silly gift for Mom and if nothing else the one I ended up with would end up in one of my projects...
Not sure if I've mentioned it, But I have some pretty intense anxiety/panic attacks and depression. I've spend more time than I'd like to admit trying not to be noticed or at least look unapproachable enough that noone ask's me why I'm crying or shaking like an alcoholic on day three in rehab. It tends to happen on drop day, aka pee cup day(I go to the Methadone clinic twice a week, I used to be into pharms pretty bad, now I've only been taking what I'm prescribed as its prescribed for the last five years or so. but they still drop everyone once a week to make sure they're not messing around) which means I have to sit there until either I can pee or they realize it's just not physically possible when things get to that point and they reschedule me... I couldn't believe that those simple little chunks of plastic with a bearing and a few weights could actually make a difference, but it really helps keep my mind from bouncing around like it always does, which is what makes little things spiral into full blown panic attacks. Now I just have to wait till they're not so popular so people don't want to talk to me about the spinner fad while I'm trying not to talk to anyone... although I did debate putting a chair facing a corner so people would think I was just looney (well, more so than they already do)
I could just pull a doggy and sing a song "stab stab stabby stab, I want to stabby stab, would you like a stabby stab? I've got one for you!"
That should keep em at bay... I wish I still had my shirt that said "one by one the penguins steal my sanity" lol It may not make a difference in this case, I just loved that shirt
