Re: Fandom and Anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, when I'm having one it usually doesn't show in a way that would fit most people's mental image of anxiety- even when it literally feels like dying, I just kind of freeze up and go all Stepford Smiler until I can retreat to somewhere that's safe enough to fall apart.

Oh gosh, you too? I didn't realize until fairly recently that when a panic attack is in the early stages, I have this smile pasted on my face, presumably to try to fend off anyone asking me what's wrong... One day I went to the bathroom at work, freaking out and feeling sick, looked in the mirror over the sink while splashing water on my face, and saw a pleasant smile and was like "wtf?" I wonder how long I've been doing that...

Which is really ironic because normally I'm one of those people to whom well-meaning old people frequently say "You should smile more!"

Yep. And I talk about it on the Internet marginally more than I do in RL, because when would I even bring it up? No one IRL wants to hear about my special snowflake problems. If it happens when I'm around people, I just freeze-grin and get out of there as soon as possible.
