I'm on Mastodon now if you're into that kind of thing: https://blorbo.social/@arcanetrivia I have no idea at this point what is likely to be the majority sort of posts there, since I'm not likely to make any posts of my own (I never had a Twitter account because I just don't have a need for posting that kind of microblog stuff). Probably not as random and silly as my Tumblr, but likely there will be fandom-related stuff, which right now largely means Monkey Island. I don't know if any of my other interests like Paganism or woo stuff will show up.

how to decode a person with an anxiety disorder

A good deal of this probably works pretty well as a user's manual for me. I don't think I frequently obsessively worry as a person with true, pure anxiety disorder does, but for most of the places it says worry you can just substitute despair for me and the rest works.

(take everything personally
worry despair
worry despair
worry despair
have difficulty accepting compliments
have difficulty reciprocating friendly gestures... etc.)

I mean, do worry (a lot) about how I am being perceived and various other things as said there, but at least it doesn't come with panic attacks and I think the nature of it is less endless-loop paralyzing. Still though. Pretty accurate.
