Great Timing

[snaples]

So I didn't get a chance to see Star Trek.  Or rather, I saw the first part.  The second part was spent in the bathroom, trying not have a heart attack.  Good timing that my panic attack decided to have, I began to feel the effects of anxiety just as the crew was completely assembled (minue Scottie, which irked me).  My husband patiently and wonderfully understood and we escaped the din of the movie theatre and went for ice cream instead.

<3 husband.

So I will wait until this comes out on DVD.  But from the first part, I can honestly say it was good.

It did make me laugh aloud that Kirk DID, in fact, do a green chick.

It's actually my heart. I get palpitations, which were diagnosed as perfectly normal for my physionomy, but then they have this adverse effect on my brain: they panic me. So whenever my heart decides to give an inspiring rendition of Wipe Out, it sometimes triggers a panic attack. However, when I am in a familiar place, it doesn't bother me at all. I don't much like crowds, but they don't cause anxiety, nor do closed rooms. It's more agoraphobia that I have, where being in a place like a movie theatre, where I am very far from home, and the prospect of going down the aisles and crossing over to go pee in an unfamiliar washroom ... well it snowballed from there. Please don't think I'm nutty ;)

Sounds sorts of sensible from the POV of physiology: if your heart suddenly starts beating like no next Thursday then it's a reasonable assumption on the part of your brain that there's something scary around, so just in case: panic, everybody.

It sounds like things that would normally (okay, dicey word, I know) just make you uncomfortable can start the "oh, something to panic about!" circle.

Oh. I thought that one was a given with lj-bloggers who write HP fanfic. Snupin fanfic? Me? No idea what you're talking about. Sorry. Shall try to recalibrate my world view forthwith.
