Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I mostly sit around and wait until it's as short as possible.

Anxiety. The knock-you-out pills conflict with the anti-anxiety pills, so i don't take the anti-anxiety pills, which makes the anxiety worse. I want to get on the plane so that I can get into a seat and take the knock-you-out pills so that they might work before taking off. What if someone's in my assigned seat? What if I have to interact with them? What if they're difficult? What if all the bins are full, then I need to take my batteries & meds out of the bag because they may lose them?

All of these what-if things have happened to me.

I prefer to drive but sometimes I don't have the luxury of time.
