He can practically cross his toes he's that flexible.
Sorry. I'll stop now. You really don't want to see my nasty toenail that never grew back properly after coming off years ago.
... Do you? Fucking bunch of freaks!

Most people have a footwear related story when I meet them, one of the dads in school told me about when he wanted to treat himself to a really nice pair of shoes and the guy in the shop dismissed him, saying “we can’t cater for you ‘regional feet’ sir”.
Have you ever been told you have ‘regional feet’, decks?

I feel like I need to post a picture of my full foot. That doesn't show them on a good light.

I had an operation to “correct” a bunion some years back, x-ray looks lovely with the screws and stuff. I have beautiful feet.

High heels a size too small are the cause of bunions in 97% of cases

Wasn’t sure if I should post this in the Poo Diaries thread or the Depression thread, so I’ll just go with this one instead.
I have very bad anxiety, and very bad IBS, and the two are very strongly linked. Whenever I get anxious my bowel kicks in, whenever I have a panic attack it goes into overdrive. It’s been like that for years.
A couple of months ago we had a day out planned for my birthday, track day in an Aventador, dinner at my favourite restaurant, cocktails at my favourite bar. We got halfway to the track when I had a full on panic attack, had to get the wife to pull over to a nearby Costa so I could spend half an hour dying on a toilet. I then got her to drive me home so I could spend the rest of the day crying in bed.
Anyway, it’s now a couple of months later and that experience seems to have completely broken me, in the form of a full fledged agoraphobia. Every time I go to leave the house I suddenly feel like I’m about to shit myself. I don’t even need to go outside, just going to the door and putting my shoes on is enough to set it off. It’s making life borderline unliveable.
I know this post is going to get me some flack on the forum in the future, but if you could lay off the bantz for a while it would be appreciated. I just want to know if anyone has been through anything similar and if so how you got through it. I’ve started seeing two therapists (a traditional one for the long term, I have a lot of issues, and an EMDR one to try deal with the immediate trauma which I’m sceptical about as a ‘science’ but at this point I’m desperate and will try anything) but I’m basically at a loss as to how to resume functioning as a pretending-to-be-sane person like I could a few months ago.

EMDR sounds like horseshit to me, but apparently there is evidence that it works for PTSD so what do I know?
Sounds like pretty standard anxiety attacks. If you weren't always like this then you should be able to get back to where you were. It'll take some work and there's no easy shortcuts but you'll get there.

Never heard of EMDR before, sounds a bit extreme to be honest. I'm guessing you've tried and ruled out CBT if you're trying that?

Are you getting treatment? This isn't something you have to just 'deal with'. Medication sounds sensible

Zomoniac, I assume you've spoken to your doctor (phone) to get some advice? I've not used EMDR but I've been recommended it from a couple of therapists. I looked it up and thought "what the hell?" and didn't proceed. However, it might help, so give it a go. I've also had tapping recommended to me and tried it a bit, but who knows.
Stuff I've seen work was a combination of CBT, slow and controlled exposure to what your fear is and mindfulness. IAPT run trans diagnostic courses which are based on that. However if you can't get out, there is a book that the course is based on that might help you.
However, listen to the experts and try what they say and if it doesn't work, I've had a rapid intervention and a computer based package to hopefully help me after a self referral to iapt.

Are you getting treatment? This isn't something you have to just 'deal with'. Not outside therapy. I’m on Sertraline 100mg, have been for about five years. Had CBT before without much success. That’s why I’m trying EMDR. It seems extreme, but this situation is entirely being made up in my head and seems to have resulted from a specific traumatic event. I can cope with being depressed and anxious, I’ve been managing it for decades, but I can’t cope with this so just need something to get me back to being a functioning human asap, and hopefully a long term therapist can help me deal with everything else in time.

So I had the same kind of thing for quite a while. Basically an explicit need to know where a restroom is at any given moment, even though 95% of the time it wasn’t needed, and it more or less turned me into a hermit. I had major stomach issues for several years before that, so even though things were mostly on track with that, the anxiety inflated it in my mind. I couldn’t eat before going out, I couldn’t eat out and then go somewhere else, and eventually it got to the point where I basically didn’t want to go out at all regardless. With a combination of other anxiety based things I was eventually diagnosed with OCD and put on some therapies to specifically deal with that. I’m still not 100% and have flare ups at time, especially when I’m under stress, but a combination of decent therapy and mindfulness had a world of effect for me.
I’m not a doctor so I’m not about to say yours is the same, but it is a familiar story and I’d suggest continuing the regular therapy, and if you can see an actual psychiatrist too. I’ve no idea what the other type is so I won’t comment on it.

If all else fails, chat on here. We've collectively got a bit of experience on the 'noggin ain't quite right' front. I tried quite hard to not be here several times in the last 2 years, for anxiety reasons, for example

I just want to know if anyone has been through anything similar and if so how you got through it. I'm from a different forum but even so I don't think you're going to get flack for being honest about yourself here. The only thing I can say is take some time to focus on yourself and find a very small step you can take. I get struggling with the world in general being shit. That's actually the truth and you're ahead of most of us in asking someone to help you deal with that. This is where I should close with a satisfying piece of wisdom but we're all in the same boat.

Godspeed dude. If you want to vent on here, have at it, but keep us (me, at least) updated on how it's going ETA: Sertraline messed me up badly. Name a side effect I had it.

But yeah, there's plenty of us who have been scarred by what life's thrown at us and despite everything, we're still here, cluttering up the forum. You'll get over this mate. Just do the therapy and I'm sure you will improve.
