2018-09-07 at 9:12 AM UTCIt sounds like you're socially isolated OP, for sure getting integrated back into society and making friends and getting more going on in your life is your priority right now, not worrying about the Government (who have infinite money anyway).

How the hell did a drink a 40 of vodka every day? This is getting ridiculous
"A 40 of vodka"

Can't speak for anyone else, but I can't fucking stand it when people ask me this
Nobody actually cares, it's just a greeting now
I can't answer the question honestly without getting ridicule or non-understanding but I don't want to lie either, so I usually just end up saying some other greeting like "hey" back. How about, instead, we don't ask people questions we don't want the answer to?
How did we get to a place in society where we use what should be a caring, honest question as a thoughtless greeting? -
2018-09-10 at 1:47 PM UTCI know it doesn't work in English but when people ask me how I am doing I say "It must" or just "must" and look at them stoically. It makes most people realize that shit isn't that great for me.

Interesting. Maybe an honest answer is acceptable in other places.
In the US, or at least, everywhere I've been, anything other than "good" or "fine" is apparently cause for alarm -

What are they going to do about it?
When I was completely Benzed out I'd be very honest. Like, "Complete shit. My brother tried to kill himself and I'm just out of rehab and already relapsed so I'm thinking about doing the same, you?" Hahaha. That's a great way to freak people out at a random meeting in a grocery store. -
2018-09-10 at 2:44 PM UTCAgoraphobia has very little to do with dating or relationships in general. Agoraphobia is really just another fake "disorder", characterized by a kind of stupidity that fools the person into thinking they have issues with closed spaces/being trapped, basically an irrational fear, used by the medical industrial complex to make themselves trillions of dollars off these unwitting said stupid people.

What's the mental condition that forces stupid people to be know-it-all bullshitters on the internet? -

Nice. Sorry about your brother though
I've only done it once when I was in a very bad mood. I was clearly upset, and they asked "how are you today?"
"Considering suicide, thanks for asking."
He did that weird nervous laugh that people do when they believe what you said but want you to think they thought it was a joke
But, it worked. He hasn't asked it again.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Hahaha no
I haven't gotten severe Agoraphobia (that wasnt caused by drugs) in about five years now, but when I did have it, it could get bad.
I literally didn't eat for two weeks once because I didn't want to go into a public grocery store so badly
It is by no means a fake disorder or a "stupid people" disorder
it does fall prey to big pharma and people looking for a scapegoat, but so does any other mental disorder -
2018-09-10 at 3:05 PM UTC99% of "disorders" aren't even disorders. Things like stress, anxiety, frustration, depression, etc., are all part of everyone's lives. Just because you've decided you can't, or don't want to, handle it does not make it a disorder, it just makes you cowardly, weak, stupid and basically just too lazy to man up and deal with it.

I don't
I agree that a lot of mental disorders are 100% bullshit, but not that Agoraphobia is one of them
There are people who use it as an excuse to never do anything, sure, but that's not everyone, and people have been doing it with nearly every mental illness since psychiatry became a thing -

Originally posted by Mythighslookslikethenightsky5555 It's just more lies! Im sick of living a lie but no matter what I say to anymore I will be lying if I keep it up or revealing the lie if I tell them so im damned either way. No escape
If you can't figure out that you just gradually tell your doctor about the little 'progresses' you made over some months then you should prolly stick to the benefits and claim as much as poss coz you ain't gonna fair too well in the workplace. Minimum wage cleaning up puke all day will be about the best you could hope for.
