Anyone else got habits they wish they didn't have or do??
I cuss. My vocabulary is large enough to express anything I feel so there's no reason for it. I never cuss anyone out, but my current flavor of the week is "f*ck". F*ck, damn, and sh*t are three words I'm trying to eliminate from my vocabulary...but...I have too much stressors in effect right now to follow through. (I have deliberately gone over ten years, in the past, without letting one cuss word leave my lips...I was too scared my kid would say them in church. AGAIN. Drat that speeding ticket.)
I double or triple check that each public pen that I've used doesn't end up in my purse. I used to end up with over a dozen pens in my purse each month with no idea how they got there, lol.
I forget to eat until I'm getting dizzy and feeling sick. Right now I'm working on remembering to eat three times per day as I'm getting better at having a second one. I'm sure I've already messed up my metabolism to where it thinks I'm in starvation mode and it's beyond repair.
I cut people off while they are talking, either because they are talking way too long without taking a breath and I am dying to cut in...or else I'm afraid of forgetting something that needed to be said.
I'm incapable of biting my lip when some movie (especially a porn movie) is f*ing ridiculous and I'll verbally rip it to shreds. If some character in a movie is doing their best to win a Darwin Award, I'm cheering on the monster to hurry up and kill them already.
I freeze up on the day that my money comes into the bank and generally can't/won't pay bills for a week to a week and a half without experiencing a great deal of difficulty. Crowded stores...it's a PTSD thing. My phone company closed up it's office, a place that was easy for me to make payments, same goes for my electric bill. I prefer paying cash and hate sending checks by mail. Waiting in line at Walmart or a grocery store to pay my bills can totally overload me, especially strangers brush up against me or some aftershave I remember from way back when... I often go shopping after midnight on the first and can get most of my shopping done in early morning hours when there are not that many people up and about, but bill paying...sometimes I put that off until the exact due date, and with Geico, sometimes I go a day or two past the due date.
I have survivors' guilt, and found out since Carin's death that guilt of any type, no matter how stupid or unreasonable, can trigger my panic attacks. I've worked on it and have gotten better BUT...this kicks in at bill paying time believe it or not. I feel guilty when I don't have all my bills paid by the 3rd and this contributes to my freezing up and avoiding them for a week longer.
My eyes are a magnet for cat hair, especially when one of my furbabies stands between my face and the fan in the window when I am playing my Nintendo DS or reading a book. I rub the eye first...and cannot resist rubbing the other eye that's not bothering me.
