  1. CW: Asking for advice on blood/injury phobia (and fainting)

    Someone I know has a #blood/injury type #phobia—the kind that causes full-on #fainting, not just stress/fear.

    I'm trying to help them get through a blood test. (The phobia is so severe that just *discussing* the topic can cause a faint.) If anyone has advice, *especially* from direct experience of this, I'd be grateful.

    Looking to address both the fear and the faint response.

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@bici/11606754

    TIL+: The general term is triskaidekaphobia.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaid

    As a teen, I decided to call it my lucky day. After collecting data, I can confidently state, no day is more boring & average than a Friday the 13th. Nothing bad or great has ever happened to or for me on that day.

    In #Thailand, they remove 13th floors. Some replace it with a 12a'th floor. Once in our condo, the lift got an update and they forgot the patch, so for about 24h, we had a 13th floor.

  14. For a normal person, i would not make fun of a person with a #phobia of stairs. That would be bullying. But when a supposed strong man bully calls himself the pinnacle of manliness and has a phobia of stairs, its just hilarious.

  17. CW: Chonky critter that can and will trigger arachnophobia

    Yay it's autumn again. Guess sleep is off the table for the next few months... 😭

    (And please don't tell me how wonderfully useful they are. I am aware, but my lizard brain overrides all logic when faced with spiders)
