Since I am a diagnosed person with an anxiety disorder, believe it or not, I have a very astute knowledge if the types of panic that someone with my mental disorder can go through from time to time. Common ones are hating big crowds, confined spaces ya know general shit like that. Tonight I experienced one that took me to the edge. I have named this on GoneiPhoniabia. This particular panic disorder is brought about by the inability to find your iPhone after one of your under 4 year old children has taken your phone and hidden somewhere or done something else more sinister with it. Symptoms are rapid heart rate, irrational thought, sweating, Tourette like swearing at no one and anyone in the house and a complete loss of memory for when you last had possession of the device or the situations surrounding that possession. All of this compounds to a gross inability to think logically and thus inhibits your ability to effectively search for the lost device because of cognitive dissonance brought about by the pre-disposed anxiety problem. The only treatment for the disorder is a chemical intervention combined with a behavioral technique known as CTFD "calm the F***k down". Once both of these treatments take effect it is easier to locate said device. This PSA has been brought to you courtesy of DJ Stephen Pitts B.S. Psychology. BTW I did find my phone wrapped up in the bed linens after I tore the house apart and climbed my fence to make sure it was not thrown over or in the pool. Grrrrrr.....
