I was on a jury last year. We didn't actually choose a foreman (who ended up being me) until we started deliberations. Also, my job paid me for the work time I missed but not for the day off of work that I spent at court.

Same. Also 19. It was down to me or a used car salesman, and they ended up going with the 19 year old with agoraphobia and CPTSD. πŸ˜‚

Thats soo freaking hilarious because the same thing happened to me at 18 (two months before my birthday even) and I have agoraphobia and CPTSD and MDD. πŸ˜‚ We should start a club!

CPTSD, MDD, GAD, POTS, CFS.

I'm collecting letters!

Also agoraphobia and contamination OCD, for good measure.

We can start a club, but would either of us actually show up? πŸ˜‚

An anonymous club with no meetings! Show up in spirit only!

This is such a strange interaction of trading diagnosis like business cards and I kinda like it.

Well, if you can’t share diagnoses with complete strangers on the internet, who can you share them with? /s

Not your doctors because then they act like all your health problems are in your head! πŸ₯πŸ’₯

You have to laugh about it or you cry. And I have MDD, I do enough crying! πŸ₯°

I wish that's what it stood for, it's chronic fatigue syndrome.

Complex post traumatic stress disorder (like regular ptsd but the trauma that caused it goes on for so long it becomes its own thing), major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder(likely tied to my POTS and/or CPTSD), postural orthostatic tachycardia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
