Ours are usually indicated by a green left arrow too. (They can also be indicated by a flashing green light, but you don't really see those much anymore.) Just out of curiosity, if you don't use the term advanced green, what do you call them?
We usually just call it a "green arrow." Or sometimes a "protected left turn."
I still have no idea what you guys and gals are talking about, but I’m glad you’re safe, AA!Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that wasn't a universal term!
And you're probably not even Catholic!
You’re more than welcome to come over and do mine.

You're a Flaptain and they have their own lounge. If you go to the board index and have a look at the section "lounges" you ought to see it right under MISC. Been there (twice, actually, as I left as a Flaptain, returned and went through the ranks again), made lots of friends and posted like crazy
Sorry about the anxiety. It's terrible that it takes so long to get a regular therapist.^ I loathe ironing. Washing is ok.
argh of the week, not just of the day: my [insert foul swear words here] anxiety fits are back with a vengeance. I've been fighting them since Thursday and at least now I am ready to mention them (without freezing with fear). I'm gradually pulling myself out of the emotional mud by my own plait but it's a painful and tiresome process. Gonna get professional help but there's no free space with a therapeut until the end of the year. At least I have an appointment for an interview with a specialist at the psychiatric clinic in a fortnight and then might perhaps be able to get infrequent sessions there till I can start a real therapy. I'm strong enough to survive without meds and frequent therapy. I just need someone to lean on for a bit until I regain my emotional balance.
When I'm in trouble, I tend to withdraw. So don't worry if you see less of me online than usual. I'm definitely not suicidal (I might overendulge in chocolate, though
hmm, tricky one. Unfortunately, I was raised a lady and therefore never learned any such vocabulary. My current choice of adjectives (after a whole package of chocolates and the resulting dampening effect on my problems) would be "scheiß/mistige/saublöde/gottverdammte" [shitty/manure-y/sew-dumb/goddamn] Angst. - hey, that actually helped! Thanks

As for the Lounge debate, I meant as opposed to the Down Under one, the German one and the (I think) Dutch one, but I was being flippant

I've been looking online to extend my vocabulary and while there are gazillions of very nasty German nouns, we appear to have hardly any derogatory adjectives at all. A definite drawback when you feel the urge to let off steam. I has assumed that the "language of poets and thinkers" would be as rich in its more darker aspects as it is in the poetic or scientific sector. And my native Bavarian, usually a reliably picturesque language, appears to suffer from the same deficiency. Utterly frustrating! (But after 45 years I now finally understand why our religion teacher used to swear in Swahili)
