    • About Me

      I am a Fleet lineup Attendant-midnight shift.I have 2 teen boys and am living with a wonderful, loving and very supportive man. I have been living with anxiety/panic disorder for 12 years and the past 6 months have been the worst. I want to regain a little control so that I can start enjoying life again. I have felt like a prisoner within myself and home. I love to make people laugh. I want to be able to dance again Hihy
