I believe you will do well....Hugs for you, and to let you know everyone is nervous when starting a new job. So you are not alone. Tell me how it goes.:-)
Hug
Aww. Thanks. It was no problem to reply back. Like I said, I was hoping to meet people that have similar issues like mine. And as for songs? Lols. My music is prolly wayyyy different from your taste.. But since you asked, here goes. I usually listen to, Otep & In this moment. Now, if you really listen to them, you'd prolly think ' Omfg? ' Lol, I know. It's just something about them. It relaxes me, [Even though, they're both heavy metal.] Also, a huge song to me, was ' Home ' By Chris Daughtry. Even though, I was never a huge fan of him, nor what his music is about. I just so happend to be in jail in 2007, for five months. & Whenever that song came on, it totally took me out of where I was, away from the drama, away from home sick, away from everything. & Kinda put me in a relaxing state of mind. It made me feel, well, exactly what he's talking about. = ]

Close Anxiety
My story, in terms of anxiety, is that 3 to 5 years ago I developed social anxiety. Before that I had always been a little shy but somewhat social at the same time. My shyness never stopped me from doing most things, especially not everyday things like going to the grocery store or the library. For the past 3 years however, I have experienced anxiety in situations that involve social interaction inculding day-to-day activities like buying milk at the corner store. I feel like a stranger.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- With breathing and relaxing while closing my eyes, I feel it is helpful. Maybe helps 10-20%
- Paxil Not Working
- Paxil made me feel more sensitive to light and color. It made me sweat a bit more. Also felt slightly in a daze. But didn't really feel more comfortable or more happy. 5mg
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- For shortterm. It did help. It calmed me down almost immediately and I was able to feel comfortable in most social situations. This drug is quite addictive and I became dependent on it. 0.5mg I gradually reduced it and am now not taking it.
Close Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Type: Nodular SclerosisDiagnosed with Hogkin's Lymphoma in January 2009.
Treatments
- ABVD Too Soon to Tell
- Had one treatment. Day 2 and 3 were the hardest. Although the nausia and vomiting were well controlled by medication, I did not have any appetite and did not feel well. The fourth day was fine except for the extreme sensitivity of my taste buds, but thankfully that only lasted a day or so. After day 4 I feel pretty good, just tired and slightly aching bones.
