About Me
I've been "dealing" (not always well) with anxiety & panic attacks since I was a kid. I've also had challenges with food to cope with my anxieties (emotional eating, binge eating). And I come from a nice long line of closet alcoholics ... great. Recently suffered from a bout of depression - that was a new one. Docs think it's related to the anxiety but I suspect it was a result of burnout after a long stretch of working 7 days a week with ridiculous amounts of overtime. Now I'm recovering and getting back to my fun, caring, energetic, spunky self - yahoo! I'm open to talking about the effects of anxiety and/or addictions on day to day life, coping strategies, stress management techniques, and natural healing methods. And sharing laughs, lots of laughs.
