About Me
I met my husband on the internet and we've been married for 2 years now. Dreams do come true :) I don't have the best self-confidence, and I wish I could do more, but many things hold me back with social anxiety. I have a horrible self-esteem level.

Interests
I don't do much of what does interest me because of laziness and low self-esteem. I want to start painting again but I have no one to push me into it. I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I love to spend time with my family and friends, when the anxiety is low that is.

Close Shyness
I have Social Anxiety Disorder and a problem with Shyness. I've started going to therapy and I'm learning some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. I'm easily embarrassed and avoid situations where I might be put on the spot.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- I've tried therapy and exposure therapy which has been working for me lately. Slow process but all in due time :)
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
Close Back Pain
I have Degenerative Disc Disease. Also, from a previous job I have a number of muscle knots and spasms in my back. I've also worn away more than half of the cartilage in my shoulders. I'm not even 30 yet!
Treatments
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
- I tried acupuncture a few times but I was still working at the job that was causing me pain, so it was counteractive.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- It was only a temporary relief in my opinion.
- Naproxen Not Working
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- TENS Not Working
Open Seasonal Affective Disorder
I think I've had Seasonal Affective Disorder for years now, but I never really understood what it was until recently. The fact that the clocks went back last night made me even more depressed. I think what's helping me lately is keeping busy. After work I'll go to the gym, which gets me home around 7:00, after dinner and cleaning up it's a bit later, so I have it off of my mind. What kills me is that the cold is here. I need the heat, the sun, the light. It's actually anxiety-provoking.
Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
I have social anxiety and it's ruled my life. I'm much better now than I was a few years ago. I would just have anxiety attacks when I saw people approaching. I believe that this fear can be conquered in manageable steps, through exposure. I have done this, and for the most part, it's worked. I still struggle with situations that for most people are not even thought about.
