I have an interview with my state's office of vocational rehab Thursday morning. I am hoping they can help me with a job/future career. I've felt awful all my adult life because I haven't been able hold down a steady job due to my social phobia. So I am hoping this is what will help me make my dream of working come true and will really provide some relief from my depression since unemployment is my biggest self esteem killer.

Anyway I'm anxious about this one, too. I'm particularly anxious about driving there. So some positive vibes would be appreciated.

I hope it goes wonderfully, that you're confident and that you enjoy the drive.

If you haven't been there, and you're worried about finding it or where to park, maybe you could do the drive Sun morning (no traffic).

Thank you everyone!!!

I am getting my paperwork ready. I am looking at my high school transcript. I finished with a 3.7 GPA and 31st out of 340 seniors. That's good considering I missed a lot of school due to anxiety and failed gym class due to anxiety (lol).

Makes me feel better about myself!

I think we might be related :) Driving is our necessary evil! If you can get an office job you can hide in your cube like I use to do! I put boxes in-front of my cube opening to keep people out :) INTROVERTS RULE! It's time for YOU to be the bully instead of depression! Kick its butt B!

Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
