One More Cup...

I'm a 21 year old History student. I like to read, write, drink coffee.

So, I have been suffering for the past three-four years with a bit of anxiety.  At first, I thought they were just run of the mill worries, or panic attacks before speeches.  But in the past three months, they have gotten to the point where I have been avoiding social situations and staying pretty much a recluse (tumblr much?).

It has been an odd time in my life, because I have gone to two therapists and had a pysch evaluation.  For those who know me, which is few online, this is something that I am not very used to doing.

I have been loaded up on two different types of pills-one which will take about 3-6 weeks to start and one that has been a godsend as of late and rolls up all my anxiety about 30 minutes after I take it.

The reason I am writing this to you all (hi new followers…thanks for following!) is because I need some moral support.  A lot of my friends think I am just crying for attention, or “everyone else has it”.  But what I need right now is for those people who have it, or for people who knew someone who had anxiety to give me some advice. I start a support group in October, but want to start dealing with this now.  Anxiety has pretty much dominated my life in some way or another for the past three years, and I think its about time that I conquer this old beast.  Any one care to help?

My email is Christopher.Mallon@gmail.com, if you have any profound words of advice or a good suggestion for a movie/song I should listen to that either you really like or helped you get through a tough time in your life.


Thanks for listening to me, even if you don’t care, it is just nice to be read.
