9. What are you currently doing to conquer SA? Everyday is a battle. I haven't done anything special yet, I tried medication (propranolol), it helped a little with the heart pounding but overall it's not a solution for SA. I'm thinking of starting martial arts, meditation (yoga?) and therapy. I'm also thinking of joining some type of charity work to push myself to meet people and help me feel better about myself. I'm also thinking of slowly changing my sleeping schedule, wake up earlyer. If I can manage to do all these things, my situation...atleast I hope, would only get better...

10. What are your short-term and long-term goals? Short-term goals would be to buckle down and put in all the efforts I should in school. To become more social and more present around my family (who I've been avoiding too much). And then go on to conquering my SA...

Bonus question: Do you like cheese? I love cheese.
