Just keep convncing your will to succeed that it's STRONGER than your fear! You CAN convince it, Andrea! Fight the fear, don't let it win!

You might want to try a different medication, I had to try several before I found what works for me, I'm taking two at once right now and I feel better than I ever have.

Andrea,

I just wanted to say that graduating is a very stressful transition for may people. I know your classmates are freaking out too. I freaked out (and to a degree am still freaking out!) No, it doesn't help that SA gets in our way. However, we got to work hard and adapt. Are you seeing a therapist? It is always good to have someone to speak to face-to-face?
