My awkward introduction...
My Name is Taryn. I'm from San Diego, California. I have been dealing with severe anxiety for a few years now. I had been seeing shrinks since I was a kid for depression and anxiety. I was hard-core addicted to tranquilizers for years due to anxiety and over-medication by my doctors.
I'm drug free now, but still dealing with anxiety daily including sometimes daily panic attacks. I don't really know how to catagorize my anxiety as its a combination of social, health, OCD, and general anxiety.
My life is also filled with alot of stress inducing situations oftentimes and I commonly find myself emotionally overwhelmed. This may sound strange, but I am a transsexual adjusting to living a new life so this I'm sure that is also contributing to my dialy anxiety. Although in many ways I may be very different. It sounds that my symptoms and side effects of anxiety are very similar to what I have read here.
This month is especially very stressful as I'm having cosmetic surgery in a weeks time. Added to this is the fact that this surgury will be televised. So Im worried about the filming, and the surgery. I'm terrified of surgery to be honest. I am SO afraid of being 'put under'. But I know it will help me in the long run and I am confident it will help with my social anxiety, so I'm trying to deal. (although not very well yet)
Anyway, thats a little bit about me. If you want to contact me my email is tranzgression@yahoo.com.
