My Anxiety Surfaces + Rest in Peace, Whitney Houston

I've been missing countless days of work due to my anxieties. I have, also, not been to therapy for about 3 weeks. I can't bring myself to call my therapist to schedule another appointment. I wish he had a receptionist that I could leave a message with.

I will try to call tomorrow but truly hope I get his voicemail.

The passing of Whitney Houston is yet another reminder that we must live our lives to the fullest. I will keep fighting, in essence, for my life!

Rest in Peace, Whitney. Your music has healed me many times!

I know that it is difficult to deal with anxiety. I am going through a period of handling my own and it has been a real challenge.

I hope you make that call my sista. Believe me, you have so much to contribute and so much to receive. Please do not deny yourself that opportunity.

*S.A. = Social Anxiety

SIDE NOTE: I sometimes use the term shy and social anxiety and introvert interchangeably but introvert is actually different. You can be an introvert and not have social anxety. Some people say shy is the same as social anxiety and some say its the same as introversion but I use the term painfully shy to mean social anxiety because social anxiety is painful! Just wanted to clarify this.

I'm available for hire for freelance writing and guest posts about social anxiety. Would you like to be a guest on the PainfullyShy Radio Show? Contact: painfullyshy@rock.com.
