I was taking martial arts lessons for three years and finally had my brown belt (yeah, the one riiiight before black!) when I stopped. I was only taking a “break” for my first semester of college, but I got side-tracked and now here I am in my fifth semester, still without my black belt! I’ve definitely gotten physically weaker, and I’m beginning to forget some of the moves I was so good at. As soon as I get my Bachelor’s Degree, I’m going back. There’s no way I’m going to quit so close to the finish line again.

I know what I have to do to get there - knowing is half the battle, right? - the only problem is figuring out HOW…
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
14 months ago
I’m 20 years old and was recently diagnosed with GAD… which basically means that I worry 20 hours a day about the most ridiculous, improbable things. I don’t want to go on any type of medication, so I’m trying my hardest to stop through sheer force of will. Hopefully I can overcome this on my own.
