Anxiety

Seriously, too many! But..a few of my favorites... The Holiday, The Siege, Seven, The Usual Suspects, Juno, The Family Stone, and all of M. Night Shamalan's movies (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, etc.)

I listen to just about everything, except super-heavy metal and not too much country. My i-Pod collection pretty much covers the spectrum, though I mosty listen to adult alternative.

I loved The Alienist and DaVinci Code. I am currently reading Manic, a memoir from a woman with bi-polar disorder. Very fascinating!

Well...let's see. I would think the most important thing about myself is why I joined this site - - and that's because I have a panic disorder that just lingers there like an irritating bee.
I'm originally from Chicago, but have lived in Phoenix for the past 5 years, where I went back to school, obtained a bachelors in Global Finance and am now working for one of the "Big 4" public accounting firms. It's a challenge to say the least - since the job requires travel (sometimes frequent and/or last minute notice) and there is no such thing as a "routine" day with this type of work. I am making my best attempt at a normal life - some days it seems to be going great and other days (when the anxiety is winning) I just want to give up.
I'm friendly, compasionate, caring and have even been labeled "outgoing". When I tell people I have a panic disorder, they are always shocked - but it just goes to show you that what you see on the outside isn't always a reflection of what's going on inside. And that's basically me.

I love people who are comfortable with who they are and don't pretend to be something else. I love down-to-earth people and my favorite thing is really just to hang out with friends and talk. My ideal weekend is to hole-up with a good friend, order a pizza and rent some great movies! Speaking of movies and tv I am an addict! : )(particularly LOST and Grey's Anatomy)but I watch it all (thanks to good old Tivo)

Egos, fake people, black licorice (yuck), closed-minded/judgmental/racist people; and of course...panic attacks.

Not too many. I love movies, and spend a lot of time catching up on my Tivo when I'm not working. I would LOVE to travel internationally, if I could just get this dang panic thing under control.
